It wasn't really a poor performance. We were never truly troubled by Sunderland as kept the pace slow as there was really no threat plus we had some good half chances to seal it earlier. Restrained yet controlled IMO. That being said I want to see us up the tempo more as even though we were comfortable we could have blitzed these guys with more urgency. Good to see Theo on the bench, Sancez MOTM, the CBs had a decent game as did the 2 CMs. Oxo had a poor game but when coming in as a sub he's been quality. Think Theo will take his spot when fully fit. Welbeck had a couple of chances to shoot but chose to be unselfish, eh could do with more shooting (he had that one chance that barely went over the bar) still like what he offers.
Was following this game on the BBC, as all the streams were utter crap, but the BBC seemed intent on reporting every single thing that twat Balotelli did against Hull. The obsession with that child is unreal.
Poor guy will get crucified here in England. Almost feel sorry for him. Was watching the Pool game on TV while watching ours on the laptop. He had a decent game and was denied by some good goalkeeping near the end. Not the best but he's showing improvement. Maybe the Madrid performance got him riled up.
3pts is 3pts. I'm happy with that. Not a good performance, in fact it was almost as bad as Anderleckt but you have to win games like that sometimes. Hopefully Ramsey and Arteta are getting closer to full fitness because our midfield needs them.
The focus today was on keeping things tight at the back after our recent defensive issues. We succeeded in that against a very poor Sunderland outfit. We lacked much fluency going forward but still managed to capitalize on the errors. Thankfully we had Sanchez.

Missed the game today. Other than Sanchez who is proving to be a brilliant signing by Wenger, who else had a good game ?
Need to ask you something. As we all know Man United players don't dive, Welbeck has never dived in his life. Now he's joined Arsenal he dives every match, soooooooooo, are Arsenal players told to dive by Arsen????
How can he dive in every match if he's never dived in his life? I have a question for you... What is the greater number... Rooney's IQ, waist size or number of remaining natural hair follicles on his head?
Didn't watch the game. However no-one apart from Sanchez played particularly well. Ox was bang average. Welbz is tired. Cazorla missed about 30 opportunities to kill the game. He just could not hit the target. Sczcezney was erratic. On the positive side, Mertesacker and Arteta played ok. There was a bit of a concern over Gibbs going off injured. I don't know what's happened there yet.
Will you be my GIMP??? Just a fantasy of mine that needs to involve an Arsenal supporter. PS may also involve you getting violated
