I'm giving this a 3.5/5 purely on entertainment value because this match was bonkers. Just looking at our formation, I doubt you'll ever see a more bizarre Arteta starting XI than this (3-4-2-1 with Martinelli and Madueke wingbacks, Havertz in holding midfield, two 16 year olds in the line-up) You'd never think Mansfield were in the bottom half of League One by the way they played us, but they were in all honesty very well drilled and came to play. We were all over the place both in and out of possession, but the gap in technical quality was so big that you never knew if we were going to run away with this 4-0 or get hit in transition and concede a couple. A game marred by individual mistakes, especially in our own defensive third, but which we managed to eek out despite a valiant home team effort. Our most dangerous play came on our right hand side via Dowman and Madueke, with Norgaard putting in a solid shift too. Jesus looked a bit useless and I didn't fancy Havertz either.
