Pepe LeFrits

The worrying thing watching Hein here is he's played for Estonia 20-odd times, so this is unlikely to be nerves. He's just bad.

Balo did everything except for the finish

Brilliant again from Nwaneri, put it on a plate for Balogun who couldn't score after sleeping the keeper.

    Maybe not flashy in the stepover sense, but his first touch, close control and balance is absolutely exceptional.

    He looked completely gassed 5 minutes after coming on. Probably the hard pre-season training killing him - it's easy to forget just how young he is. That said, he was still probably the standout of that half for us.

    Ricky1985 Was it definitely Nwaneri and not Lewis-Skelly?

    Could have been either one, replay didn't show who that bit again. Then again I rate Skelly quite highly so I wouldn't be surprised if it were him.

      Glad we kept Nwaneri I have to say. It’s funny, good young players look better with quality around them, bad ones look exposed.

      Just seen the brief highlights on Arsenal.com. That own goal feels like the kind of thing we'd do to get knocked out of the CL. Where did Havertz play?

        Big Willie It was Skelly. Great ball, shame Flo couldn't wrap his foot around it enough.

        Nwanieri looks class - great control and body shape / movement. Very glad he signed on.

        Here's the touches from the youngsters.

        Gazza M I can't believe he's still here and actually playing for us. Means he's not close to leaving, unlike Pepe and Patino

          Really like a backline of Kiwior, Gabriel, Saliba and White. All four can handle themselves physically and work the ball to a good level. It’s such a base for our midfield and attack to work from.

            This game highlighted to me just how much we’d benefit from another good striking option who brings something different. Jesus, Nketiah and Balogun are all too similar in style. It’s ok for continuity. But when the time comes to thrust it in rather than delicately kiss around it we really could do with something different
