The clean sheet impresses me the most, though. Against a side that have been scoring for fun with the most in-form striker in the world, keeping a clean sheet has made me feel well-chuffed.

Cech - 9 Monreal - 6 Merts -8 Koscielny -8 Bellerin - 9 Coquelin - 8 Carzorla -7 Sanchez 6 - had a fitness issue though Ozil - 8 Walcott -7 Chamberlain - 7 Gibbs -8 Giroud -9
He is fast becoming a really important part of the team. He is an incredible signing. We may have had to wait for years to sign a really top keeper but the one we waited to sign really could be the difference for us. Cech is a brilliant keeper and recently he has made some very important saves for us. I'm really pleased with the signings we have managed to pull off in recent years. Ozil from Madrid, Sanchez from Barca, Cech from Chelsea.... Who would of thought it.
Now we know what it feels like to be the side against Arsenal. Just sit back, let the team have the ball, pass the ball to death, and get hit on the counter and a set piece lol.
Wenger got the tactics spot on today and has done it against City, Chelsea, Bayern and Utd in the last year or so. Good signs that we are adapting to the opposition and getting results against the big teams. Great sub bringing on Giroud when he did as well. Same with Gibbs. Serious credit to Wenger for the way he played things today.
Kinda thought he looked a weak link today. I guess a 6 is a bit harsh. Ozil really impressed me again. Particularly in the second half - he was literally everywhere. Also was amazed to see Bellerin smoking Costa for pace. (many consider Costa the fastest player in Germany)
It does go to show though.. Our squad is really set up for the counter attacking game. We should always play that way in Europe.
Ozil this season has been something else... In fact since returning from injury last season he has been just incredible to watch. I find it hard to find superlatives worthy enough for the way he plays football lol
We need to hire the entire bus company from all of England when we go to Munich, we already know they like to have the ball, but this will be the first time we go to Munich when they are a wounded animal. Usually when we have played them away, the tie was usually settled, but this time, they will have to go for it, so we will have to be as sharp as ever.
And you predicted 1-0 to the Arsenal didn't you? I'm happy with my points for predicting we would win
I'm expecting to see a ridiculous attacking display against us in the next game. Robben will likely be back too and it's going to be an insane game. They will be out for blood.
