Longstaff certainly isn’t ready for a big club.
Definitely some changes. They try and play it more out from the back than they did late-era Wenger and I'd say they have significantly more 'bite' in midfield, especially when Torreira is available. They're also a higher pressing team than they were under Wenger, where a lot of the time it was mostly passive possession play.
Otherwise, at the end of the day we're still seeing a mostly Wenger side. You can see the signs of how Emery wants his team to play but they haven't always got the personnel to pull it off, particularly when they're missing so many players like they are today. Think we'll start to see Emery's vision take a more solid shape when the new signings come in, players that he himself has picked out for his style. Guys like Tierney and Luiz in particular will really help them building from the back.
He's a good player at Newcastle's level. He never really cut it at Liverpool and wouldn't make the leap to a side aiming at top 4.
Very poor. Sloppy passing. Seems to be playing in a slightly more advanced position.
Actually been very sloppy on the ball.
Should prove himself at a Europa League side like Man United before he makes the step up to a really good team.
Waaay! Bants!
He looks out of his depth. At home. Against a second string Arsenal. The cheek of Newcastle.
This match is dead fam.
This is the worst side of football. Two fixtures with relatively attacking teams, both 0-0 at half time.
Dodged a £30m gold-plated bullet there?
Dogshit half of football
Jesus I forgot about him too. Remember a couple of years back when people were saying he's the best rb in the league hahah
Looks like a player coming off an injury and thrown into a game against a top 6 side to be fair to him.
Very flat indeed. Game badly needs a goal
What a terrible terrible game.
Nodding off here.
Prick
Awful game so far. The fans hated Wenger but at least he played good football.
Mkhitaryan has been utterly hopeless.
Bringing in Sanchez was a terrible idea but getting rid of him early wasn't.

ZzZZzzz
Geordie fans are very quiet.
I don't think I've heard Longstaff's name more than once in 45 mins.
Kid doing tip top passing just for Targaryan to shit all over it.
Oh my god Jota just had the absolute funniest run I've seen in a while.
Miki's passing is dogshite
You've obviously never met one.
Longstaff has been awful.
Newcastle Vs Arsenal has been a poor game. The amount of cheap turnovers in midfield has been shocking. With the quality Arsenal have they should, eventually, stop making silly mistakes and capitalise on Newcastle's. So far it's been fire though.
PS) Longstaff doesn't look a £50m player right now

Bring on pepw
Ouch, truth hurts
Two absolutely shite matches. Jota falling over the ball when a defender came near him was the most exciting thing so far.
As soon as I posted that comment I clicked back to Sky Go and he gave the ball away
Cursed him.
Did notice as you said @IrishRedDevil that he's not the deepest player, Shelvey seems to be the one coming to get the ball from the defenders.
You fe&%#$ son of a,that was funny, made my chuckle, cheers
Bit of a a borefest at the king power so far little chances on either side. Hopefully a better second half coming up.
England youth captain throughout the ranks. Made his PL debut at 16.Who?

How is Longstaff doing?
Well now, that is what I would like to watch, not the unemployed one.RvP in Noggie studio
Arsenal are shite. Think it'll be the same as last year and it'll be a case of one of us, them and Chelsea stumbling their way into top four.
They miss Torreira who gives them a bit more bite in midfield. Right now they are being a bit passive. Also, just very bizzare that none of their new signings are playing.
