And how freaking awesome is Coquelin?!!? Santi was obviously on another planet but Coquelin is really stepping up. Time to take note of him!

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

Apart from that one that went across goal, City barely had any chances. We kept them at arm's length, cleared their crosses, won the second balls for once and blocked everything. It helped that Navas is shit too.
It's good to see WUMger sticking with form players for once and getting the balance right. Cazorla, Coquelin and Koscielny were outstanding. Most pleasingly, Bellerin showed great maturity today and maybe people will finally admit that Monreal is having a good season and has been one of our most reliable players.
We got the result with Sanchez and Ox being sloppy too, so it shows how well the whole team played.
Arsenal
Cazorla
Coquelin
Mike Dean doing his job mostly right was also a tremendous bonus.
Ospina was barely troubled and the defence comfortably dealt with all their tippy tappy stuff. Cazorla was sublime, he has found his mojo again and seems to be thriving operating from a more central role. Oxlade wasn't very good and Ramsey took it upon himself to go up front, but that was nipped in the bud quickly after Rosicky was brought on.
Apart from the early part of the first half when we reverted to type and lost our shape, it was a brilliant performance. It was odd watching us appear so composed and City being the ones huffing and puffing to no avail, normally it's the other way around because that's how we've so often lost these games in the past.
Fantastic stuff, keep it up!
Superb. Tactically flawless. We defended so well, broke with purpose and just played a very smart game. That win was massive. So many superb performers, Santi was world class today totally ran the show, Coquelin was oustanding too, mopped up everything in front of the back 4, defence was superb too. So happy for the team.
Fantastic win, Fantastic performance to boot. Santi, absi brilliant, well done.
I'm just not sure we have this monkey off our back of not being able to win big games, though. For me, that still means going to Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge and winning- something we haven't done in donkey's years.

Sanity.
Great performance today.
Old Trafford is the one. Stamford Bridge we've won twice relatively recently.

"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
