PL: Cardiff vs Arsenal | September 2nd | KO: 1:30 BST | Sky Sports

[Giroud12]

Lacazette MOTM - no doubt!

So far easily the best performance of any player under Emery. Worked so hard all game, a fantastic goal and an assist - what a player.

Life must be so so hard for the Laca haters on here right about now

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Cech - 3

Next time watch with your glasses on!

 

[Stannis]

From now on please.

Ill echo others in saying that midfield remains our biggest issue. Torreira has to start, thats obvious. Who partners him less so.


--------------Lacca
Auba ------ Özil -------- Ramsey/Mhk
-----SideshowBob---- Torreira
Nacho --- Sokratis - Mustafi - Hector
------------ Leno

 

[krengon]

Can't believe we won, reckon Cardiff must be the worst team we'll face all season.

Definitely, a better team would have punished us today, just as vs West ham.. I refuse to believe we'll look this bad after the intl break too.

 

[Notorious Big]

AWAY WINNNNNN

Holding back tears here

 

[berric]

Toreirra has a Kante-like impact.

 

[Trilly]

Two wins against teams we should have beat. A close loss away to Chelsea which could have gone any way and a nailed on defeat against City.

It’s not terrible, it definitely doesn’t look nice on the pitch but so far so good.

 

[A_G]

A little more clinical at Chelsea and this team would be 6th, just 3 points off Liverpool. Not bad considering how disjointed they’ve looked at times.

Next time watch with your glasses on!

I don't use glasses.

 

[Ricardinho]

Positives:
- rare away win
- win before international break
- laca and auba both scoring
- Torreira performance when he came on

Negatives:
- two soft goals against a team that hadn't scored before today
- xhakas brain dead moments
- still looking very shaky at the back

 

[Raicore]

Defence was symbolic but hey we won!! Yey

 

[Giroud12]

Cech - 3
Bellerin - 6
Mustafi - 6
Sokratis - 5
Monreal - 5
Xhaka - 3
Dozy - 5
Ramsey - 7
Aubameyang - 5
Özil - 6
Lacazette - 7

Lacazette 7? Did you even watch the game?

 

[Beksl]

We would draw or lose that game under Wenger!

Great win, we need to build the momentum and push on!

 

[Fewtch]

Torreira-Matteo
Mesut
Mkhi Laca Auba​

I wonder how long it’s going to take Unai to realize that this is our best midfield/attack if he’s going to persist with 4231

 

[Gooner Zig]

Our defence is so ****

Allowing Cardiff to score two joke goals

 

[Kroket]

Happy enough with six points but was hoping we'd look a bit better than we have so far.

Torreira and Lacazette absolutely must start at Newcastle and I'd say the same probably goes for Leno and Mkhi.

 

[KrissKringle]

Sky gave it to him

Deserved. Assisted Auba's goal, was doing defensive work and scored a cannon himself.

 

[Jae]

Ramsey - 0

You're becoming a parody of yourself now mate.

 

[Toby]

If he isn't benched after this performance you either have to question Emery or Leno is a dud..

Leno being a dud is disproven by his overall solid to very good Bundesliga years. You can go and watch his 233 games for Leverkusen, and while you will see some dodgy performances and horrendous mistakes - as with any goalkeeper - you will find he's not an inch worse than Cech.

If Cech continues to start games it is on Emery.

 

[Giroud12]

Defensively were **** no doubt but lets just enjoy this win for a moment - and remember, the next episode of the José show is about to start
