An expected lack of flow to the team with all the injuries and nervy at the back but we toughed it out to take the three points.
Well done and onto Greece we go.
Rambo back in the middle and on the scoresheet and no injuries :bow:

Cannot perform like this in Greece next week
Cech MOTM
Much needed win.
Someone must have kept the City score from them.
Its all about consigning November to history.
Horrible performance in truth but we needed any win after not having one in the previous three.
And also.
November. :lol:
Fuck you.
December. :bow:
About as thrilling as receiving a Lynx Africa gift set for Christmas.
Horrible performance. Good result. Nobody injured. We are winning BPL.
Xmas essential. Everyman needs a back-up spray.Quote:

A win is all that matters with so many important players out.
Fat Sam :haha:.
Much needed win which I'm sure every Gooner readily accepts.
Also, must mention that we're now second in the league after having a horrific November. BLitW tbf. :bow:

For me Campbell is settling in finally and looks stable enough to live with as a third choice sub (sorry if that offends, but he hasn't looked up to it at times). Bellerin for some reason has lost the willing to run at teams although he was solid enough today. There was a tug with some refs might have led to a pel but other than that he seems to have a good understanding with Cech, as do the rest of the defenders. Even at a relatively low point like now our back four seem to have developed something solid with who I have considered the best keeper in the PL for years.
Monreal was better today and Rambo did his usual good stuff with the odd brainfart thrown in. Ox was better but like others I am not sure he is progressing. He seems caught in a tunnel where he has gone from a youngster who shows promise to a first teamer who shows promise without advancing at Arsenal. I hope he can get on the fast track again like he seems to have done in the past only to regress.
Other than that I thought Flamster was good for the job. He was expected to step up as a playmaker at times which must be hard as he never has been one. I thought he was put in trouble a few times, in particular passes from Rambo and Monreal.
Ozil looks to be a lot quicker player this season with no lapse in quality. BFG, Big Sexy and any others I've missed did what you expect them to do. We weren't great but best team won.
Ozil is so brilliant to watch
The flicks, the feints, the control, everything

Fuckin brilliant 3 points, needed that win to finally take advantage of the City and Utd dropped points.
Don't care how the points are earned, especially with the number of fixtures and injuries piling up ......just get those wins and points on the board. Ordinary performance, absolutely great result!!!!!
Guess so, but we seem to have lost confidence? We need to spend in January to shake it up a bit.Quote:

it's not just Mertesacker either, there is no doubt Bellerin, Koscielny and Monreal are great at what they do....but the last three or four games they look like they've been caught half way through taking a shit.
Ramsey was excellent going forward yesterday but basically hardly ever tracked back (Cazorla even on an off day does) and just left Flamini to put out fires.
Good 3 points. Good start for Ramsey and he looks better in the middle. A goal and an assist. Let's hope he keeps it going. Didn't see the full game but good to see Campbell get the first goal. That will help his confidence. Giroud with an own goal but scores to make up for it. Another headed goal. That's his strength and playing it to his feet is pointless. Good to see Theo back. Just has to stay fit. Didn't see much of Ox. Good to see he is fit but hope he gets up to speed quickly.
Shaky on defence. No idea what's going on there but Cech has made a serious impact on our season so far.
Chelsea lost again. :lol: City lost. :lol: Manure and Spurs drew! Good weekend for us.
Monreal was good, but Bellerin was awful yesterday, kept leaving us so openQuote:

We would have lost yesterday if not for Petr Cech.
Good win, crap performance. Cech is awesome.
To be fair to Wenger Cech was a superb signing. If it wasn't for Cech we'd be halfway down the league this season, he's really saved our arse on many occassions.Quote:
