Only caught highlights on MOTD. Defensively we looked shite in every clip I saw. Cech really is going to be worth 15 points after all. If we had a Ches or Flappy in goal we'd have dropped plenty more points. At least a few players are coming back I suppose, and in the little bit I saw Ramsey seemed to be involved in everything.

It's so nice to have a proper, solid 'keeper again. We wouldn't have won that game last year, he's making a massive difference.
it'd be nice to have proper, solid defending to go with it
it's not just Mertesacker either, there is no doubt Bellerin, Koscielny and Monreal are great at what they do....but the last three or four games they look like they've been caught half way through taking a shit.
Ramsey was excellent going forward yesterday but basically hardly ever tracked back (Cazorla even on an off day does) and just left Flamini to put out fires.
Good 3 points. Good start for Ramsey and he looks better in the middle. A goal and an assist. Let's hope he keeps it going. Didn't see the full game but good to see Campbell get the first goal. That will help his confidence. Giroud with an own goal but scores to make up for it. Another headed goal. That's his strength and playing it to his feet is pointless. Good to see Theo back. Just has to stay fit. Didn't see much of Ox. Good to see he is fit but hope he gets up to speed quickly.
Shaky on defence. No idea what's going on there but Cech has made a serious impact on our season so far.
Chelsea lost again.City lost.
Monreal was good, but Bellerin was awful yesterday, kept leaving us so open
Monreal was good going forward, but too many times was outdone for pace being caught too far forward, and sometimes his interceptions ended up straight back at the feet of a sunderland player.
And as for set pieces.....this is the worst i've seen us at set pieces in about five years, basically almost every ball that goes into the box results in either a goal or a goalmouth scramble.....it's not just zonal marking, it's the total passivity allowing free movement of attacking players in the box.
We would have lost yesterday if not for Petr Cech.
Good win, crap performance. Cech is awesome.
To be fair to Wenger Cech was a superb signing. If it wasn't for Cech we'd be halfway down the league this season, he's really saved our arse on many occassions.
Most sane Gooners would have to admit that Wenger is among the best when signing key players. He's not perfect, but noone is and he has an eye for a player all right. I was underwhelmed by the Cech signing, but I'm not any more!
