Akpom looks a much better prospect than Sanogo.
Akpom looks a much better prospect than Sanogo.
Pros :
Good game , good goals , good performance .
Cons : being always under pressure even against shit teams at home even when leading one nil until the second and the third goals come . We should be able to relax against such teams from first to last whistle .
Special mention to Ospina : A real number one and game winner . SCNCZXX should be kept away from him . If Wojciech was in goal he could have let in at least two .

Just got back.
Coquelin superb.
Ospina clearly number 1 now. Another clean sheet and composed throughout. His kicking was excellent.
Ozil and walcott devastating as usual.
Bring on the vermin.
only 48% of the ball too. I have lost count how many times I have argued with the old man about this. When we have lost and have had 60-65%, I keep telling him its pointless unless we do something with it.
Agree with all that......Arsenal. Should have been 12-0.
Cazorla
The speed and energy of Coquelin and Bellerin have made us a different team. And do not forget we have also Alexis and Ox who are having little bit winter break.
Walcott and Ozil scoring is great too.
Giroud is such an under-appreciated player. We know he has his faults but he is so valuable when he's sharp and his productivity is so much more impressive than some so-called big names all around Europe.
Monreal has been virtually faultless all season and Ospina is extremely solid and calm.
Good to see Akpom making an impact, despite his poor final ball/finish.
Good to see us doing that again
Carzola will get runner up for player of the year.....must keep™
Ozil needs to feel he is loved and performances like that will go someway to bringing a lot of us on board......
Giroud haters talk out their arses IMO......he does make you thin WTF at times but who doesn't....he a much better player than when he first came.....an important member of the team
I really liked what we saw of Akpom......unfortunately his emergence could spell the end of Sanogo
Ok sign me up to the Coquelin fanclub. Another game he completely bossed today and he was especially great in the first half when we were virtually camped out in their half and Aston Villa tried to break on a few occasions. Usually we'd get caught out but Coq was there doing his best Gandalf, "you shall not pass" impression. Still don't think we can risk not getting in a world class DM (especially considering Arteta's age) but I'm not sure he'd be able to displace Coq. He's probably been the best DM in the league for the past month.
Can't really fault any player today. All superb. Coq, Ospina, Monreal, Bellerin and Santi have really earnt their places in the starting line up and don't deserve to be dropped for the NLD.
Only minor concern was the lack of ruthlessness up front, especially in the first half. Like MS said, we really could have and ought to have won that 12 - 0. Didn't cost us but it may do in a tighter game ........ we need to take our chances and convert our dominance into more goals.
I must have been watching a different game if we only had 48% of the ball.
You came round quick...
I don't agree with those saying Monreal has been faultless all season....I think that is an incredible claim, but he certainly has been fantastic of late. Didn't really believe he had this level of performance in him for this period of time, so I'll admit to being wrong about him.
Nice not only to win and keep a clean sheet but to be genuinely entertained by the game.
When in the final 15 minutes were 4-0 and cruising, Santi Cazorla became the ring master in a circus performance (one devoid of clowns if you exclude Aston Villa) and with Akpom and Bellerin as the flying acrobats.
We were clearly showboating, but when you're so totally in control and the game is over as a competition it's fun.
Thats bbc statsI must have been watching a different game if we only had 48% of the ball.
