Özil flick for the Giroud Goal against Villa. The best still is Wilshere's goal against Norwich.

Spot on. Douzi looked the part when he came on. Xhaka was able to do his thing with Torreira and Douzi breaking up everything.I really, really liked the look of us in a 442 for many reasons, but the main one being it gets the best out of ALL of our strikers, including Welbeck.
I also like the fact that it means we can attack with more natural width high up the pitch that doesn't consist of overlapping fullbacks leaving us exposed in defence.
Fulham used very advanced wing backs and left acres of space that Iwobi left and Mkhitaryan right were continuously exploiting. It's what teams have been doing to us for years.
We had much more zip and purpose to our attacking play. Even when Ramsey came on and switched to 4311, we looked a million times better than we've done in a 4231. There was a spell towards the end of the game when Guendouzi, Xhaka and Torreira in midfield were just doing whatever they wanted.
I've got to say Guendouzi oozed class when he came on. I don't know who France have coming through the ranks in midfield, but he is the real deal.
Very true but in the recent past even these games where opposition has made it easy we have struggled to get all three points. We're celebrating a 9 win run because of a new system that is clearly working.Fulham's defending was terrible, especially in the second half. They had a high line and their right back was virtually non existent in defence. They made it easy for us.
Well, that's usually the difference between top clubs and bottom, but it's nice to see that we can finally take advantage of that unlike before.Fulham's defending was terrible, especially in the second half.
