He had no options every time but managed to push us up the pitch a number of times.

Lionel Phillips .Did I miss something? Thought Phillips did well when he came on. Lost the ball a couple of times but there was no one to pass to. Made some good tackles and some decent runs. With 10 against 12 he helped keep the clean sheet. Don’t get all the criticism
In a perverse way I enjoyed that more than a jeopardy free 3 or 4 nil stroll. Maybe our game management could have been better but was a proper work-out for the defence. Ake and Gvardiol excellent in the second half. Great save when it matters from Ederson.

I think you know full well that I was talking about the second half. That was the epitome of a game of two halves.You didn't see the utterly mind blowing football leading up to our 2 goals then?

That's what champions do. Well played lads.
Phillips played well , just don’t think he should be the single defensive midfielder, looks like a player that needs someone next to him. I think if he had the security of a 2nd midfielder next to him we’d see a very good player.

Rodri did the fuckup yet Philips get the most blame.
It's fucking obssession i tell you, like really personal hatred against the guy.

Battling second half performance not sure how we fill Rodri's boots especially in the Gooners away game. Pep did say he needed a rest well he's certainly got one.......an utter moment of madness from someone whose normally so calm.
A real test of character that second half, and we passed with flying colours and a clean sheet.In a perverse way I enjoyed that more than a jeopardy free 3 or 4 nil stroll.
