Motm Saka or Leno.

Laca comfortably the worst player on the pitch - even with his goal.

Poor from Arteta but it was a clean sheet and a win away so its not the end of the world

Tough away fixture in a hostile stadium against a bunch of cynical cloggers.

Good win.

If we end up somehow winning the Europa league it will be one of the most impressive things any manager has ever done for us.

This is not a high quality team at all. This team is average.

This has been one of the worst matches i have ever seen Arsenal involved in, but both teams.

Olympiakos are Burnley with a hot tan. They are terrible, even Valbuena who was a wicked player was almost non existent.

I'm happy for Laca, struggled but got his goal, will keep his confidence up.

Also another Assist for Saka!

Mustafi, Xhaka and Willock out best players today.

I'd give Mustafi MOTM

Moan when we draw, moan when we lose, moan when we win.

Some fans are just moaners.

Played out as expected. Scrappy win but we improved once we made changes. We could have ended the tie tonight. Clean sheet at least but I hope we don't see that mess of a line up again because the changes made showed up the starting line up.

Mustafi da boss with another clean sheet.

Awful performance overall though, lucky that we sent our first XI and eked out the 3 points.

always happy to win. always happy to keep a clean sheet.

never happy to see such lack of offensive nous. our midfield is so crap. when fielding xhaka and guendo as starters is what your BEST optoins are?
good god.

at least we have improved and dont give up THAT MANY CLEAR chances.

glad the boys will be in a good mood. scraping by is better than playing poor and losing.

We beat a CL team, and some people are unhappy. We beat them playing average football, ambling in 3rd gear....shows the potential.
We're in better frame of mind than 3 months ago, for sure.

Willock was terrible.


In a sense of how terrible his final ball was everytime i agree.

I have low expectations for him. hes a very limited player technically. has poor technique, so his movement and runs is whats hes all about which he was very good. Won a lot of fouls with powerful runs, solid dribbling.

Remember, this was a absolutely atrocious game of football, so the bar was not set very high by anyone at all.

Iwobi was better since he actually had brilliant technique, but he isn't good enough infront of goal and has dire, dire decision making, very slow thought process, dwells on the ball too much at times. The truth people aren't aware of is he's not actually a very quick player, he's athletic but not quick, he cannot beat players for pace like Martinelli, Adrama Traore etc..

He needs to be given a attacking midfield role which will bring the best out of him, hes not good or effective out wide for Everton which is the same as he was for us. In the middle i always noticed his decision making was better because he had that important responsibility to help link up in the final 3rd so he got passing ability and it showed in the times he was briefly played there in cup games in 2016 to 2018 and he can build into an attacking playmaker role which is his best position. for me.
