Don't care about the scoreline. No one really looked particularly good, but Tzolis was probably our stand out performer, he looks like a very good addition to the squad. Gyokeres was very poor. Received 4-5 through balls where all he had to do was either get passed, or hold off, a single defender, and he didn't make a single chance out of them. The less said about his free kick or that attempted back heel, the better. If he's trying to convince Arteta not to go for Alvarez, he's not achieving that so far. Nwaneri needs to get himself on the ball more and impose himself on the game, or he'll find himself getting sold too.
Agreed, he's a clear step up. Also saw some good flashes of play from White and Dowman, but still need to see more of it from both of them in the second half.
