    Ref denies WBA a stonewall penalty to play advantage.
    Ref gives arsenal a stonewall free kick on edge of penalty box even though arsenal had advantage.
    The inconsistency from refs within a match is mind boggling.

    "Arsenal had plenty of the ball but look indecesive defensively"
    Alexis should have had a clear penalty as well. Inconsistency goes on. Ref has been more on our side than WBA that is for sure.

    Some nicer interplay between Ramsey, Lacazette and Alexis.

    People would be drooling if the name of Ramsey was Ozil instead :)

    Bobby Madley's problem is not inconsistency. He's ****.

    1-0. HT.

    We're fortunate to be going into half-time winning. Pulis teams have historically come to us with the intention of going direct and shutting up shop, but they've actually defended pretty well and are counter-attacking very effectively. In terms of quality of chances, they have created better ones than we have. I hate the man, but I'll give credit where its due.

    Our off the ball movement and positioning is still very poor hence why they have created so many opportunities. Every time they attack, they have acres of space to run into. No-one is tracking them or shutting down the space.

    Our lack of height worries me because they are putting in a lot of crosses into the box. We've dealt with it so far, but they're going to carry on.
    Elneny is a tidy passer and has an impressive work rate, but he is far too lightweight. Been bullied off the ball effortlessly.

    Not for the first time, we are looking very vulnerable to long passes into their forwards. Robson Kanu and Rodriguez have been stretching our defence more often than not.

    On the plus side, we've looked good going forward and we are capable of creating chances in abundance, but West Brom can count themselves unlucky to be heading into the break losing.

    We look pretty poor defensively, not sure how we havnt conceded. Have to say that every time WBA run it down field, we look shaky.

    Having said that. 1-0 to us, so cant complain.

    Reckon we should drop down Ramsey into the middle and bring Ozil on.

    Alternatively, get Wilshere instead of Xhaka.

    We got a penalty awarded! Lacazette with an ice cool finish!

    Unlucky laca, nice first touch. Hat-trick still on though.

    Xhaka should have scored.

    Decent win.

    Showed a few dodgy defensive moments.

    The two Summer signings looking good though.
