Great performance.
That team selection though.
Sorry.
Theo one away from the 100. Good to see Welbz the Bodybuilder back.

Just got in and seen the score.
Arsenal.
On we go.
Genuinely good performance in all areas of the pitch (well bar Ospina but he's useless anyway)
Gibbs a bit suspect at times
Ox playing the ball like a heat seeking missile
Two lovely finishes from Danny Welbeck
Nice clinical finishing from Theo
Lovely cameo from Alexis full of dogged determination
Solid performances from Maitland-Niles and Geoff
Welbeck's salt celebration.![]()
Puel named a ridiculous side. Looked like he picked winners of a competition out of the stands and stuck Long up front. As much as an annoying little eejiot he can be.... waht did he think was going to happen, almost regardless of the team we named. They just looked so disjointed and meek compared to the Southampton teams that have left us gnashing our teeth the last few years. The easiest game any of them will get all season.
Having said that the finishing was great and the Jeff really sees the full game. Good to see Welbz take two chances I would often fancy him to miss.
Despite the opposition, the team came out and did what they were supposed to do. No slacking. Had no hope for that midfield providing support to the front three strike force but came away impressed and surprised. Niles and Ox were fantastic. Some lovely passes to create chances.
Lucas really impressed me also. He should be getting games through the middle if he's able to assist like as well as score. Not sure what he's done wrong to be benched. We've seen he can score goals but has the technical ability to be a good team player also.
Welbeck and Walcott were also fantastic. Good to see them both scoring after being out injured.
It's these sort of performances I want to see from the fringe players. Even if we're up against a poor side, hammer them! Make a case for first team action.
What possible excuse will the French bloke have if we go back to his suffocating style of football? This is how we should play all the time and even though Soton were pretty lame it still must make sense that unless you are up against a Barca you're better off playing more direct football and moving the ball towards the opposition goal. I can't imagine any conceivable reason to start Giroud again this season when we have Welbeck, Alexis, Perez in the squad. And Niles looked twice as good as Coquelin or ElNeny, yes sure it's a one off but I hope Wenger at least asks the regulars to justify their shirts and lets them know there are players waiting to take them.
Lovely performance by Ox in the middle. Doing precisely what I'd assumed Xhaka had been brought into to do. But unfortunately Ox wouldn't be an option up against the typical midfield destroyers you get in this league.
Für eure Sicherheit
Don't know if anyone has noticed, but Welbeck has a great smile.
