It does seem to be a 4-3-3, Jim.
Yeah, and the two white players up front can make the system pretty much succeed or fail.
They'll be quite flexible in their creative movement.
They like to drift in. At times, they'll mix their game up and keep their width.
And of course, they're also expected to track any runs from opposition fullbacks.
So they've got quite hard-working jobs.
But if they can gain a one-on-one advantage, they can dictate.
There's the whistle, and here we go.
Who do you think this turns on, Jim?
The defensive qualities of William Saliba.
For me, Peter, he's someone who's shown great leadership from such a young age when starting his career in France.
I see a lot of bravery and courage.
And I think they're words you associate with somebody who is very good in both boxes.
No argument for me on that front.
It's easy to see how his presence alone affects both sides.
Yeah, that does look a foul.
Referee's given a free kick.
It's run loose here.
Marino, out to the right.
Climbs up big!
That'll be even more of a TSV going wide, appreciably more than they had been.
Yeah, they're just making more of the increased time.
Ah, looks a foul.
Yeah, referee's given it.
This is actually quite a courageous move.
And, my lad, ambitious and adventurous too.
He's trying to skip past this man.
Aiming towards the centre.
Timber.
And it's Sturling.
Oh, good ball!
Oh, good ball.
And the finish!
Arsenal!
That was a given, it always was.
Well, the finish looked a guarantee once he was found all alone.
And it's criminal defending.
Arsenal break the deadlock.
Still a fragile lead though.
They can't afford to sit on this.
Chausa.
Marino.
Hits one!
And he's there to make a great save.
Chausa.
Marino.
Oh, what a ball he's in here!
Real chance!
Quick time!
Yeah, they've only got themselves to blame.
Mistakes in those areas are very punishable.
Arsenal can have a couple of goals without reply.
It's 2-0.
We're looking at a very different game now.
The command has been established.
Looks to the other side.
For a moment you felt that was going somewhere, but they'll have to go again.
Well played right into his path.
He's having a shot!
Oh, and with that the halftime whistle goes.
Fantastic excitement towards the end of the half there.
And a last minute chance that really should have been converted.
Any strong opinions on the first half?
Well, it's looking pretty straightforward, Peter.
They've got themselves into a very good position.
So why dither from here when they can repeat their first half success with another show of strength?
Arsenal ahead 2-0.
And they are looking good.
Already up and running for the second half.
Chaucer.
Oh, shooting chance!
Well, even for him, that may have been a touch ambitious.
Karstorp.
Lozano.
Thiel.
Spread out to the left.
Mikel Merino.
He's hearing after that one.
Oh, that's a key interception.
It's pretty clear that the defence have decided
that the greatest threat to them at the moment, Peter,
are people trying to just run at them.
Run at them?
And I suppose be on them, too.
Yeah, particularly late runners into the...
Shot at goal!
Merckx simply didn't do anything wrong.
He was thwarted by brilliance.
PSV can make their change now with a break in play.
Well, you have to feel a little for the player being taken off here.
I think he's been made the scapegoat after that,
but I guess something had to be done.
I suppose it did need a little change.
Karstorp is there to heave it away.
Karstorp with corner number two there.
Massively!
Or perhaps momentary.
And it's Sterling.
Sterling!
It's run loose.
Who's going to get there?
He's in, surely!
And he's had a hit.
Troublesome.
Benitez.
Hunter upfield.
Now it's Till.
