    3 points. Walcott really should have put the game to bed in the end but we should have never been in that sort of position in the first place. Scored 2 easy goals and but a lapse in concentration from Xhaka let them back in. An on and off game for Alexis and slow start for Ozil but that was a heck of a 3rd goal. Great pass and great finish.

    We somehow fuck up again and Xhaka decides to go full retard. It was cynical and wasn't surprised the ref reached for his back pocket. Wenger needs to have a word with him. He had a poor game.

    I thought the script was written and we'd choke but we didn't. Good subs from Wenger. They worked for once. Some good play by Ox and Theo staying on for 90 minutes for a change makes sense. He just needs to finish the chances off.

    Theo getting more stick than Xhaka who was almost single handedly responsible for why it was even a contest. Typical. He of course should have scored but the lines men and ref were in a competition to see who could be the most incompetent.

    Very good showing from the Ox indeed and as you say.....Wenger should have a word with Xhaka. Nobody got on his back for the first goal and then he makes a ridiculous foul in an area of little danger.

    I think Wenger and all of us knew about the other side to Xhaka when he signed. It was just a matter of time before he got a red. Was it four last season? He's already seen red for the national team this time round. He didn't help himself by making such a daft tackle. The mistake for the goal was horrible but the defence were far more at fault today with how poorly they organised themselves.

    Theo needs to practise his finishing, but he was bobbing around the box and causing them problems. If he does that every week and scores two goals I'll be happy with him.

    Our top scorer this season, fair play to him.

    He was unlucky with the one off the post. The other one at the end...
    He had time to take a touch and just pass it into the net.

    I thought it would have been sensible to target preventing the crosses but we gave them time and space which was partly why the quality of their delivery was so often good. Of course if you're trying to stop crosses it helps if you're not a man down!

    It's typical on here. If Coquelin had done what Xhaka had done, I'm sure the same people would criticize his performance and rightly so. It should have been a comfortable game.

    The linesmen made a couple of bad calls. They really need to introduce some sort of tech to make these sort of calls. How these guys supposed to keep up with players like Walcott and Bellerin?

    Good showing from Ox. Good to see him playing with that sort of confidence. May it continue. We need a strong bench.

    Iwobi looked sharp today as well. Didn't have many big moments but could see he wanted to make something happen when he had the ball. That dribble run was amazing.

    Theo deserves stick for his performance, as well as praise. It's high time he introduced some consistency to his game. He's had a decade to do it. It's just not good enough that he can't put in a decent 90 minutes on a consistent basis. And it's basic, basic stuff he's getting wrong. Okay so he screwed the final shot high and wide, but before that he was in front of goal and could pick the side he wanted to slot it into. He hit the post. It's not good enough.

    Top goal scorer for us this season. He scored 2 today and 7 already this season. I think it's 6 goals in his last 5 games. So far he's been consistent so relax a little.
