I really think we should have picked Maitland-Niles for this. Hoping for an early sub appearance now. Would have gone with Willock too, potentially. Everyone knows exactly how West Brom will play. A little more steel on the field would have made me less worried.

Would like to see AMN in the middle but I don't think it's where they see him in this squad.

Other changes make sense. As always the midfield pair us terrible and needs upgrading.

It’s important to keep the winning back fours together. Bellerin hasn’t put a foot wrong last two games for me.

Bellerin been good, midfield still terrible. Play AMN in midfield.

Probably wouldn't have made sense to play him in midfield given the last 3 times we played him there he looked really great

Much better tempo to start the match.

Ceballos shooting from 55 yards. Stop with that bollocks.

Was that a shot? It’s gone into orbit 

Decent attempt from Saka to just burst past and hit the ball hard.

We're on the offensive which is good to see, hopefully we get a goal soon

Was channeling his inner Seedorf. Comedic result.

Ivanovic has aged terribly, hasn't he? Bloke looks like he's 60.

Saka is so good on the right. Auba was unlucky

Nice pass from dani and cross from saka. Looks like a terrible finish/non-finish from Auba

So close from Auba. Faction of a second too late to react. But what a cross from Saka.

Sakas playing great again.

He looks the same age as Holding tbf

He didn't do anything wrong, but it sucks that it's become the norm for him to just not reach those tap-ins.

Saka looks much more sharper than against Brighton (first half). Not unpleased with the team's start.

Ceballos is all over the place, in a positive way.
