Being played by Arsenal and being cut to shreds time and time again by Leicester, three Arsenal players booked for cynical fouls stopping Leicester from going one on one.
Leicester playing a traditional four at the back and looking comfortable after 30 mins
Thread should say three at the back
Arsenal are currently 3-1 up.
71% possession to 29%.
17 shots to 6.
5 attempts on target to 2.
6 corners to 4.
I'm not watching but it looks like someone's definitely getting cut to threads.
It’s the Ozil show. When he plays with the awesome brilliance shown tonight nothing and nobody can handle him
Classic game of two halves. Leicester should have have gone in at half time at least a couple of goals up. Ref missed a blatant handball. Totally different game in second where Arsenal moved up through the gears. Still not convinced about this Arsenal team even though they are on a good run at the moment. Look very good going forward with pace but always look vulnerable at the back.

I despair of managers who want to play Barca football with black country tryers. Play to your strengths & find a system to suit players you have
