    Time to bust this old bad boy out.

    Pros
    - We beat a good side in Swansea away from home
    - Serge Gnabry looks at home in the first team, therefore we have some more cover now
    - Ramsey scored again, and ran the game in the 2nd half
    - Aside from one daft moment, Chez looked assured
    - We're top with a thin squad

    Cons
    - Giroud struggled for the 2nd game in a row
    - Ozil wasn't really a factor today
    - No clean sheet
    - Got outplayed quite a few times
    - Ramsey still has an annoying accent

    Again - an ignorant post. Oliver Giroud is ranked 4th in the league of all players on the official PL website and is the joint top scorer in the league. On top of that, he puts in all the other work as well.

    Now this is a WUM post because there is absolutely no merit in it. No real Arsenal fan is going to say that the officially ranked 4th best player in the league, and the joint top scorer is not top quality, unless he is a WUM.

    Honestly, I don't know why the mods put up with you.

    Football is a team game. When you work that out, you will understand so much more.

    You really don't get it at all do you?

    Giroud scores 4 games in a row, CBs tighten up on him, Ozil assists and is the big threat, defences tighten up on him. other people get more space.

    For **** sake watch the game. You are criticising players when you aren't watching them, you are just watching the ball.

    You are the strange one. You claim to be an Arsenal supporter and then try really hard to criticize as many players as possible after every game. That is not normal.

    Ah, you got me there.

    I don't think he has got the hang of playing on the left quite yet. He doesn't have the understanding of the position to beat his full-back and he couldn't seem to get his movement right to bring Gibbs into the game.

    I find it hard to be too critical of him, because he is learning the position, but I hope Cazorla and/or Podolski make it back soon.

    Edit: Monreal or Gibbs must be getting really close to starting there.

    Why do i bother? I watched all 94+ minutes today, and made my observations based on what i saw, and judging by what my fellow posters are saying, they seem to agree with me. I'm treating you as a wum from now on. I can take positivity, but yours is fake and designed to incite ill feeling.

    I'll try this step-by-step, just for my own ****ing sanity.

    1. Giroud wasn't marked out of the game, he had numerous passes into his feet that he messed up, and he lost numerous aerial duels.
    2. Ozil wasn't marked out of the game, he saw plenty of the ball, he just didn't create what was expected of him. As our marquee player, it should be up to him to take the fight to the opponents, not an 18 year old making his 2nd league start.
    3. Swansea didn't man-mark anyone, they marked zonally. It is up to the player to find space in that zone.

    About 30% of your posts (and Cym's) are these types of "you are not a true believer" bullshit posts. So the rest of us are just not dogmatic enough to be football supporters by your definition. We get it. Stop repeating it in every ****ing thread.

    Very simplistic. Honestly, you have to stop this ****, because you are just making a fool of yourself. We win away from home (deservedly) at a tough opponent, and you are expecting every player to win every duel, no matter how things shape up, it is simply ridiculous.

    Giroud is ranked as high as he is on these websites, because he is winning so many 50/50 balls and clearances up the pitch. You are simply not telling the truth. I don't disagree with you that Ozil did not have his best game, but you are far too cut and dried in your analysis.

    Arsenal played a first-class game to beat Swansea, and making out that Swansea are ****, and we scored on them twice, with a left-wing that was not able to play the position well, and both forwards playing crap, is simply farcical and a little insulting to them.

    As usual you go haring off into superlatives in both directions, the bad and the good.

    Disappointed to lose that game - but Arsenals extra bit of class in attack and solid defence was the difference. Not sure if you are a Premiership winning team, but with everyone else at the top dropping points, why not? <ok>

    No, you stop criticizing our players that are ranked the best in the league and playing well. Either support the team, or **** off back to the Spurs board where you can meet similar minded people!

    You are not supporting Arsenal by anyone's definition! Complaining that Giroud is not scoring enough goals when he is joint top scorer of the league and Arsenal are rated the most clinical finishers in the league, is ******ed.

    Edit: You even have the Swansea fans saying we had that extra bit of class in attack FFS.
