Rusty. Needs time.

A win is a win. Couldn't control the game as much as we used to and the subs made the game very sloppy and disjointed. But I guess it was about minutes at that point. 

 

Have a feeling that'll be the easiest game of the group so good to get a comfortable win, but I'm not buying the hype as much as others.

Fofana is extraordinary

We just put every player available to us on the bench which meant both keepers - pretty much every team playing tonight had 2 keepers on the bench as you get 12 subs

Luke Thomas was a surprise omission

Looks more like Ghezzal than Mahrez to me so far.

Thankyou.

 

Just noted it on the BBC Sport page when checking the line ups - only just got in from work - and it only showed 8 subs and of course there was two keepers in there which seemed strange.

I thought his delivery from the corners and free kicks was good, a few misplaced passes, but he’s willing to get forward, it’s early days yet so people need to give him time.

[ARM1968]

Yes folks. A good result against a poor side. A win is a win though, so hopefully some confidence will be gleaned from this.

Meh he’s a different type of player.

 

Give him time.

Thought Praet played the Matt Oakley role well

3 things stick in my mind so far from his 2 appearances. 3 dives! 

[Bats8711]

Not often I notice how good a game the ref is having

[FoxinNotts]

Fofana, Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison and Praet were all top notch tonight

[Corky]

Rodgers didn't seem too impressed with the performance.

 

I like that honesty.

No one going to mention that pass from under to castagne in the buildup to setting up that praet chance? Once he gets going and does things like that consistently he should be class for us.

In the Europa your allowed to name your remaining listed squad on the bench, and make 5 in game subs

What's all this patronising praise for the ref? Only mentioned as it was a woman. Sexism. 

[Aus Fox]

Good comfortable win, they kept the ball very well for the first half an hour or so, but after we scored it was very comfortable.

Very similar to the West Brom game at the start of the season.

Fofana looked outstanding and will score a few goals with his big leap, unlucky not to get one tonight.

Tielemans oozes class, everything good came through him and he controlled the game.

Barnes tore them a new one and was outstanding.

Iheanacho is a brilliant number 10, dont expect him to be a 9 and do what Vardy does, he plays his own game and does his job very well.

Really hoping the Premier League put a sneaky bid in for Stephanie Frappart in January, not sure if it was the lack of VAR or the way she had no time for rolling around tactics but the best official I’ve seen in a long time.

On to Athens next!

[Manini]

Thought Under was alright when he came on. He moves the ball quickly and looks quite quick himself.

I don’t think any of it is patronising, she has a great game and far better than what we are used to in the Premier League.

It’s quite sad that you chose to see it that way.

Yea great win but the opponents were on Par with Blackpool.

 

Do not get carried away with that scoreline.

 

Positives barnes looked like C Ronaldo.

 

Fringe players got minutes.

 

Hopefully builds confidence for arsenal 

Dont be fooled by the sky sports Premier league superiority delusion! Plenty of good sides across Europe that you haven't necessarily heard of. And these proved they are one of them them with their play in the first 30 mins. 

 

Dunno how much league one footy you watch but they were a lot better than blackpool! These have drew with dynamo keiv and Shaktar Donestk already this season (the same Shaktar who beat real Madrid last night.) for comparison Blackpool lost 4-1 to Ipswich last week! 

[FoxinNotts]

Mendy. Great game tonight, all action 👏🏻

I thought he looked a bit brighter tonight to be fair
