    What's up with Brandon Mason?

    I was split on Camwell, thought his delivery (and performance in general) was excellent first half and 2nd half everything was too close to the keeper and his performance dropped off culminating in the 3rd goal. Assumed it was just down to tiredness.

    It's still not very well documented. For example it says: Please note: Checkatrade Trophy matches are now available on iFollow, but there will be no Carabao Cup or FA Cup matches available to watch on the service But then when you check the exclusions it lists the next two Checkatrade games...

    Checkatrade is shown on iFollow this year. Back for the Sunderland game though!

    Flattered to deceive for me, like Thomas has in the league. Absolutely no end product where it counted apart from the one time he nearly slipped Hiwula clean through. He'd beat a couple of players on his wing and then all momentum would be lost when he'd have to cut back onto his right foot to...

    I thought Andreu played alright, worked hard, some nice touches and movement. Allassani didn't get beyond Bakayoko all game though as he wants the ball deep and to run at players, Hiwula only got beyond once or twice and looked stifled at RM and both Kelly and Ogogo are DMs. When Andreu get's...

    Dave Bennett has not stopped chipping away all game at how the Arsenal player names all sound foreign despite being told after about 10 minutes that 9 of their 11 are British. Embarrassing to listen to.

    Kelly off for Westbrooke, probably just edged ahead of Camwell in the 2nd half for MoM for me.

    Andreu can't play behind a target man, he's constantly looking to play a ball in behind for a striker like Chaplin or Hiwula.

    Arsenal's back 4 look super comfortable on the ball but they haven't looked at all organised as a defence. A little bit of quality around the box and we should score plenty here.

    Not very pleased with the intensity so far. Only Kelly and Camwell that look like they are playing with urgency. Most of this team should be trying to prove they're worthy of a start on Saturday.

    I was secretly hoping for Andreu to play behind Hiwula tonight, just to have a look at how he would play behind a more dynamic striker, or even a front 2.

    Offal makes it sound like 4-4-2 by using the word flanks but I guess we won't see for sure til they start: Elsewhere, Liam O'Brien starts in goal and he has a back four of Dujon Sterling, Tom Davies, Jordon Thompson and Chris Camwell. Abu Ogogo captains the side and partners Liam Kelly in the...

    Arsenal team with ages: Iliev 23, Bola 18, Burton 18, Gilmour 18, Medley 18, Olowu 18, Pleguezuelo 21, Smith Rowe 18, Willock 19, John-Jules 17, Olayinka 22. More like an U18 than U21s

    Looking forward to seeing Ogogo and Kelly in the middle but not expecting too much from Kelly considering it's his first game since May.

    Harsh on Strachan, i thought he was superb still in the few games he played for us (although I was a teenager still so maybe dreaming). I'd have Keith o'Neill in there over him. Dean Holdsworth on the bench for the 'has beens' Maybe Aron Gunnarsson for the better things 11?
