cracking comeback. Giroud very good when has podolski next to him. podolski a game changer but BFG, Arteta, Ozil all superb but Santi was MOTM.
great win. back to the top
and another thing, how many red cards are teams going to avoid against us? in the last 3 matches, there should have been 4 red cards. toure, ramies, mikel and today o'brien should have gone for a second yellow. its becoming a joke
Come on you GOONERS!
That will have done the boys confidence a world of good.
Hopefully this gets our season back on track.
Sir Ches kept us in it despite a mistake.
Giroud was absolutely awful in front of goal and was struggling with his touch and finishing although he laid a stunning assist for Podolski's goal.
Arteta I thought was brilliant and holding things in the middle of the park after Ramsey went off especially. He was essentially a lone centre mid with everyone else forward.
Podolski made a difference as you know he's always a threat with his shooting ability. And scored a goal and assisted Theo.
Theo - a powerful header and a good (lucky) finish. Stretched them. Looks best when he's coming in.
MOTM though, without a shadow of a doubt - Cazorla. Struggling at the start on the flanks. As soon as he moved to the middle, changed the game with vision, control, passing both short and long range and absolutely sublime.
Wenger now needs to decide on his first team.
For my money's worth, give Ozil a break. Get Ramsey a break with his injury.
Arteta, Flamini/Wilshere, Cazorla in the middle with Cazorla in the playmaker role. Walcott and Podolski supporting the striker.
I hope for goodness sake that Wenger doesn't rest on his laurels and tries to go all out for a striker like Diego Costa.
Santi MOTM.
Feo finally found his shooting boots.
Great cameo for Pod.
Giroud is off form and tired, bench him against Newcastle.
The rest of the team are good but wasteful IMO. Bring on Barcodes
somebody put something in my milk
Didn't see the game.
Much needed 3 points though and great to bag our first win this season coming from behind.
Really tough game against the Barcodes on Sunday now. Come on you Gunners!
Cazorla should definitely starts at CAM role, move Ozil to the left or rotate them.

*phew*
Take out the little period after West Ham scored and we were pushing for the equaliser and that was a good performance. One of the best in a while.
The game should have been well and truly over at half time. It was inevitable after dominating that West Ham would score. The response was great.
Theo was amateurish with his passing and basic possession play at times (and with his first-half finishing), but he can now be relied upon to make a difference in the final third. His output has been impressive so far this season.
Similarly, Podolski has looked really good in the little match time he has had and was a real force when he came on. He was direct, involved all over and the cross and finish were expected of a player of his pedigree.
Cazorla was fantastic today and hopefully he has got back into the rhythm of things now going forward.
Gibbs, Ramsey and Arteta had good games too. The defence was fine again apart from Szczesny's mistake.
Giroud and Ozil sadly continued their subdued form, despite a few moments of quality. No harm in dropping Ozil at the moment. Giroud being dropped could still ruin the shape, though.
Arsenal.
Theo
Podolski
Cazorla
Thats what having athletes in the side does for you.
Pace and power trumps these nimble passing nothing players in the final third in this league. Our plentiful football snob supporters
Wenger got out of jail. They tried to act as if Ramsey going off was doomsday. Should have made that change ages before.
