Massive win. Swansea were brilliant in the second half and were it for a lack of final ball they'd have had us on the ropes. Credit to the boys though. Kept hanging on in there and as all good championship quality teams do stepped it up a notch for ten minutes.
Gnabry had a poor first half. Very defensive. Not confident. Not looking to run and take players on and just go safe. He didn't provide an outlet for the centre midfielders. Similarly Wilshere drifting in on multiple occasions and leaving the flanks open for their wingers. Towards the end of the 1st half, with that run and pass Gnabry just grew in confidence and stature and believed he deserved to be out there. Came out for the second half as a different player. Making runs and taking players on and scored a fabulous finish. Wilshere too. Tackling, hunger, energy all came out in that second half. Involved heavily in both goals and he determination for the run kept the ball in play for us. Lovely interchanging passing.
Ramsey. What more to say. The fittest player in Arsenal's team since the days of Vieira. What an engine he has. And he's added those lung bursting attacking runs at the end. What composure to play a lovely assist and reverse to Gnabry for the first goal. And what composure and a finish for the second.
Szcesney was fantastic in handling and controlled his area brilliantly. Can't credit the defence more today. Kept us in it at the end of the 1st half and were dominant but for one attack from Swansea in the second. Ozil poor today. But should have scored his first when one on one. He's missing two pacey wingers that he can release on the flanks. He'll shine when we get Walcott, Cambo and Podolski back.
Come on you gunners!
Great result today, I thought we were superb in the 2nd half, countered with purpose and took our chances very well. I really like the look of this team, reminds me a little of the 06/07 team when we had the likes of Hleb, Cesc, Rosicky et al.
This team has a nice variety about it and seems quite resilient under pressure.
Once we sort out our depth issues in Attack and to a lesser degree Central Defence I think we have the makings of a great team/squad.
Its great to have Arsenal back, I'm really enjoying watching us play this season!
Hopefully if we can continue this form, Liverpool go down the table, a £50m bid for Suarez in Jan, and the title/everything else is ours , including the champions league !
Excellent win.
Poor first half, but another assured and mature away performance in the second period.
Gnabry, Ramsey and Wilshere really stepped up in the second half to help out Giroud who was impressive all game. Giroud was just as good defensively actually, along with Flamini, Mertesacker and Koscielny. Szczesny had another good game. Ozil wasn't so good. Hopefully he's saving his energy for Tuesday.
For an outfit with no depth, we're not doing badly to win two tough away games in four days and going top of the PL table with eight players out injured.
Just a shame about the +1 goal we keep conceding.
Arsenal.
Just popping out to supermarket really fancy a Caerphilly & Leek tart to munch on for MOTD later
Lol. What a waste of money Erzle is.
Nagry was cool.
Fucking love it.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
