Martinelli Movement
Martinelli is on the far side demanding lob passes. Great to see the positions he’s finding himself in.
Odegaard+Martinelli+Lacazette nearly getting the third goal
Tomi + Martinelli is something to look out for in the future
Tavares Pace!
Tavares pace led to all those events… I wish Odegaard moved the ball a little quicker to the left… First real positive moment by us in the first half…
Tavares pace and strength down the flank to kick start the second half
It all started with that skill from Tavares which lead to some combinations between Saka ESR and others leading to the goal from Saka who came to left-wing… Arsenal like 🔥16 passes in the move
This move started from the back with Tavares and fair play to the ref who allowed the play to continue, leading to the Partey shot which he should have kept a bit low to work the Toon goalkeeper.
Wilson chance. Thanks to the strength and pace of Tavares
Odegaard lack of vision
Odegaard chose to play a tougher pass to Aubameyang when he could have spotted the run of Emile Smith Rowe who was having acres of space ahead of him to cause a dangerous crossing situation….
Ben White dictating the movements and passing to Saka
Sloppy Partey! Multiple instances…
Where Tomiyasu can improve further
If only Tomi can improve his crossing a bit, he can be too hot to handle for teams.
Newcastle utilizing the position of Tomiyasu to good effect
We need this more!
Kind of situations we must create more often than not to utilize the pace of Saka, ESR or Martinelli
ESR – Our hale end boy making Arsene proud!
Watching the drop off from ESR, and waiting for the momentum, gives you the feeling that he has worked on his shooting and positioning skills very well recently. Sign of the scoring form he is in..
ESR through ball to Aubameyang
SAKA Boy!
Saka coming to the left flank in the second half to make things happen, ultimately lead to the opening goal. A good tweak in the second half
Ben White time now..
Poor from Gabriel
First real error from Gabriel, fortunately not punished.
A slightly misplaced pass. Fortunately calmed by White.
