We are passing around in our own half, while they easily play up the pitch to put us under pressure.
I'm nervous as hell watching us play it out from the back
The entire team look a bundle of nerves here. Need to settle down and keep the ball.
Christ only one team in it at the min
I'd put that goal on Rice. Timber had your man covered, and Rice left the space open to go in and double team him.
We are all at sea here, need to get a foothold in the game
70% pass accuracy just sums it up
Far too much back passing.
Nervy nervy it's hard watching
This is hard watching, so many players look nervous, haven't settled in to the game at all
Jesus, even made a complete mess of clearing that after it came back off the post. This is dogshít.
Feels like we need half time, which says it all really. Bit of a disaster so far.
Tenner bets Wenger gave an inspirational talk in the dressing room...
Rice needs to take over free kicks.
Odegaard took a half hour to take the free kick and then hit the first man.
Partey is an absolutely huge miss here. We can’t keep the ball at all and that’s basically his superpower. What a stupid fcking booking that was at the Bernabeu.

Does every commentator want us beaten? Seems so.
Stupid as f*ck yellow for Saka for kicking the ball away. Last thing we need is for him to see red
Never a foul by Saka. Ridiculous.
oh Lordy , what a chance that was
Well better end to the half anyway.
I don't know how Timber wasn't booked and he was lucky that penalty wasn't given. Yes yer man went down easy but he basically tried to rugby tackle him, it would not have been overturned if it was given.
Saka understandably frustrated at that terrible decision with the linesman being right next to them, but stupid to kick it away like that. About a minute later he had to pull out of a tackle because of it.
Disappointing first half. Not sure if it is nerves, or just the shear pace of PSG (where was that 6 months ago?)
Hopefully we start the second half how we finished the first.
We're still well in this. Need to keep the heads and impose our game on them. Awful nervy start.
We need a big second half. I’m hoping Odegaard can reclaim some form and grab this game by the scruff of the neck.
Getting into it a little bit towards the end of the half. Oh man i hate seeing it go back to Raya, we're far too casual at the back for my liking. Just need to keep pressing, ive a feeling Martinelli was just off there at the end but a well worked move all the same. Such a horrible nervous energy amongst the players tonight
One other thing, seems every time they run at us we get caught flatfooted, they have miles more pace it appears
This ref seems quite annoying!
Someone is going to read Timber turning and going backwards with the pass. Always doing it.
Yeah, the last few minutes showed a bit of grit, but we were definitely second best out there
