UCL | Arsenal v Basel | 28th of September at 19:45 (GMT)

[TakeChillPill]

breath taking stuff today! Wow can't remember the last time we played like that? maybe 5-0 against Porto.

Hats off to the players and Wenger... Wenger's way of football is football at it's purist. Shows what a high technical level you need to play this kind of football.

The injury to Ramesy is the best thing that could have happened to this team. He's not going to get near the starting 11 anytime soon.

 

[SuperGoon]

We kept the score humble. They're probably grateful that the scoresheet at least makes them look like they turned up.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Never seen a club do that before lol

We need more of it!

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Two classy clubs.

 

[ferrarif50hunt]

One of the best pass maps I've seen. Incredible, every player involved in the game from start to finish.

 

[HollandGooner]

The way we play is

Oh..But Santi is 31.....

He is vital for us.

 

[MLK79]

And the board will probably double that to keep him at Arsenal.

That will be understandable after he wins the quadruple.

Why is Wenger ignoring Lucas?

 

[Coolin]

Alexis seems enjoying himself as striker and getting more and more use to it.

8 Games 5 goals 5 assists.

Messi numbers.

 

[Polar Bear]

Great performance tonight. 2-0, but it could have been 6-0 easily. good 3 points. Very important we don't finish 2nd in the group, we know that happens always! Bayern or Barcelona. We need to finish 1st, its so important we get the 1st place this time.

 

[Coolin]

It was actually total domination from minute one. They must've thought they were at the Nou Camp.

 

[cannonade]

Why is Wenger ignoring Lucas?

Because he wants Alexis to sign a new contract. That and Wenger rarely messes with a settled team unless forced to.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

What a performance. Dominated the game, this is the best footy we've played since 2008, no doubt about it. Only this time we look stronger at the back.

Yet again, the only disappointment is that we didn't score more, but the goals will come.

 

[4R5Emaniac]

Wow, what happened? 5 freaking 0. Who were the best performers?

 

[berric]

Because he wants Alexis to sign a new contract. That and Wenger rarely messes with a settled team unless forced to.

Yeah but at least 10-15 minutes near the end? Alexis would also benefit with some rest.

 

[Gooner Zig]

Just finished watching the game - how the **** wasn't it 5-0?

Alexis could have had 4 of his own on another day. That Basel keeper, FFS, turned into a hybrid of Buffon/Neuer

Our attack is x2-3 levels above what it was last year, amazing what confidence can do.

Oh and Alexis, did I mention him? I'm sorry Mr. Wenger for doubting your decision making here, but Alexis played the perfect game from CF - what a player.

 

[Ayreon]

Do you know where can I watch (or download) the full match?
I was at work so I missed it

 

[4R5Emaniac]

Ow, it wasn't 5-0! Just woke up and from the comments thought we scored 5! When HL ended thought they were screwing with me From the HL though we should have scored 10 goals FFS! Some fabulous football that deserved goals.

 

[MLK79]

Just watched ESPN FC and Gab Marcotti says that there was only one match this round that was one sided and that we could've scores 10 or 12 goals.

That brought a tear to my eye and I don't even have tear ducks.
