Only just seen the highlights as I had to listen on Talksport, which is a real chore. Stuart Pearce is a real PIA, great player but equally bad pundit.
Koscielny looked like he was having all his birthdays on one day. his face after that goal.
Looking like that may be Bellerin's season over and just after coming back. His pass to Lacazette, half the length of the pitch to lay on that first Abua chance was inch perfect. We'll really miss him.
Ramsey? Financial and positional reasons. I don't think he fits in comfortably with how Emery wants to play and due to mismanagement of contracts we can't afford him. Or anybody else it seems.

Rob & Snaps, don't shoot the messager...
'Sarri has turned them into Arsenal': Jamie Carragher berates Chelsea after embarrassing first half performance against Manchester City Chelsea fans were left wanting to restart the match after watching their team go 4-0 down against Manchester City after just 25 minutes.
During half time on Sky Sports, pundit Jamie Carragher put a lot of the blame on manager Maurizio Sarri.
'The worst thing I can say is it looks like he’s turned Chelsea into Arsenal,' he said, likening him to the old 'weak' Arsenal team.
'I called a couple of Chelsea performances a disgrace going into this game, this is as bad as anything,' he said.
'Looking at Sarri, just over halfway through his first season, but the worst thing I can say is it looks like he's turned Chelsea into Arsenal.
'That Arsenal team that just used to get battered for the last seven or eight years away from home in big games because they were too weak.'
Raheem Sterling opened the scoring for the visitors after just four minutes before Sergio Aguero added two more shortly after. Ilkay Gundogan piled even more misery on Chelsea in the 25th minute.
Carragher called Marcos Alonso's defending 'criminal' for the first goal, while he and fellow pundit Graeme Souness believe that Chelsea keeper Kepa Arrizabalaga should've been able to keep out a couple of the goals.
The second half didn't get much better for Chelsea, with Aguero scoring a penalty and completing his hat-trick after 56 minutes. Sterling then doubled his own tally 10 minutes from time.
'You could never say that about Chelsea, no matter what's gone on, that they've been "weak,"' said Carragher. 'We're watching a really weak football team here.'
