worst first half of this season. Thankfully we sorted the pressing game after half time and Leeds tired predictably but overall not great at all.

WE NEED PLAYERS!!!!!

Yes, it was as bad as the last few months. But 2nd half it was an entirely different team. And most importantly, we got the win.

Holding is fkin terrible, he's not bad at actual defending but his passing and composure on the ball was woeful and almost let them score twice.

Hoping this is just rust otherwise he's not an answer for CB.

Not sure what the hell Xhaka was doing that first half either.

Don't think there's much to say.

Outplayed by a lower league side. Character and fighting spirit instilled by previous regime got us through.

Watched the highlights on BBC website and read the report

Arsenal have won back-to-back matches for the first time since October (against Standard Liege and Bournemouth), which was also the last time they kept consecutive clean sheets.

Reiss Nelson has been directly involved in four goals in his last four starts for Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in all competitions - two goals and two assists.

Leeds attempted 15 shots in the opening 45 minutes against Arsenal, the joint most shots the Gunners have faced in the first half of a game this season.


How we kept a clean sheet, I don't know but a good sign

The first half was dreadful. If Leeds had good strikers wed have been f***ked

Much more aggressive in the second half.

Martinelli looked dangerous as soon as he came on, he should have played 90 mins if he was fit.

Good to see Holding back

Martinez good shot stopping but poor distribution throughout the match

Blimey that was shit - but it's the result that matters and after the worst 45 minutes imaginable taking off Nelson (who was excellent) and Ozil (who was terrible) did at least make the second half a bit better in terms of shape, well done Arteta. 18 shots allowed at home thank f**k they can't shoot straight ...

How do players go from putting in a huge effort one game to looking so utterly disinterested in the next ... we're not alone Spuds, Chelsea, Utd even City have the same issues ... in fact LiVARpool are also hot and cold they just have the extra man every game.

B'mouth reserves in the next round, if we show up it's an easy win - that's if we show up.

You forgot to mention Ozil was good in the second half. Imagine that.
