Give Jack the captaincy & £110K a week
theo wants to be paid more then jack? :haha: behave.
jack is a fucking beast. skill, determination and passion. and the scary thing is, he is only 21. he is going to get so much better
VE VILL VIN FA Cup 2013!
Wilshere. :bow:
And we're back to missing sitters again. I can't work out if that's a bad thing or just the Arsenal I used to know.
Really good performance. Bossed it from start to finish.
Jack is great :bow:
Good win.
Think Giroud will score in Brighton.
Got the win that's what counts, Wilshere outstanding
All over them in the 2nd half but Theo and Giroud were typically wasteful.
Thank fuck for Super Jack, if only everyone in the team had his drive and enthusiasm.
Send Theo on the quickest plane to Russia pls.
Give Jack the captaincy.
Great performance, should have been 4-0 up easily by the last ten minutes. Easy tie next round, we all know how the last one against this kind of opponent went...
We're winning this filth :good:
Played well.
Put RVP in this team and it might win something.
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.
How many rounds in FA cups?
He is Spanish, we can't turn him into a potshot merchant. His technique is good though, even if we don't see it much.Quote:

12 more to go.Quote:

He's Spanish but with a GHEL brain. It's a rare commodity.Quote:

Bacon. :bow:
The 3 in midfield was good. It is no surprise they are all mobile players (Arteta and Cazorla are not that good at covering the pitch) which suit our style of play. If they are all fit, I would prefer to play Cazorla wide, let Podolski and Giroud fight for CF role. :coffee:Quote:

Jack has found his little burst! lol
Good win. I stopped watching after 15 odd minutes cos I had more important stuff to do. Good to see Jack actually produce some end product. Was Giroud still as shit as he was in the first 15 minutes or did he improve?
That is bullshit.Quote:

jack was good, still tries his hardest to set up an assist when he can just lash it but he got the winner so fuck it.
chezza's been good when called upon in the past few weeks, hopefully that wont mean he's due a major cock up against chelsea this weekend.
giroud getting in the right positions, just needs to be more clinical. decent first season though.
sagna playing like his heart is elsewhere. been bad lately. stick cafu in.
How ever many more we have before we meet a decent side.Quote:

No striker thenQuote:
on the performance…
We had a better team balance tonight and created chance after chance, especially in the second half but even in the first half we created chances. It was unbelievable that we couldn't score, but we got it in the end. We persevered and were rewarded and we had a good performance. It gives you a lot of regrets that we played with 10 men on Sunday when you see our second half and our game tonight. It is important that we continue to develop like that as a team.
on Jack Wilshere…
Yes, he was outstanding tonight. I felt many players played well. As a team we played well and he was in a different position, he was high up and it suits him well. I have no experience of player being out for 17 months in my whole career, but honestly I always said that if we got Jack on January 1, then we would have done well. But he is ahead of what I could imagine.
on whether he considered taking him off…
No, I did not envisage that at all. I would love to have done it, but I was never in a position to do it because you could feel he was a threat. Even as a left winger he was a threat. We combined well, Gibbs had a great second half on the left side, also on the right side - we were dangerous everywhere.
on whether No 10 is his true position…
He is at the complete midfielder, he can play anywhere. He is a guy who can dribble and give a final ball, so the closer he is to goal, the better it is. He has quality and enthusiasm, and love for the game. That is the most important thing to me.
on Coquelin and Diaby…
We try to put a but more power in to defend better and it looked tonight like it worked well. Diaby responded well, I should maybe have taken him off a bit earlier but he looked alright.
on missing many chances…
That is the negative of the night.
on whether he needs a striker…
I believe in Giroud. He is a threat and he creates chances. Let's first try to finish the deal with Walcott and then we see what we can do from there.
on when the Walcott deal could be signed…
I hope it will be soon, very, very soon now. I cannot tell you much more.
on Guardiola going to Bayern Munich…
He has chosen Bayern, it came as a surprise to me as well.Only he can answer that question. So you see we need a good performance because we playa against two managers when we play against Bayern!
on the FA Cup's importance…
I would not like to think the Premier League is less important, we have to fight very hard to get back into a better position there. But we are in a position where you lose at home to Manchester City your confidence drops very quickly. So no matter what competition it was tonight, we just wanted to win the game. We go to Brighton now, and we will play with full power but there was more at stake tonight than just the FA Cup. [The priority] was to win again after losing such a big game on Sunday it was important to come back and win straight away.
on staying in more than one competition…
Yes, that is important as well. Yes, it's one of the reasons [why he fields stronger teams in the cups now]. We have tried to stay in as many competitions as possible. I took seriously as well, even if it didn't work, at Bradford. The fact that you play difficult games in the Champions League against Bayern Munich, they are fantastic games in front of us but it is important to stay in as many competitions as possible.
It was a good performance and a merited result - take a day off from all the misery
Fair enough.
Wingers Italian impression :bow:Quote:
