People emphasise the personnel but I think it's an organisational issue. It's not like we've never conceded the types of goals scored by Leicester in other fixtures with a full strength defensive lineup.

All 3 Leicester goals were easy any team would have scored from these chances specially the 2nd and the 3rd goal. If we had decent defense we could've won 4-1

It is. People are acting as if we didn't concede in exactly the same fashion time and time again last season even with a full strength team. As if being caught out by crosses or on the counter isn't a chronic problem we have.
What made me excited yesterday is our attack look damn good and we still missing Alexis we have good team just 1 midfield signing and I believe we can compete. Unless Arsène troll us and mess up the squad management
When we switched to back 3 we never conceded goals like that we were so solid defensively.

if xhaka is on song we play some lovely stuff. those first key passes from him are important in our overall play, the thing is they are very dangerous to make as a misplaced pass allows the opposite team to go straight on goal. Xhaka is the most important player in our team.

In the last 20 we had two LBs at CB, a RB at LB, a winger at RB and a helmet in goal.

Maybe because we haven't had a big enough sample space to judge its effectiveness? We've played what 3 quality opposition in that period? One of them was Chelsea, who we did very well against. But the other two were United at home who basically had both eyes on Europa League and Sp**s against whom we were trash. Switching a system doesn't solve our problems ovee night.

That's because we had 10 on target and scored 4, they had 3 on target and scored 3. The average shots on target for the EPL per game is about 4. The top teams averaged between 5/6 last year. 10 is excellent and showed we carved them apart.
When teams are overrun then you might expect to score up to half your shots on target. Average for the EPL is just under a third. Leicester scoring 3 out of 3 is highly unusual.
Stats are superb for analysing matches because people see what they want to see. Many of our posters are watching thinking Wenger is **** and it colours all their judgements right from the start.

Unlike Wenger, don't you think they've lost it a bit.
Watched Jimmy Page on Sky Arts playing the 'Since I've Been Loving You' lead and it wasn't that sharp. My iPod can play it miles better

My mistake, I thought it was 6. But I never said we had problems creating chances or carving them open. My point is that there were countless occasions in the game when we were left dangerously and hopelessly exposed, more importantly in a fashion we're all too familiar with. But hey if you wanna use stats to believe we dominated the game, well more power to you.

Such a good win last night. Reminded me of the 07/08 season when we won our first game very late vs Fulham with Hleb scoring.
That propelled us to having a god season where we led the league for two-third of the season. Hope this gives us similar confidence and we have a great season.

I believe Arsenal needs a world-class defender because Wenger knows nothing about defense.
History proves it. Our PL title comes with Tony Adams and Sol Campell leading the backs. Wenger is an expert in organizing attacks only.
Our downfall linked with Kos. Kos is good but in a Carragher-level only, not Adams. Liverpool can not win PL for a long time by some reason.
Contrast to Wenger, Italy managers like Conte and Ranieri can build a winning team with mediocre defenders.

Not that it matters much in the grand scheme of things but the new kit looks great. It's a real deep proper Arsenal red. Looks awesome under the lights!

I was listening to the match in the Dieppe port waitng to board the ferry, Five live reception was intermittant to say the least. What a match to half listen to! The commentator said that Özil handled the ball blatently for one of our goals, is that true?
