The gap between the back 3 and midfield 2 is noticeably smaller. Not sure if that's the back 3 pushing up or the 2 dropping deeper.
Probably a bit of both. Not that Arse have been looking to go through the middle so far.
Unsurprisingly little going the other way.

How was that corner a free kick to them?
-
There’s about four penalties on that corner.
-
Looked like an elbow to Murillo’s head to me
-
He'd already blown but everyone was fouling someone in there.
-
I don't think penalties are allowed to be given against Arsenal in those circumstances because Arteta doesn't like it.
-
Odds on a Neco red card and Bruno G dive in the area for a penalty shortening by the minute.
-
Second unpunished elbow in a forest face.
-
Cynical foul to stop Delap shooting. How is Rice not booked?
-
We have been OK and Delap has been decent but we need someone closer to him.
-
Also ref needs to check the rule which says its actually OK to give Arsenal players a card
-
You can't get much closer than in his shorts, as rice just was.
-
Partridge is almost despairing at the ref.
-
In fairness they are all a bit shit, but this one feels biased shit. He clearly likes the arse.
-
It's been a bit frantic but so far so good but Delpa is isolated. I think he can get something against Konsa. The real problem is if Saka gets isolated against Neco it might end up with a second yellow.
Arsenal have not had any clear chances. At least not yet. Oodergaard is having to go deep to get the ball. It makes a big difference if he doesn't have time.
The lack of cards for Arsenal is a bit mystifiying as Oliver usually is pretty fair. (He's a Manc). So yeah, a dodgy decision in the second half will probably decide it.
0-0 so far. i just wish we were a little more aggressive further up the field with only Delap doing the bashing. Dom is putting a huge amount of work in. If only his passing was as good.
Adjustments are key. Will Glasner make any? Probably not the boring twat. i suspect Arteta will bring on Gykores when get tied. Eze has been pretty useless so far. So probably Makuele for added speed.
Who do we have on the bench that makes the difference? Woody? CHO?
Chicago: It;'s the hope that kills you.
