"Almost every team in the world" is quite a hefty sample size, so he's probably right tbf.

Gordon made the most of the contact but it was still definitely a foul for me, James knew it too hence why he didn't kick up much of a fuss

5 goals, 3 assists and 2 penalties won is a really strong start to the season from him, and those stats don't even reflect what he brings in terms of work rate. Ridiculous that Southgate overlooks him.

Going to be a top player when he bulks up a bit and gains the belief to impose himself a little bit more. Only Bruno moves the ball more fluently than him of our midfielders.

Don't think Trippier did much wrong like

Don't remember Tino struggling at all against Bournemouth? The goal came down that side, but there was nothing he could've done considering the deflection. Trippier was poor on both sides in that game.

I think top 4 is extremely unlikely now, and it shouldn't be the expectation. City, Liverpool and Arsenal will finish top 3, and that fourth spot is going to be too hotly contested for such a thin and depleted squad IMO, especially when you have Spurs playing one game a week. Things may look different in January if we're out of Europe entirely and out of the Carling cup I suppose, but at the moment I'm feeling like we'll come 6th or 7th, which wouldn't be an an awful season all things considered.

Looks a good prospect. Thought he probably should have stayed on ahead of Longstaff, who was clearly blowing through his arse.

Fatigue and injuries obviously an issue, but there have been some really poor individual performances here from key senior players. Trippier, Longstaff, Joelinton, Willock and Gordon in particular have been rank on the ball and with their decision making.

Surely we have some academy lads who can pad out the bench instead of putting two keepers on there every week?

I actually thought a bit much was made of the Bruno incident. It's a sort of "get out the way" nudge because Jorginho looks like he's about to block off his path, but it's higher than I think he meant it to be. It's possibly still a red, but I don't think he tried to do him.

Was impressed with him making himself available and asking for the ball. Small thing, but a lot of younger players would've hidden in that atmosphere.

Burn has been solid, but his limitations are obvious and (for me) you won't move forward at the highest level with a CB playing FB, it's arguably the most important position on the pitch now in modern systems.. It's brutal, but there isn't room for sentiment when you have a player warming the bench with this much talent.

He was shocking on both sides tbf

Said it in the match thread, and it's a bit of a cliche, but you just can't miss chances like that at this level, away from home especially. Really poor header. Love Joe but he needs to add goals to his game.

To be honest, watching his performance tonight makes it incredibly frustrating that we've been playing with a centre half at left back this season, and have been running Trips into the ground at right back. He's clearly more than ready. He looked the only player tonight who wasn't phased by the occasion.

Feels like we learnt nothing from the first leg, fell into the same traps. Really frustrating.

Can't miss chances like that at this level

We are playing with so much fear man

Interesting line up. Not completely convinced Tino is playing right wing? It's just as likely Hall is on the left wing, with the full back positions kept as they were the other night.

Didn't Ange get booked last night for mouthing off at the ref though? He reminds me of Klopp when he first came over. Saying all the right things, "refreshing", but the mask will slip.

The fallout from this has been absolutely beautiful, majestic. What a horrible club and fanbase Arsenal are.

Was Saka even on the pitch in the second half?

Remember him being quality on the ball for the saints, but I've been really surprised and impressed with how good his defending is. He's played against three tricky wingers in Grealish, Garnacho and Martinelli and has probably only been done once or twice. Extremely impressive.

Didn't notice him, which is always a huge compliment for a centre half when you've kept a clean sheet.
