In this week's UCL preview I went graphics mad on Arsenal's left eight. Or should that be left six? Games like Olympiacos will tell us how much of the midfield change (which Rice delivered excellently) is borne out of need vs. desire. cbssports.com/soccer/news/ch…

This has been an improved big game for Gyokeres (no shots against Man Utd, Liverpool or Man City) but the next step has to be learning that you don't have the time to take a shot in the Premier League that you do against most Portuguese teams.

Mistakes like Gabriel's are the sort you make when you let yourself get riled up by factors outside your control. Can understand how Arsenal have got in that headspace but they've got to get out of it. They've been better than Newcastle by a good margin.
