It was a tough game to start a new season, but we can take positives from the game like xhaka is definitely shyte, ramsey as ed25 stated in the post below should be warming the bench, and I really think we should start we Lacca and Auba.
Also Lichtsteiner should start instead of bellerin.
But liking the new kid
Good positives tho.

Moe, Gouendouzi is raw, he needs help, xhaka is no role model or mentor. Maybe him and torreira going forward can become the new central mid. Definitely not as flakey or untalented, like xhaka or al ninny. Bellerin looks so weak and lich needs to replace him pronto. The forward line needs a direction, it has bags of potential but looks out of balance. Myki or ozil need dropping lacca and auba needs to form a relationship.

I agree. Early days and a baptism of fire. We still asked a few questions, looked better when Torreira was on. Goudenuzi looked good at times and a 19 year old the rest. Lichtsteiner looked seasoned like a good bit of oak. You know what you get! Experienced athlete. Sokratis looked poor and cumbersome next to mustafi . Cech had a good game. It will come it wasn’t awful . Home defeat an all but a start against the best side in England.

The biggest positive for me Moe is today was a very tough start for Emery apposed to extention of a tough decade under Arsene.
I really don't mean that disrespectfuly towards Arsene but at least we have every reason to hope for real improvement in the coming months and years now as apposed to simply thinking here we go again.

Agree 100% with you steve, he is definitely not a finished product but.
62 mate, having that sub change in the 54th min means there something different happening 😂.
I think Xhaka failed in his position today, actually he failed the whole game today.
But I liked Torreira’s energy.

Moe, the kid is strong and has great ability, tackles holds the ball and passes. For us to get the best out of him, he needs help from a central mid partner, who won't leave him exposed. He has got to learn from his mistakes and quick but if he does, we have a talent. If he doesnt, he and us will have to be a bit more patient with him. The problem there is we need a stronger central pair and if he and torreira can't do the job together, i don't see anyone else.

3 of the new lads were voted 2nd 3rd 4th best Arsenal players today, Lacasette was voted our best in a poll across all fans Arsenal neutral and spuds alike.
Xhaka came out best amoung Spurs fans :-)

Agree moe, only three subs allowed, otherwise Dick would have took off a few more under performers.

But. But we were meant to see a different haka! Can't blame him anyway, it's all Chambers fault.
