Match Reaction vs Tottenham (home, FA Cup).

Arsenal :bow:.

Lovely footy, classy finishes, top, top defending again and Spufs well and truly put in their place. Really disappointing that it wasn't the 5-0 it should have been.

Rosicky was great. Cazorla is closing in on his top form. Walcott played well, but finished awlfully. Arteta controlled everything. Wilshere had another good day. But Gnabry was the most impressive. He was creating chances at will. He rightly should have had four assists at least but for poor finishing. If he doesn't get more first team football now, then WUMger is having a WUM.

Theo the troll :bow: :bow:.

Rose the Clown :bow: :bow:.

Agent Adebayor :bow: :bow:.

Spuds :haha: :haha:.

Arteta absolutely dominant in midfield with control and passing and made many interceptions. What a legend.

Cazorla was great for the finish. Rosicky never stops running and glad to see his goal. We need him to sign a new contract. Players of that quality and intelligence are so so rare.

Sagna was a rock as was Monreal.

Thought Theo was brilliant by himself.

But Gnabry was a stand out. So composed and so mature. Has the strength and skill to keep the ball and wriggle out of tight positions and always chooses the right option. Wonderful pass to Cazorla for the goal.

This team is close to being legendary.

Sign Sagna up.

And sign a decent striker and well be laughing!

Moment of the match was Theo with his wind up! Lol!

Awesome.

:patrice:

Complete control of the game. Really enjoyable to watch. Rosicky absolutely outstanding and another very mature performance from Gnabry who has looked ready for some time now. Even though he didn't score, I think the Walcott_up_front tactic looks good. We had a few fantastic build-ups that could've led to goals.

It helped that Sherwood was a mong and went with 2 up front which allowed the midfield to charge through and our goals were basically their unforced errors, but the movement of Walcott created a lot of openings, including Cazorla's strike. With around 83 mins on the clock and playing with 10 men, before 2012 we would've been shitting ourselves that we'd blow the lead. Theo winding up the fans and the whole mood would've seemed dangerously over confident. But with Sagna, Mertesacker and Koscielny at the back, you're not that worried now.

Sherwood: "It’s been 6 games in 17 days with a lot of injuries, it’s a big ask. Little bit of sharpness was missing. We’ve come to a team that are top for a reason, they’re a very very good team. I don't think they over-ran us in the middle of the park. A lot get says about 4-4-2, 4-5-1 but it's all about transitions.

Kos woz rite :bow:.

Some really good performances! Gnarby had a brilliant first half.
Bags of potential with that kid. Pace, good first touch, smart, quick feet....really impressive and he can play a major part for us this season. Really good to see the senior players looking to link up with him.

Theo up front worked for this game. Stretched their defence and created space for the other attacking players. We weren't bogged down on the edge of their box trying to thread the ball through tight spots. A very open game but would love to see that again if Theo isn't broken. He should have scored a couple.

Jack had a slow start but got better. Arteta was very solid, Monreal was really good too and held his own...defence was good overall...a fantastic result.!
