Well done, pressed them consistently in the first half very professional in the second half.
Mental Kos took a day off for this one with somebody sane next to him and great he was.
Gutting about Bellerin which is likely to be a bad one.
Chelsea.
Emery.
Took a lot of stick this week but that'll quieten it down for a bit. Only Man Utd next in the Cup.
Concerned about this Bellerin injury. Could have a huge effect on the rest of our season.
But great work and defending. Kos and Sok (almost a palindrome) need to be our centre two for the rest of the season.
Great goal from Laca and Ramsey was also superb.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Jenas is miserable.
SWEET CAROLINE!!
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

Now you're tired of fighting
We need to make this count. We wasted the result against Spurs. We can’t afford to lose any momentum gained from this.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Sarri conducting his interview in Italian, then a bit of English and then Italian again after speaking English throughout the season.
Good performance and clearly the better team won. I thought our game against the Chavs earlier this season was one of our best performances (and one of Emery's) and we were unlucky to come out with nothing- however Emery has out-manoeuvred Sarri again, and hopefully we move on strong from this just like last time with the run.
Now I hope today quitens those who seem to have something against Laca or that our 2 strikers should start the game. All round both their contributions were excellent but as some of us keep saying about Laca, he adds something special that makes him pivitol in this team which generally lacks character (not today though). Off my head the the closest player I could compare him with is Heskey, and usually when Emille was up for it you just knew the defenders would have a torrid time and Liverpool would score (even if he wasn't the one on the scoresheet). It was clear who had the easier chances but look who scored that important goal that got us going.
The defence was better, 3 at the back is not needed when 2CBs play the way Sokratis and Kos did. Special mention for Kos today who brought back memories of how he use to be at his pomp when partnered with Verm.
Everyone lifted their game today but if had to rate the performances that carried us over the line it would be, Captain Kos, Laca, Auba and Ramsey (brilliant tactical nous by Emery ensuring Jorghinho was useless in the game).
Also the pressure we applied from the front and offset ensured defending was easier today- why we don't do this often is beyond me.

Looks like a cruciate knee ligament injury for Bellerin. 6 months
