Brentford vs Arsenal | 27th Sept| KO: 19: 45(UK Time). EFL Cup 3rd Round

FEBravo

Havertz is making me miss Xhaka. Quite the accomplishment.

He’s so scared tries to unload the ball asap, usually backwards

James

FEBravo He's done the dirty side of Xhaka's game quite well. Made a couple of good recovery runs and clearances in our own box. Just so evident that his confidence is shot in everything else he tries.

Rohit

Nketiah's brain lets him down in decisive moments. I am not sure there is a solve for that.

Coombs

Rohit he's a fraction off on everything he does. Touch a fraction too loose, makes decisions a fraction too slowly, just barely not quick enough to do the necessary damage...

Big Willie

If only he'd dummied that to ESR.

Havertz.......

goon

Clrnc

He looks so basic…

KingslandBarge

Nice half from all the chaps. Patient possession control, all technically assured. Precious minutes for Emile.

Rohit

goon I wish he could do the basic well right now.

James

Given the number of changes, and the strength of the Brentford side, that's a very good first half performance. Controlling the game, and very good shape and press off the ball.

Nelson has been excellent. ESR looked at his best for 10 mins there.

Meatwad

that wissa fella from brentford is an arteta style finisher. wouldn't be surprised if we paid 70m for him.

KingslandBarge

Meatwad he made that chance look so hard

You or anyone here probably won't agree but think Havertz has been fine. I'm actually seeing progress in these last two stints

FEBravo

James yes I meant offensively. Agree with you on the defensive side and probably why Arteta rates him so much.

Dragan

Enjoyable half that. Some decent spells of possession, we controlled the game well, and pressed them well without it. I expected us to struggle considering Brentford put out a strong 11, and they usually step up against better sides.

goon

Nice half. So good to see ESR gliding across the pitch again, he needs to get much more game time in the coming months.

Nelson has looked good too, like how he really tries to progress play rather than just pass back.

Jorginho is also class, no idea what happened to him on Sunday.

Sagoe Jr has looked bright.

Hopefully we see some Walters in the second half.

James

goon Nelson has looked good too, like how he really tries to progress play rather than just pass back.

Has been the real change in his game this last year. Clearly been coached into him because he simply wasn't doing it enough before. Credit to him.

Big Willie

We should be regularly subbing on those two most games to give Saka and Martinelli a rest or to give us a different option for the last 30mins or so.

Horrible football. Bar maybe Nelson, none of the team have any cuteness about their play. It’s all hustle and relying on set routine patterns.

Man’s starving for a Bergkamp.

mohan

Havertz has been useless. We should bin him. Waste of space.
Who are the goal scorers in the team? ESR is the only one I can see with a good shot with nelson a close second who can have a good shot.

Play patterns are so nice. We are a good passing team who doesn't know how to get the ball into the goal.

Panda

He really lacks conviction in everything he does.

Nelson and Smith Rowe earning themselves PL starts I hope.

Another annoying thing Arteta does never rewards players when they play well and are in good form.

Qwiss

Good half from the Hale End boys in attack. ESR just injects pace and purpose to the attack. Nelson is playing well too, I'm impressed by his getting back and helping out. Sagoe looks decent and Eddies been good.

Havertz and Kiwior really slow things down when they get on the ball. Haven't been impressed with either of them.
