I really like the look of Ceballos. The type of player we need in our midfield. Someone who dictates the tempo in there, simple passes. Our midfield is full of players who panic in the ball.

Exactly. I don’t know if it’s cause he’s on loan, but it’s such a showy style of play. Never takes a touch and plays the quick pass when it’s the right thing to do.
Nah he was the exact same at Real, it’s the way he does things. It can be great when it all goes right but oh man is it frustrating to watch when his team is struggling.

He is a weird player he seems to flatter to deceive, however he does have a lot of talent

He was too relaxed there!

We'll 100% lose at Sheff United too. They defend deep and are very well coached and drilled.

Can't quite put my finger on why but Dani Ceballos has a strangely shaped head.

I thought Norwood was one of those players that would always be a bit chubby . He looks a lot fitter than I would have expected.. Has had a decent career as well..

Good for him.

GOD Sokratis' playacting in the box is annoying. Every single corner he throws his hands in the air trying to get a penalty. I have seen it at least five times tonight.

Ljunberg booked for dissent apparently - many years overdue, but still...

Sheffield United v Arsenal reminds me of United v Liverpool yesterday. Arsenal like Liverpool with most of the ball and more shots on goal but Sheff United like Man United yesterday grabbed the lead and then controlled the game with and without the ball where they and United yesterday ever look like conceding. The reason why Sheffield United won 1-0 and Man United drew 1-1 is because they don't have defenders a poor as Rojo,Young to gift a silly goal.

Well deserved Sheffield. Dug deep and relegated their opponents to hopeful crosses, which they dealt with.

Conflicted. Love to see Arsenal lose, but it puts Sheffield United above us in the race for top half.

If we sacked Poch we would make top 4 but we’re going to wait until it’s almost impossible. Frustrating.

Funny how little impact the marquee signing Pepe has had on the PL compared to Daniel James.

Said it over and over in the summer but Arsenal did not have a good window despite everyone fawning over their signings.

Said Pepe was a massive risk and it's looking that way...
