Make no bones about it, even with the serial mistakers, xhaka, nustaffi and luiz, that was a fantastic result. Just need to carry that on now. Well done Saka and Willock. The first defeat at home in Europe for them for 15 years and some illustrious teams humbled there too. Great stadium and atmosphere, great fans.

Martinez was amazing. Easily our best keeper on that performance.

I wouldn’t disagree Steve BUT against quality sides we could easily have conceded 12 in our last two games, giving teams that many chances is suicidal.

Agree Banbury, i'm not saying everything is all rosy again it isn't but tonight the commitment and application was there in a very hostile environment, its how we move on from tonight and progress that is the key. I didn't like the team at all that was put out but it was away in Europe and credit where credit is due. Europa form doesn't seem so scratchy like the prem away. The prem form away needs a solution.

Andy, we seem to have two very good keepers again, that's at least a base to build off. Its upto the players and staff to sort the outfield defending out.

I take full credit for Martinez performance as I sold him the Astro turf for his full size goal in his back garden (I really did) 😂.

24 shots against tonight, 31 on Sunday and even at the Emirates Burnley had 16 attempt on our goal.
Last season we became the first top 6 team ton concede more chances than we created since 2012,and this season the shots against total is absolutely off the scale completely.
It's no only not getting any better it's actually getting worse and worse as time goes on.
If Emery doesn't act soon to stop it teams will start taking more and more of the extraordinary amount opportunities we allow them and once that happens and the goals against starts to reflect the opportunity in ballance then Emery will be toast.
He needs to act quickly if he wants to save his job in my opinion.

If he's got a full size goal in his back garden then he deserves to get on, that's dedication for you.
