Nice build up there from Pepe
Should a red card it was sooo blatant and quite dangerous
Nelson was gone there
Awful tackle from Lascelles.

Yeah lovely play, both are very bright at the moment
I like the look of the wingers. Looking dangerous
Mari is a very likeable player. Per vibes.

Ouch. It looks like a twisted ankle. It must hurt like a mofo, but as long as he didn't twist the knee he should be fine.

Yeah have had that vibe about him too.. Calming effect

AMN would have at least panenka'd it.
Excellent from Mari again.
The wingers and 10 are much more fluid than they were. Wasn't sure if it was just ESR, Saka, etc but I think it's tactical. Pepe, Willian and Nelson seem to have much more freedom to leave their area, interchange, etc
Mari so calm to start it off, El Neny works it brilliantly out of pressure, Willock with a nice position/turn of pace, and then Pepe lost in his world 😆
You get the sense that the defensive line is a bit straighter and less erratic with him on the pitch. The sample size isn't big to be fair, but it does feel like having Mertesacker in there like you say, with the added bonus that he's good enough individually to turn a forward if he has to.
