Careful. Rio was feeling just as confident.
The team, and individuals, has to turn up on Thursday. They did tonight, but they didn’t on Thursday.

It’s just as streaky as it has been for years—justva different kind of streaky under Emery. I think we generally play better backs to the wall football these days. I fancy holding out for the win more now than for as far back as I can remember.

Leno was incredible today
for all the positives- without those two worldies we don't win that.

League is very weak
It was only streaky for maybe two seasons with Wenger.

I’ve thought our attack had no real structure to it for years. Didn’t look fluent or reliable often enough, way before Alexis arrived. He improved it because he had the individual brilliance, but we relied too often on great goals and we paid for it.

Amazing how Wenger got top 4 for years playing with no structure on our spend! Quite amazing.

Absolutely. Topping the mug league without City, Chelsea and Man Utd was some achievement. Holding off the mighty Sp**s and Everton as often as we did... I’m in tears here.

The guy was such a fluke.... I don't know how he winged those two doubles.

Totally drenched. Thank goodness managed to grab a black cab (even if the cabbie was a Manu fan) and get to Radici restaurant quickly to down a few grappas to warm up before dinner.

I thought we played better against Sp**s with a 4411. Better defensive shape and still threatened on the counter. We were too open today.
This was a finely balanced game but I think we edged it due to our strong start and some heroic last ditch defending.
It was a ballsy performance.

Have we got the guy who runs Roma’s twitter as well as Monchi?

Great win, a very bold team selection by Emery and some majestic performances by Ramsey, Xhaka, Leno, AMN, Kos and Papa.
Also gotta laugh at their match predictions over at RCafe

Delighted with the win but I actually thought our attack (Lacazette aside) was pretty poor today. Wasted loads of decent counter attacking opportunities and De Gea didn’t have to make a save.

I think having two direct wide men who can dribble and link up well is quite a crucial component to Emery's style. Like we've seen with Mkhi's recent turn of form how much better we look as an attacking force in the 4-2-3-1. Today it was more like we just played our three best forwards (4 if you count Ramsey as an attacker) out of necessity more than anything else. Amazing how Özil behind the two strikers just doesn't automatically work as well as you might think it would.

They're pretty salty about that Unai's at the wheel tweet.

Bet they all loved that dancefloor stuff. Typical school bully mentality, can dish it out but can't take it.
Its just the Arsenal twitter account ran by whoever does our social media stuff. Its not like Emery or Raul sat down and tweeted that out.

They were wotless in all honesty. Frustrating as ****. Got to the point where I rarely sat up in excitement when we countered in numbers. I was waiting for us to mess it up, and they did every time, It was ponderous and clumsey,

Agree with every word. Not going to touch on certain personnel issues because I’ve been getting too many death threats but I certainly didn’t think our attack looked particularly cohesive today.
As you say though, I think the formation was one of necessity. Emery’s preferred formation is clearly a 4231 but it seems like he doesn’t feel that we can play that way without Mkhitraryan’s width.
