FT: Arsenal 3-0 Lille
Arsenal winger Eberechi Eze speaking to TNT Sports:
“Good performance. We did what we needed to do. Played free and enjoyed it.”
On staying patient: “That can happen here. A lot of teams come with energy so first halves can be difficult but we know that we have to grind teams down eventually. It was a good day.
“It’s good fun. The type of players we’re playing with you’re always linking and finding space. It’s enjoyable and as long as I’m doing that then I’m happy.”
On squad depth: “It is difficult, every player wants to play. The mentality is always to be on the pitch, affect games and earn your place. I’m doing what I can, enjoying what I’m doing.
“Always happy to score, to affect games and be having fun on the pitch and expressing myself.”
On half-time team talk: “We knew what we were doing, there were slight details to give us more chances and have more balls inside their box.
“We trust and back ourselves, we know our quality. We play games to win and believe we can and should. It’s about the work we’ve done on the pitch.”
On mentality shift from last season: “It’s now a different challenge we have. We achieved something amazing last season and we want to build on that. We’re coming at it at a slightly different angle but the mentality is still the same – to be ruthless and dominate as much as we can.”
