There I said it would be easy and it was easier than i thought. i think the arsenal goalkeeper only had one save to make and Arsenal really should have scored 6 or 7 with the opportunities they had. Coquelin was not only good today he was outstanding and totally shut down Silva and Koscienly took care of Aguero all game. Arsenal playing like that are easily capable of winning the league and even the CL (but you might lose to Real )
Bellerin and Ospina both look quality. Coq has been surprisingly good. Crazy we had Walcott and Ozil on the bench and didn't need either of them.
What a performance that was. Pure brilliance. Well done Wenger, you proved me wrong today. Perfect set up, perfect performance.
Absolutely amazing result ! I said that we could do it and we did. Great for Wenger who showed that he can adapt against the big teams and win away from home. For all the slating he's been getting, he deserves a lot of credit for this result.
Bellerin is unreal, tie that ****er down to a massive contract, because Barca are bound to come in for him.
Some comments on the match. Wenger got the team tactically spot on today. High energy players down both flanks to cope with the pace and movement of City's forwards and wingers. Silva had one of his worst games in a City shirt. Coquelin was really up for the game. City looked off the pace overall but we played extremely well.. one of the best away performances I have seen from us in a long long time. I must admit I was wrong about our chances.. I didn't think we could win or take anything, but we did...
Solid performance, dare I say perfect from Arsenal. Wanted a City win or a draw but credit where it's due. Your form together with today's result can only be a massive boost for the confidence to the team. Game on
Like I said previously, I am not Wenger's biggest fan, but he set the team up perfectly today. He deserves a lot of credit for his tactics today. He proved me and a lot of other people wrong - we ARE capable of digging deep and counter attacking. It just begs the question why we didn't try this earlier on in the season. In fact, had we performed like that away from home last season in the big games, we could have won the title!
We have a week's rest, and after the cup game, another weeks rest, so we should be looking to start as strong a team as possible, good game to introduce Walcott-Ozil, but I don't want see wholesale changes, 2-3.
True. I do think Theo and Ozil starting is a must. But at the same time guys who wouldn't normally start like Rosciky might get a sniff in.
Some of Rosicky's touches were really nice as well - I think this shows that (besides Debuchy and Arteta) what we are like when we get close to full fitness. Our defence has been in pieces all season, but now Bellerin is maturing well, Kos and Merts partnership is back, we have Chambers - its settled and Coq looks awesome and has proved me wrong. And we'll have Ozil, Cazorla, Walcott and Ramsey to take the pressure off Sanchez!
Great result guys. As good for us as it was for you too I think. Very good tactical wise from Wenger too, I have criticised him a lot in the past on his tactics, but hands up, he got it spot on today. Well done.
