This game was as easy as any game I've seen us have. Newcastle were not interested at all and make no mistake we need to play far better if we want to get to the final of the Europa league.
Arteta has to start Martinelli every game from now on.
Ryan- Good handling and read the game well. Not really troubled-6
Bellerin- Got forward well and made some good runs. Not troubled defensively-6
Luiz- Good pass to Bellerin and made a few other good passes. His injury is a big shame as we needed him for the Villarreal game-6
Gabirel- He's our quickest CB and played well. Has to start from now on-6
Xhaka- Recovered well from the early booking and controlled the game from LB-7
Elneny- Good strike for the goal and could have had another but this was another game he refused to pass forward-6
Ceballos- Good work rate but gave the ball away too often and didnt create anything-5
Willian- I forgot he was playing. Didn't add anything to the team. Gave the ball away too often and was a hindrance to the team again-3
Odegaard- Didn't create anything and slowed the game down too often. Isn't as sharp as he was a few weeks back-5
Martinelli- Livewire. Pace, skill, dribbling and creative. Has to start on Thursday if he's fit. MOTM-8
Auba- Not involve much but done very well for his goal-6
Subs:
Chambers- Slotted in well and looks more suited to playing there-6
Pepe loves the UEFA Cup, all his best performances are there

Boston Gooner Martinelli MOTM
Doubt Arteta will start him midweek after 90 minutes today.
We need him to play.
Odegaard so poor.
Willian even poor in this easy game but better than Pepe when he came on.
Luiz will be a big miss for us.
Has Pepe f.ucked your wife or something?
I often wonder this. Boston Gooner disses Pepe in like half of his match comments whenever he's playing.
Surprising as the guy has been one of our best performers for a while now.
Just give it a rest mate, no one wants to read about your hatred for certain players, it's boring.
''No one saw me coming - No problem. I always believed.
Kept working, found my killer instinct. Relentless? Yes. Patient? Always. Quick? You'll see.
I am Nico and I am here''

First of all I don't hate him.
I'll write about what I want.
If you don't like it tough shite.
I hope he scores winning goal in Europa final if we get there.
But that will not stop me from thinking he's pretty shite.
He canโt take his place. Not good enough and too small
I like that Martinelli kept going on the outside of the fullback onto his weaker foot, something Pepe doesnโt do often enough. That will open up future games for him
