    Good half against a very poor opposition.

    Give Campbell a run out in the 2nd

    Lol at Sanchez's shorts. He needs those shorts from the 80's.

    Granted Galatasaray have been awful. However we need to hold back from bashing the opposition every time we play well. We have been much improved today.

    Really good half for Arsenal and Welbeck and Sanchez in particular. Galatasaray have been ****, but that shouldn't distract from how well we have played. We did everything that we didn't do against Spurs, i.e. speed up the play, get balls in behind the defence and get runners to open up spaces.

    Good stuff, more of the same in the 2nd half please <ok>

    Good first half, taking our chances. That's 5 goals in his last 6 appearances by Sanchez, he IS our best attacking player at the moment, and another assist down for Ozil. Also Welbecks second goal was very Thierry Henrish style.

    This is exactly what we need.

    The team needed a good confidence boost.

    Would take off Sanchez, Ozil and Welbz asap. Bring on Campbell, Podolski and Rozza. Game is won. No need to risk injuries.

    Great half of football there from Arsenal, that's what we want to see.

    Welbeck and Sanchez have both been very lively and had great games, cool finishes all round. They are making themselves a nuisance.

    I said before the game I wanted to see ozil and Cazorla together in the middle and it's worked really well, they have controlled the passing and momentum of the game. Along with Sanchez and Welbeck they have been our best players.

    Oxocube has been working really hard. His pressing and running have been very good and a couple of his runs showed great skill to beat his man.

    Chambers has been very good. He's got forward really well and shown good control of the ball. Gibbs has played well too.

    Our CBs, dm and gk haven't had much to do really.

    Galatasaray should be down to ten men, it was a terrible challenge from melo, no idea how he hasn't been sent off there. Thought it was then harsh to book flamini who won the ball, though shouldn't have gone in like that, in Europe refs are always going to give a free kick for that sort of challenge and it was on the edge of the opposition box, not particularly clever.

    The Galatasaray fans have been right ****s, trying to ruin our beautiful pitch with there flares. Though the Galatasaray players reacted well to try and calm the fans. In contrast I think our fans have been great, very vocal, lots of chanting and the oooooolay's at 3-0 up gave me a laugh, encouraging showboating!

    Overall very happy with the game so far.

    Nah, keep em on until 70 minute mark, let's score 6 and get a good GD. A Welbeck hayrick would do him very good right before we face Chelski.

    Today you can play Ozil-Cazorla together in the middle, but no way VS Chelski, it all depends on the type of opposition you face, today it can be done.

    Based on what I see, come Sunday I'd start Diaby alongside Flamini and drop Cazorla, keep everything else the same.

    I thought the same. Very quick and composed finish into the bottom corner. It was like winding the clock back to 2002
