We’ve probably just got the PSV manager sacked
Or he is in the running for Man U.

Good overall performance by Arsenal but I thought the scoreline flattered a bit, I didn't think we were massively better than some other games. When I've seen Arsenal score 7 in the past they've been a lot better. We had under 2 xG which kinda tells you what you need to know about the keeper albeit some good finishes from tight angles etc (i.e. we took tough chances really well especially Nwaneri so you'd expect to outperform xG).
I was saying MLS needed subbing at HT but fair play to Arteta he didn't even wait that long. Not worth the risk of a red card. Needs to work on his poker face as well he looked round at the ref like a kid waiting to be told off for something haha
re: Nwaneri, historically I've always been against putting kids into England too early, but I've also been proven wrong about that e.g. Owen and Rooney (still think I was right about Walcott though). I've mellowed a bit in recent times and feel like it should be a pure merit thing so on the one hand I would put him in if he's one of the best in his position, but equally I wouldn't put him in just 'to have a look at him' or for him to gain experience.
