[Yousif Arsenal]

Gotta give Mustafi a lot of credit today. Thought he was excellent.

The defense been great at 2nd half

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

Gotta give Mustafi a lot of credit today. Thought he was excellent.

Didn’t put a foot wrong- likewise against Fulham. I hope he’s turned a corner but we’ve thought this before.

 

[krackpot]

Probably still thinking about Pogba’s mistake at the weekend

I think I just saw a Souness smile talking about Arsenal

Never let it rest

 

[GoonerJeeves]

He might not have gotten on the scoresheet, but Laca's hold-up play is better and better.

Our closest rivals is probably Bournemouth. Not that I've watched them once this season.

Sorry, but Lich was the opposite of good.

he needs gametime... and he can definetly play that role.

 

[tap-in]

That was so fvcking enjoyable! I'm starting to think we are so good in the 2nd half of every game because Emery reads the game so well and makes the changes we need to perfection. Iwobi is a starter from now on, if he wasn't already!

 

[HBL]

Need Sokratis back asap, you could tell we really lacked pace at the back today

 

[celestis]

Do we honestly deliberately start slowly and then blitz teams in the second half on purpose. It's honestly starting to look like it's a legit strategy now.

Unai been mentioning how crap our 1st halves are .

The madman's been playing well for a while now. Shhhhhhhhh.....don't let him hear.

 

[vijay]

those who missed watching Bergkamp ....dont make the mistake of not watching Özil. Today was something that is really rare... an artist at the peak of this form.

 

[ptrcopp]

He’s another all out attack merchant, and I love it.

There has been clear work in the defensive department though.
We look set up (in some moves), similar to City, to avoid the counter. Both CMs play deep and wide, where City’s full backs did last season and CMs are this season. I think this has been the key difference.
But also, when we had a free kick there were always three pacey players 25-30 yards out ready.
We look shaken but there are always players ready to defend, which wasn’t the same under Wenger. Under Wenger, the FB were blamed when it should have been the tactics.
Under Pep, Dani Albee’s and Alba were always the furthest forward. Full backs pushing forward wasn’t to blame, it was compensating for that.

 

[MaraDon]

we need a big win when are we playing United?

 

[HBL]

Leno
Bellerin - Mustafi - Sokratis - Nacho
Torreira - Guendouzi
Iwobi - Özil - Auba
Laca
​

Against Palace?

 

[Giroud12]

This looks like a prime Wenger team. Sensational goals, attacking football, and built on a low budget compared to pool, city, manu and chelsea.

Love the way we absolutely hammer teams in the second half. It has happened so many times now its no coincidence. Emery is fantastic at changing things up, something we never saw under Wenger. If it was Guardiola that put Xhaka at left back and subbed in Auba who scores a brace in two minutes, the media wankfest would go on until next weekend.

Think everyone did really well. Leno is looking good, the clown in our defence from last season is long gone, Bellerin very good, Holding OK but hes our 4th choice CB. Lich did good as well. Great back up to have at both sides.

Torreira is looking like the transfer of the season for sure, Xhaka is like a new player, Iwobi is absolutely bossing it and the trio of Auba-Laca-Özil is the stuff of dreams at the moment.

1o on the bounce now and were looking very, very good. Feeling confident against Liverpool in a couple of weeks!

COME ON ARSENAL!!!!

 

[ptrcopp]

It’s always a pleasure to hear Bellerin speak.

 

[arsmile]

that was amazing

so many good individual performances

iwobi was great all match
xhaka was fantastic at left back!
Özil was decisive
aubameyang made a huge impact

what a day!

Mustafi "when you give Özil the chance to play in his favourite position behind the striker.."

 

[Lakersgooner24]

Aside from the start of the match up to their goal, I haven’t had as much joy watching us play football since the days of Cesc and co. where we’d play teams off the park destroying them 5-0.

Still, our litmus test will be coming up in the winter fixtures with Pool, Sp**s and United, but confidence is at a level we haven’t experienced for a while.

 

[NieThePiet]

Iwobi won Man of the Match

Yeah, he was great again. But they know, that Özil has played?
