Terrible first half much much better second half like the gunners of old.
Hand it over Thomas, you know it's the right thing to do
Coquelin had an impressive game, his work rate was excellent and with Jack's MOTM performance it was needed as Cazorla was still on winter break...
Jack was on another level tonight, if he can now realise that he can take shots at goal and make the difference and not always look to make the assist, this kid will be something great.
Giroud tried as always, his physical presence was needed.
Theo had a poor game, needs to sign the contract as his stock has dropped since the newcastle game.
Gibbs was excellent
Crap first half but a good second. Apart from Wilshere no one really stood out. His dribbling with the ball through midfield at pace is exactly what we've needed for a long time. Before, in these sorts of games we've struggled to get the goal and it's meandered along to a 0-0 or even a 1-0 loss, but thankfully we had someone in midfield willing to inject some energy which forced Swansea further and further back.
Wheelchair can be our Honest Frank if he keeps growing in confidence with his shooting.
Wilshere superb
Giroud tried hard, but finishing bad
Walnut had a poor one
Gibbs was excellent going forward. If Bould can coach him the art of defending faster than Wenger can coach it out of hIm, we might have a top player on our hands.
Overall one of our better performances for a while. Should really haven been comfortable.
not good enough from theo or giroud but jack bossed it and it was more a relief than anything we won that. it had a 1-0 to swansea on a breakaway on 89 minutes written all over that.
when we won this last time in 05 we had great draws all the way to the final and could do with that luck again thanks. at least wenger seems to be taking the cup seriously again.
I hope someone tells Jack not to jump on his knees like that when celebrating. Made me wince.
