The difference in standards is staggering.
Remember when certain posters and mods were praising this kind of performances as some kind of tactics master class!
Man some of the posts. I would be better off stabbing my self into the eye with a knife than see that again!
Great result, but let's calm down a bit. I think it was quite an even game, if Adama could finish it may have been a different story.
Arteta has proven he can drill a side to be defensively solid, he really needs some midfielders now that can help us keep the ball higher up the pitch. That's the priority now for me.

Tactically it was the correct approach. Playing attacking football against them is exactly what Wolves want you to do. Look at man city, they got doubled by them & we don't have players anywhere near their quality. We got a goal, sat back & hit em hard on the counter, just the wolves do it themselves

Don’t understand any criticism of Arteta for this performance. We played in a way that was needed. I’d rather see us play like this than have us go all out and lose by 2 goals. If we would have been more on the front foot they would have cut us open. I like that we play in a way to also nullify the opposition’s strength. They would have countered us to bits with their speed and our slow CBs.
Good decisions by Arteta!

We were less than the sum of our parts for so long
Arteta has made a real difference
I just love his approach and what he's instilling in the squad

Couldn’t agree more. It is about time that we play in a way that makes what the opponents want to do difficult.

More like Pep game by game. He’s got the best hair in the league. But I’ve just got this this feeling he’ll shave it off for next season.

Emery could have set up the exact same side today and would not have got that result.
Because the players would not have bought in, rolled there sleeves up and dug in, absorbed the pressure and recomposed themselves in the second half as they did today. Fought and scraped for the balls.
That's the difference in what appears to be excellent man management and poor man management.

This guy doesn't look like letting Kroenke hide behind him any time soon. So good to hear. Now let's see how thd board does.
10 shots, 1 on target and 3 corners today. With arguably a worse team too.The difference in standards is staggering.

If Terry hadnt slipped in 2008, they would have won their first CL, same with Gerrard slipping against Chelsea, not slipping would have brought them their first PL sooner. If Koscielny hadnt slipped in the League Cup final we would have ended our trophy drought sooner. If Henry hadnt missed the sitter we would have likely won the Champions League in 2006. These if/but moments exist in the game, so to diminish a performance based on it is foolhardy in my opinion.
We came up against a well settled side and managed them for 90+ minutes. That is completely on the team today, putting together a professional performance and it deserves all the credit its getting tonight, so no need for us to calm down at all.
Uncle Mikel, I believe.

We've allowed only 10 shots on target in the last 4 games. 2.5 per game.

He got his tactics spot on and his subs were perfect as well. Possibly his best managerial performance to date.
I looked at the starting line up and wasn't hopeful. Three calamities at the back and two pedestrian CM's. Good coaching, tactics and sheer effort from the players got us the win. With better players, we have a coach who can make us competitive again. Feels great to have him back-at the moment
