how so? he mad one flap in the first half, but dealt with everything else that he could have. the corner was not his fault. he can't do anything about it. and bent's goal he made a fantastic one-handed save and got unlucky that the ball didn't go for a corner.
Super comeback. Needed to show some fight and they did. Ends an awful run and hopefully get confidence back. GREAT to see Sagna back.
Great to see us back to winning ways. Hopefully this will give us a much needed confidence boost and help us kick on in the league. Good to see Bacary back at the back.....
I thought he did okay today. I won't deny he makes me nervous. But he was pretty solid. Nothing he could have done for either goal really, he did well to save Bent's initial shot too. I think the confidence boost for the team will be worth it's weight in gold. COYG !
Robin van Persie has gone past Dennis Bergkamp in the all time goal scoring list for us. DB - 120 RVP - 121.
Just so as you know, irony =/= sarcasm. Irony is something that is counter-intuitive. Coming on an Arsenal board and seeing someone praising Wenger's tactics would not be considered counter-intuitive. Mind you, I suppose on this forum...
I like the way that we pressed the Villa defence from the off. I thought we were unlucky to go in two down at half time. Villa had only had 4 shots and 37% of possession, to our 6 shots and 63%. We didn't defend the first properly and the second was a sucker punch. Great credit to Wenger and the team for turning it around, we continued to press, we didn't panic and make mistakes and we got our reward. Well chuffed for the lads
Also great to see Arteta back. You see the difference he brings to the team. Calm influence in that midfield.
Two penalties (which I admit were well taken) and a flukey deflection against a mid table team AT HOME. Come on people, I'm happy we won but let's not paper over the cracks.
...and you know what was 'really meant' how? Surely all we can do is look at the posters history and judge from that?
