I hope you were just as critical of Xhaka when he lighting it up at latter part of the season last year or bossed Chelsea last Sunday, Zim.

He's a quality player who plays an integral role to our current shape but he had a stinker today no doubt, but still was able to pull out two assists. Probably didn't help that his regular partner (Ramsey) was out - wasn't much of a surprise that he improved as soon as he came on.

Epic win tbh and one of those games that'll leave any Arsenal fan feeling giddy irrespective of what else is going on. We really could have had double figures in terms of goals - some silky attacking play only tempered by some bad finishes (*glares at Welbeck*) and great saves from Schemichal.

No doubt that the defence had a complete horror show but it was predicted based on shoehorning in two makeshift LB's there. I'd like to think that this was a one-off rather than a sign of things to come - generally we've been quite defensively solid ever since we went to three at the back. Personally I'd move the Bosnian beast to LWB next game and put Mustafi in the three.

Also surely for the love of god it's time to abandon the zonal marking system at corners? Completely dominated in the air by attacking players with a running start.
