Looks like we didn´t play well but in spite of the fact we won the game and that´s the most important thing. Didn´t believe we could win there when I saw the line-up, but Wenger knows more than me, apparently !

So glad Djourou had a good game, but ****y games from Ramsey and Walcott, that´s worrying, well can´t wait to see Rozza, Nasri and Cesc back. The home game will not be hard I guess.

We were very poor yesterday but it really doesn't matter at all. Last season we started August slowly but used the results to push on while some of the others were playing worse than us and falling behind. If we struggle past West Brom and Fulham but get the win we should be deilghted and wait for the better results.

And you can't really expect much of an attack with such a non-creative midfield behind two strikers who aren't really 'match-fit'.

Arnautovic ruled out of return leg because of a hamstring injury. With N'Kufo still suspended McClaren might try himself up front.

Why risk our most important player when it's not needed?

He's been out for a while - maybe he needs the match sharpness?

Don't think it's that important for a quality player like Cesc. Remember Twente were pretty physical last match. No need for taking any risks.

He needs a run out though. I'd give him a half anyway
