Think it’ll take match play before any of us can say whether it’s Trossard or Martinelli at CF
MistaT wouldn't even mind if they were interchanging. Might be a bit too much to expect that kind of fluidity in their first match together. Could definitely see Trossard as a much more roaming CF akin to Jesus though.
Should be Trossard up top. Martinelli hasn't played up front since Emery left.
Trossard is wasted on the wings. Better in the box
Looks like Leo up front
Some sloppy touches and passes already. Get that out of their system
Come on Xhaka, take that shot, don't try to put it across..
We've started really well.
Either Xhaka rediscovers his form today, or we have a problem.
Ricky1985 I think we swap ESR or Vieira in for him
Xhaka and Jorginho pushed right up.

Yep. I like the idea, as I've mentioned, but it's still a major change at a critical time.
I would really like to see Xhaka get that spark back, so we can make the change from a position of strength if we want to.
'Started really well, dominating'
In reality, their keeper and hasnt' had a save to make, midfield has been so sloppy

We're moving the ball around extremely well. If we keep this up, it's a matter of time before we score.
Though they look dangerous on the counter, too
4 fucking times a promising attack breaks down because of Xhaka
We've had possession and done nothing with it. I don't think we've had as good as a start with first chances
Lots of attacks breaking down at Xhaka's touch.
xhaka sees so much ball and does so little with it. can't wait to have a more dynamic player in his place
Xhaka needs to try shooting when he's getting the ball in the box, not trying to put it through 2 players to someone else. Yo've the got the left foot man, take a pop
xhaka is not fit for purpose, way too many opportunities in the final third. i'm not going to complain too much because it's clear arteta knows it and is just waiting for vieira to be really ready. xhaka probably knows vieira is coming for his job as well.
Top class pass from Jorginho to Saka
