To go away, and we all laugh and go, well, Leeds is a tough place to go, but the atmosphere is what makes it tough, never mind just the opposition.

But from the very get-go, this game was dominated by Arsenal.

I think there was a little ten-minute spell at the start of the second half because he brought on Okafor and Calvert-Lewin, so he tried to make it a bit of a fight.

But you've got Gabriel and Saliba, you're not going to win a fight either.

And so this was 100% the perfect away performance from Arsenal.

And I think, by the way, one of the biggest things for Arteta, they scored two goals in open play.

Because they haven't done that for, what, two or three games in the Premier League?

So, perfect.

You've got to stick three up front.

It really isn't rocket science.

Stick three people up front and they've got to bring four back.

I think he probably underestimated that West Ham could have hurt them on the counter.

Because when you look at that team...

And if I'm alone in this, please tell me.

I don't rate Garnaccio.

I don't rate Gettins.

I don't think de Lappe's a centre-forward in the Premier League either.

And Cole Palmer was invisible today as a number 10.

And then defensively, they were a shot.

I mean, West Ham had 20% of the ball in the first half and walked in at half-time, deservedly 2-0 up.
