Bellerin is little bit awesome.

Bellerin and Campbell starting to form a good little partnership down that right side now - lovely one-two on that second goal.
Also, love how calm Campbell is in front of goal at times...
Campbell![]()
Campbell is a talented player, anyone with eyes could see that even before he performed for us, the way he played for his country and other clubs are testament to that.
Not surprised to see him doing well, but very happy he is, but in the end only injuries to players less talented let him have an opportunity which he then duly took.
Yep. Campbell is another great signing by Wenger.

Only just watching the highlights. Nice assist from Theo and tidy finish from Campbell for the first goal.
Brilliant team goal for the second. What a ball from Campbell.
Bellerin with a good second assist and finish from Giroud.
We shouldn't have conceded that first goal. Kos at fault for that one. Short pass from Gibbs but Gibbs had nowhere to go. Kos had enough time to pass it to Ox and could see the option but didn't choose to pass first time.
Good to hear Campbell played well. Solid player. Ox got a game in the middle. Seems like he has lost that wide position but can't judge on how well he player down the middle from highlights. On to the next round.
I thought Iwobi was pretty good and quite a force in midfield. I looked up at times to see him bursting through and thought Diaby had snuck back into the ranks.
Kristian Bieliek (sp?) must be further away than I thought not to be involved at all though...
Ashton at work:
"Arsenal survive scare against Sunderland"
"It was inspired by the magical boots of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, delivering a masterful performance from his favoured position in the centre of Arsenal’s midfield. He oozed class."
ARSENAL: Cech 6.5; Bellerin 7.5, Gabriel 7, Koscielny 6, Gibbs 6.5; Chambers 7 (Arteta 70, 6); Campbell 7.5 (Reine-Adelaide 80, 6), Oxlade-Chamberlain 8.5, Walcott 7; Iwobi 6.5 (Ramsey 70, 7); Giroud 7.5
We're not living in a world of opinions any more. We're living in a world of outright fantasy driven by agendas and the fuckers with the loudest voices are literally painting a reality around us. This is where the Rooney myth originated, this is why Barkley is the next big thing, this is why the jury is still out of Ozil. It's also why governments are democratic and the poverty gap is a sign of a thriving economy and why thieves can get away with it if they wear a tie.
But back to reality.
Walcott and Giroud put in shameful performances and ranked 3 and 4 respectively, Bif higher because he got a goal once he had woken up.
Campbell and Iwobi stepped in to the gap left by the former two going missing.
Ox was undisciplined for the whole match and you could often see him wide left or right having left Iwobi to the be the calmer head on even younger shoulders. It was an extremely mature performance from the kid and he looked great on the ball, very fluent, very composed. But he's not English whereas Ox is, and if you don't think that factors into Ashton's pig agenda then you're dreaming.
Chambers was very, very ordinary. But he didn't make any mistakes so good enough for yesterday against a totally uncommitted Sunderland but nowhere good enough as cover for Coquelin.
As for us being scared, I think every fan knew (before the game and after) this would be a stroll. It turned out to be an even more sedate meander when Sunderland didn't show up. We even scored for them but they offered nothing. People were saying during the match thread, after we went a goal down, this would be an easy win. And so it turned out. That's why the crowd was so quiet. It was all routine. There was never any fear and nobody was scared or had to survive a scare.
What SHIT reporting by a piece of SHIT.
Für eure Sicherheit
Ramsey and Ox really need to have a look at what's going on at the moment - while they're dicking around trying to be the next Steven Gerrard, Wenger is signing up new central midfielders, and Campbell is quietly making that RW spot his own. Wake up call guys: the top sides don't want Steven Gerrard type midfielders any more! I'm not sure the very best sides ever did...
