See no reason why ESR shouldn't get more game time. Decent run-out today.

Apparently he's always injured.
MotM performance from Smith Rowe.

Nah, that's Gabriel. Snuffed out everything. Mountain of a man.
Nice shot from Eddie
Decent effort from Eddie.
Good we're getting some rotation in. We're clearly a bit mentally fatigued. A third goal would make it a great night.
Team looks knackered , hopefully Saka and Martinelli are fully fit v Brighton
Shame we decided to conserve energy and coast but at least a very comfortable night.
Bring on Brighton
Shit from our fans, to leave that early
Might be a bit of ring rust at play but Nketiah looks nowhere near up to it...
SimplyThePest Clearly the end of his time here. We are such a well-organized and robust team defensively, but we need a couple more attackers who are at the level of our defenders/Rice, and can really make the difference at the top level.
Credit to Arteta - didn’t think he’d make so many (much needed) changes. Credit to the team for making it a totally forgettable game, in the best possible way.
Should have scored about 2 more to pad our GD . Liverpool might hammer Sheffield United to bring themselves within range
GooneriC nah, you can't waste that kind of effort at this stage of the season. Best to just keep it professional, win the game, and keep everyone fit.
Only downside is Sir Galahad playing another 94 minutes.
We better not lose the league on goal difference
Pepe LeFrits
Sometimes it also key to preserve energy esp when games come think and fast every 3 days.
Professional win, let’s move on to Brighton away. We keep going 👊

Thought there was a bit of complacency in the performance actually, had a League Cup feel to it at times. But if you can get away with it, it's not the worst thing in the world.
Lets turn it back on for Saturday.
The difference between Odegaard and ESR at the very end there was very striking. ESR looked completely gassed 10 minutes after going off, Martin looked like he hadn't even played
Yeah, ESR was walking around about 5 mins before coming off. But to be fair to him, he's probably lacking match sharpness.
Was a good performance from him.
Pepe LeFrits Martin has been playing like this for 2-3 years. ESR is nowhere near that level. Thought all the boys did well in this context.
Fuck sakes. What a chance for Villa. Take a touch man.
