Ray McHale mark two. I thought Palmer played well and was surprised he was taken off, but Kane looks the part in dropping back in front of the defence and controlling play from there. Another excellent debut and i would think that he will also improve with match-sharpness as well. Palmer, Brittain and Kane all excellent for me tonight. Andersen and Helik never looked as though they were going to be bullied either. I wanted us to get the ball out to Oduor more, as he seemed to be in acres of space once Collins was sent off.
Played too deep when he came on . For me Mowatt should have dropped back and he should have played behind the front men . One thing I’ve learned from this game we need a coach ASAP .
I agreed until the bit about Oduor everytime he got the ball in a danger area he found a striped shirt.
There was a rumour that Kanu was well into his 30's when he signed for arsenal. Apparently it was rife in the youth teams of the African nations.
When he signed I thought he would be the most forward of our CM, not the hod carrier picking it up at the back. Mowatt (and James) will be doing that.
I don't think they were either but the ref gave them both so quickly so it was a surprise he didn't lose patience and show yellow.
