Substitutes

8.5. MAN OF THE MATCH. Behold, the mighty tank. Everything changed when he came on for Holding. Everything. It was kick-started by his thumping goal to equalize just into the second half and it got better from there. He was such a weapon on that flank and he simply does not give the ball up. He could be seen shoving Koln players away from his possession, which is such a wonderful thing to see. This man should never be sat. Ever.. CAM SUB. Arsenal. SEAD KOLASINAC

Okay, so it wasn’t so great. He looked a bit out of his element as he tried to fit into the flow of the game and it just wasn’t happening. There’s time though. Ideally, he’ll start next midweek match.. CAM SUB. Arsenal. JACK WILSHERE. 6.3

6.0. Didn’t have time to do anything. Why he was a last minute sub, I have no idea, but I’m still pissy about it, even despite the win. Gotta get him out on the pitch with more time.. CAM SUB. Arsenal. REISS NELSON
