Make no mistake, that was a big win today. Lose and the press are all over us but we won at a canter yet only at 75% of our best.

I thought Razza looked impressive, I have high hopes for Mahrez, and if our very best players hit top form we really should be unstoppable.

can't blame them for trying advertise their country. All I know about Rwanda is that there was a massive genocide there.

but Ederson and Mendy looked far too lackadaisical and sloppy out there. as if they're resting on their laurels from last season. both are young players so im not surprised by this. wouldnt mind seeing both benched next week (yes i know that means Bravo in goal).


A rusty Ederson is still more assuring than in form Bravo.

Bodes well to come out of the match with 3 points and no goals conceded despite not fully firing. At this stage, we need to keep picking up the points before we reach our full potential.

Pep agrees with me 100% on the subject of Mendy leaving social media and focusing on playing football .

He was fuckign shit today in defense , regardless of his assist ,he should have been taken off at half time .

He would have been taken off only they couldn't get the wifi working at the Emirates.

Few lads looked rusty and some of best players didn’t start and yet we won pretty handily away at arsenal. I’m not gonna slaughter them, I’m sure they know more is required. Very happy overall.
Tracking back is overrated.

Felt so good proper football is back.
Thought we were pretty good considering the difficult preseason and fitness levels. Got through a potential banana skin with three points so very happy overall.

Mendy is not a great defender although he did do a few very good things at the back. One block in particular was very important but he can be hit and miss whether he is in the correct position and even then whether he defends well enough. Overall quality though.

As a team I actually think 75% is overstating our performance. Far too many sloppy balls all through the team and I was happy Arsenal weren't at it.. Against a team playing well against us we may not have won. Having said that if they had played better maybe we would have as well.

Loads for Pep to work on
