Job done albeit I think we really needed a battering to raise our spirits. Had the opportunities to do so as well.

Ramsey had a shocker and really needs proper coaching - I know he's disliked by many on here but I think he'd be beastly for us if he stuck to what he excels at.

Actually though Mustafi looked good in the sweeper role, mopping up anything that got past the others. Needed to do better against Murray though he's a beast in the air.


I think I've made my views on Ozil clear already but like Jack he shouldn't get back into the team unless they pledge their commitment to the team in the form of signing a new contract - I'm sick of us building around or rewarding uncommitted players ... let them live by their decisions. Alexis is the only exception because of how fucking good he is.

Arsenal defender Nacho Monreal who scored their opening goal, speaking to BT: "I was lucky to score today. We knew it would be a difficult game. They defended with a lot of players. I was lucky to be there and get my second goal for Arsenal.

"After Liverpool we talked because we can't play as we did. We lost 4-0 and the team was really poor. From there the team reacted we are playing more compact, we defend with all players and have a clean sheet.

"We have top players up front. They will score goals if we defend and can help with a clean sheet it is much better."
Looks like there was another player meeting after the Liverpool debacle.

Monreal though

Now he's a player I'd love for us to keep forever, if anything like the BFG because of he's an adult and because of his professionalism.
