Xhaka was fantastic again but he’s not popular enough to say it.

 

[Taneruit]

Also Xhaka trolling Leeds gave me a laugh. One big smile after every won freekick.

 

[Camron]

Arteta shouted at them during half time.

My manager.

 

[Ewarwoowar]

Fvck you very much to the commentators who were fricking filth, 1-0 'til the end makes the win all the more sweeter as the last flickers of hope lingered on to the end.

Troller got trolled

"Play with purpose"

I like that philosophy...

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Much much better second half performance.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Leeds are better than quite a few PL clubs in a one off btw, easily.

Yes they are quite good playing good stuff would be surprised if Leeds are not in PL next season

 

[Trilly]

Nelson saying that we didn’t respect what Arteta told us about Leeds and that he gave them the hairdryer treatment at half time.

They listened to him and they won the game. That’s going to build the trust and respect they have for him.

 

[ChefMan21]

Job done! Why didn't we start like that in the first half?

This is the thing that Arteta will need to work hard to change: habits. Emery never had us pressing like Arteta wants us to, and so they still have a tendency to sit back sometimes. It's not a jab at Emery, it's more a 'here's style x and here's style y'.

What did Arteta wear today?

Black, maybe some blue. A symphony of deep mood.

 

[Mo Britain]

Just won £398 for a £100 steak on Arsenal/Inter win..

loving life

Wow! That must have been a wagyu steak!

 

[OnlyOne]

Don't think Arteta has said anything I disagree with yet...

 

[Generic to the extreme]

Nelson totally f**ked up his shot in his goal but hopefully this give him full confidence

When you are literally that close to the keeper that you are kicking the goalkeepers gloves, and you have to be really careful not to create a free kick instead, how do you make that look not scruffy?

 

[Jasard]

Good result. Very well drilled Leeds side and a dodgy Arsenal lineup.

 

[MutableEarth]

Nelson saying that we didn’t respect what Arteta told us about Leeds and that he gave them the hairdryer treatment at half time.

They listened to him and they won the game. That’s going to build the trust and respect they have for him.

Yeah you could see they didnt expect the onslaught.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Keep the beard Arteta. Looking amazing.

 

[Hleb's Sirush]

I'm most pleased about the 2nd clean sheet in a row. Once we become harder to score against we will pick up loads of points even on days we not playing that well.

 

[Makingtrax]

Holding was woeful with his passing.

 

[Manberg]

Mic lady “What did Arteta say at half time?”

Laca: “He shouts a lot. He knew Leeds would play like that but we didn’t listen”

First of all that’s why you should listen to the manager. Respect the manager.

 

[James Bond]

Arteta looks really relieved

This was a huge test and I'm sure Arteta really wanted to win this game. He did well to up the intensity of the players and shut down the Leeds midfield in the 2nd. Great win IMO.

Leeds will do well next season if they hold on and make PL next year. Super happy for Reiss aswell.

Arteta said in a past interview he likes to see how they respond when they suffer as he wants to see them suffer together but still stay as a ‘team’ and well he got 45min worth in the first half lol. Surely he’s not just relieved, but extremely proud of how his players got up and dusted themselves off and came through with the win in the end.
