Mustafi looks cut out for our style of play.

Leave Ox on bottle collecting duty around the touchline = 3 points

CB pairing was on point tbh. I was very impressed with Mustafi


Mustafi was good but lost a couple of aerial battles.


Yeah my main concern with Mustafi is that he appears awful in the air! teams like palace with betnteke and United with Ibra will focus on that!

The first infraction in context with the whole shirt pulling stance this season was enough, the leg trip was just stupid. Defo get where you were coming from, im so desensitized to things like that not being given, it seemed odd that it did.

He just seemed a tad too early with his jumps, the ball seemed to skim clear but behind him instead of into a neutral or defensive area for Soton. Hopefully he just needs to adjust a bit, becuase hes going to have a tough time v the giant teams if he doesnt adjust quickly.

Wenger got away with a really bad team to start things off but I dont think he will have learned from it.

I don't think the team was bad. We just started like we didn't want to play.

I mean we dominated them for most of the match.


We had two shots on goal the entire match while they had 5.

Our ball movement, passing, and attack was a lot more fluid once Ox and Walcott were out.

There is no sugar coating it. Players like Ox and Walcott are holding this team back.

Ox is especially frustrating because he is just dumb with the ball. Absolutely terrible footballing IQ.

Do you remember how man times the Southampton defenders threw themselves in front of the ball whenever our players had clear shots. Their defending was just incredible.

Van Dijk in particular who I thought was the league's best CB last season seemed to always be in the right spot.

Wot a Shit Performance man. Arsene needs to kick everyone on their back side. Even arsene was bamboozled on the touch line by the awfull display. Alexis was good in build up but terrible finishing. Ozil was great but when it mattered he fumbled. Walcott is invisible Chambo doesn't learn. Santi and Coq were brilliant like our back four and keeper.

Lucas was Walcott today. Fumbled many times. He lacked service but i didnt see a striker in him.

Iwobi should start every premier league game.

Giroud came to our rescue. He was good.

Pathetic performance.

This was a B team. No Sanchez, no Giroud starting, Ox and Theo on the wings.....
No Xhaka.

And what did they do when they came on? Fumbling Chances?

The Players are simply not Living up to the expectations. Alexis should have scored that.

When you have ox on your left, walcott on your right and coq running around you, every decision will turn to be a bad one.
