But what they did was when they did have the counterattacks, when they did win the ball back and when they did play it forward, they did it with intensity.

They did it with quality.

And what you saw was the skill of Ine Juni.

You saw the skill of Mbappe, which we know they've both got.

and you saw more forward runs from Jude Bellingham, who was better today than he was in midweek, on the weekend.

And the likes of Kamavinga looked as though he played with more confidence.

It was a much better performance, but had Monaco been a better side and been better defensively, it could have been a different story.

Well, if a player is playing well and he's working hard, he needs to get the love off the other players and off the crowd.

If he's not playing well and he's not working hard enough and he's sniping to the chairman about the manager, then he shouldn't get any love.

And the crowd were right to boo him because he's part of the reason that Alonso probably didn't succeed.

But if he starts playing well again and he starts showing the right side of his game and he works hard and he closes people down, as Ali just said, which they did in the second half, then the crowd will get behind him.

It doesn't take much to win the crowd over when you're a good player.

Yeah.

It certainly would be if I was an Arsenal fan.

I'm not suggesting you were.

Oh, God, I know you hate everyone.

What I would...

What I would say is that the good thing about Arsenal today, they had changes in the side, but what they showed a lot today I thought was resilience because they didn't have it all their own way.

When you look at the stats, I think it was even amount of shots.

But Thuram and Lauro Martinez were excellent today with their back to goal.
