Smart signing, I too was reserved but if eto and Kone can chip in a few goals and give lukaku a break here and there then great business... It's been awhile since the idea of us sending out a second team for early cup games could have starters like Eto/Kone,Besic/Gibson, Stones and Oviedo. Squad depth WHEN fully fit is fantastic!

Kagawa could really fit in..

He will be handy in capital one cup games and maybe early Europa league

I actually think we are close to being very good. Martinez will learn from these things, something moyes never really did.

 

We could have been 3 goals up against a good arsenal team, that first goal was so slick.

This is exactly how the thread should be left. We are incredibly close to being a real force and I'm genuinely excited to see how we go against chelsea...

I'd have him

Until we learn how to win these games, we're not a top 4 side in afraid. Solid performance for 80mins but not good enough overall.

Cannot be serious

Nervous now

Naismith is so dangerous haha. They keep kicking him because he has just been a pain in arse...nal all game.

Man of the match for me.

This is a great time for Mcgeady

Think we're due a change, get another pacy lad on and catch them out

I live for Naismith now. Love it

Surely ones got to get a second yellow

Grubs

Very lucky. Naisy really putting in

He hasn't really had to has he? We are 2 nil up. He's not lost the ball and made a nice turn and got a cross in as soon as he came on.

 

I'd understand giving someone stick for "being anonymous" if we were 2 nil down but we aren't, so why the critisism? He's done alright

Exactly right. He's doing a job moving the ball along

Not a dig at Ossie, as he is doing an important job, but depending how the game pans out of course, I hope Martinez is brave and subs him off for Besic/stones to sure it up for the last 20 (hopefully 3/4-0 by then)

This whole lukaku out wide against Arsenal seems to cause them big problems... It looks like Metresacker drifts out to follow him a bit.

I think Arsene missed the beat with Sanchez up top on his own, especially with how Jags and Distinct struggled with the big fella last week!

Need to push on from here, this is a chance to make a right statement.

It's so close I don't see how they can complain so much.. Key is Debuchy didn't go up about it

Get in

Get in

I like how we are set up... Inches to another goal we look a real threat here

Now that's a yellow for sure

Bit rough.. debuchy milked it

But i might be wrong lol

I think your spot on, primarily left wing but freeish role...
