PL: Arsenal v Chelsea | January 19, 2019 17:30 GMT | BT Sport

Perfect match, or it would have been had it not been for Bellerin's injury. I would have confidently said that this is a match we can hang the rest of our season on, but that looked like a season-ending one for Hector. We're so reliant on fullbacks, I just can't envisage AMN or Lichtsteiner being able to adequately cover.

I mean I know we're specialists in injuries, it's pretty much the one constant of this club. But have we ever had three season-ending injuries in one season?

 

[Notorious Big]

Our away form has been truly awful. Chelsea still have every chance of finishing above us.

They have Liverpool,City and United away

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Proud of the performance and the result. Sadly I'm still not confident we'll get top 4.

I am not confident either, but tonight was a solid performance. It gives hope...

Delighted West Ham lost today. Their supporters convinced themselves their squad was on par with ours .

Felipe Anderson is the only player who’d get in our team.

**** West Ham. **** Danny Dyer. **** big Dom. And finally, (I’d love to) **** Mia Khalifa.

 

[CaseUteinberger]

Nice win and a clean sheet. Really liked how Kos-Sok played together. Really nice to keep Chelsea from really creating anything besides hitting the post. Was nice to see the whole team work hard throughout. We really needed this win. Top 4 is still in it for us. Man U are on a roll, but they have their weaknesses. They will also run in to a poor stretch sooner or later.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Sp**s are within range now too...

Only if Fulham beat them tomorrow. Chambers needs to step up.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Hazard is ****.

laughable.

Love or hate him, Hazard is world class. Top 3 in the world in terms of ball retention.

 

[razörist]

Clean sheet btw!!!!! Crazy!

 

[Ind0Gunnerz]

Our owner will convince Emery to use Jenkinson instead rather than giving cash for a new RB

 

[Makingtrax]

Our defence so much better without Mustafi or Lichsteiner. Sokratis alongside Kos was calmer and played well.

Also the midfield was so much better with the three working together.

 

[Manberg]

Let's not get carried away. Koscielny and Sokratis are both decent CB's but if we want to challenge they ought to be backup at best and we need to upgrade on both.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Kos MOTM. He's so happy to get the award. Here's a player who loves the club and plays for the badge. Lovely.

Only if Fulham beat them tomorrow. Chambers needs to step up.

With Harry Kane out for so long and no Son I can see most of their games being potential slip ups, just need to keep it under 6 point gap until we face them. Might be too optimistic though lol

I forgot about him. Now i feel even worse.

 

[NieThePiet]

Wished we would have never tried this back 3 nonsense - especially with these injuries at defense.

I'm pretty sure we would be at least equal on points with Chelsea.

I was really happy when I saw Mustafi on the bench. I feared he was seen as 1st choice even with Kos back

 

[Jury]

Kos MOTM. He's so happy to get the award. Here's a player who loves the club and plays for the badge. Lovely.

He always looks so ridiculously surprised and ecstatic when he scores, as if he scores once every ten years. You have to love that. This is something he can build on hopefully. He looked very mobile and no different from what he was tbh.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Very concerned with Bellerin. We're in deep trouble if we have to rely on AMN or Lichtsteiner. We're ****ed if it is an ACL injury....

 

[field442]

Hopefully Emery realises that it wasn't the defense that was the issue, just the people in it.

played 442 diamond today worked a treat in the first half. It was important we started with Lacazette and Auba in the team.

Xhaka wasn't great at the based of the diamond, still terrible under pressure. but put in a good defensive shift.

Kos was immense, warrior! Motm. Sokartis what a figher! both guys didn't put a foot wrong. let's hope both stay fit, can't have mustafi near the starting 11.

Kola looks like he's lost a bit of weight, looked rapid!

Ramsey really helped with the press in the first half. his all round play was bang average but can't deny his workrate. Özil take note.
