Match Reaction: Hull City 1 Arsenal 4

[Kano]

Wenger's genius shines through once again, saving the best 'til last

Xhaka owes it all to the great man.

Well deserved victory.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Goals.

Well done.

[Globalgunner]

Great game ruined by the Xhaka goal.

[Goonermerree]

I know, he'd better cut out that shooting outside the box lark.

[Marc Overmars]

Easy win as expected.

Chelsea next weekend. Time for this team to show some bollocks and give them a good kicking.

There's probably a club fine for that.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Ridiculous to be caught on the break when you have a man advantage.

Once again typically amateurish behaviour

You had to go and spoil everything by mentioning next week.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

- Should have been 4 - 0 up in the first half but a win's a win despite it being tense when they got a goal back. Coquelin to his credit did well today but there's no doubt that Xhaka is a step up from him. He's got to be starting from here onwards.


- Iwobi

Ahead of Theo and The Ox for sure.

- Worryingly another sub par game from Ozil. We really could do with him hitting some form.

- Mustafi was pretty ropey at times. Hopefully the partnership with Kos will develop.

- Poor Giroud but amazingly, the fact that he couldn't even get onto the bench is a testament to our relative lack of injuries so far.

Shad Forsythe and the Japanese bloke we have

I know, he'd better cut out that shooting outside the box lark.

Don't worry, when Wenger fines him a week's wages he'll get the message.

Great game ruined by the Xhaka goal.

For me it was the second Alexis goal. He had about 3 chances to pass it backwards but opted to batter it into the net instead

Hull really poor and weren't a challenge. Once they were down to 10 the game was done, despite the fact our defenders did everything they could to even it up.

I like the fact Iwobi wants to go forward and wants to threaten the opposition goal. He makes mistakes, but he also adds some desperately needed energy and direction to our tippy, tappy tedium. He's done enough to keep his place. Let's see what the genius in charge thinks though. The same guy who keeps Xhaka on the bench. Xhaka's goal was one of the moments we tune in to watch football for.
