cracking comeback. Giroud very good when has podolski next to him. podolski a game changer but BFG, Arteta, Ozil all superb but Santi was MOTM.
great win. back to the top
and another thing, how many red cards are teams going to avoid against us? in the last 3 matches, there should have been 4 red cards. toure, ramies, mikel and today o'brien should have gone for a second yellow. its becoming a joke
Santi MOTM.
Feo finally found his shooting boots.
Great cameo for Pod.
Giroud is off form and tired, bench him against Newcastle.
The rest of the team are good but wasteful IMO. Bring on Barcodes
somebody put something in my milk
Cazorla should definitely starts at CAM role, move Ozil to the left or rotate them.

*phew*
Thats what having athletes in the side does for you.
Pace and power trumps these nimble passing nothing players in the final third in this league. Our plentiful football snob supporters
Wenger got out of jail. They tried to act as if Ramsey going off was doomsday. Should have made that change ages before.
Take out the little period after West Ham scored and we were pushing for the equaliser and that was a good performance. One of the best in a while.
The game should have been well and truly over at half time. It was inevitable after dominating that West Ham would score. The response was great.
Theo was amateurish with his passing and basic possession play at times (and with his first-half finishing), but he can now be relied upon to make a difference in the final third. His output has been impressive so far this season.
Similarly, Podolski has looked really good in the little match time he has had and was a real force when he came on. He was direct, involved all over and the cross and finish were expected of a player of his pedigree.
Cazorla was fantastic today and hopefully he has got back into the rhythm of things now going forward.
Gibbs, Ramsey and Arteta had good games too. The defence was fine again apart from Szczesny's mistake.
Giroud and Ozil sadly continued their subdued form, despite a few moments of quality. No harm in dropping Ozil at the moment. Giroud being dropped could still ruin the shape, though.
Arsenal.
Theo
Podolski
Cazorla
Great result.
I thought Arteta had another steady game....and despite being accused of being inadequate and only passing backwards recently, he had another good game.
I think Cazorla seems back on it although I think too much is being made of him playing in the centre. There were plenty of games where he was devastating from the left last season and he was actually very good in the first half too before he moved in field.
Theo's goal was the catalyst and gave us the momentum to play a bit more freely. West Ham started to get their tails up in the second half and were a lot less organised and more expansive and those were contributing factors in the final quarter up turn.
Where I would agree is that Podolski should play more than he does and when he does play, he should go wide left with Cazorla naturally coming in field. I'm not sure where that leaves Ozil, if everyone is fit and there is no need for rotation though.....
Perhaps we simply have to choose between Ozil and Cazorla.
