Arsenal are losing focus. We need another goal to kill this game. The last thing we need is a replay.
If you see Coquelin that way good for you. I mean I guess everyone has their fetishes.I'm using my iPhone and that is the auto correct for Coquelin
Really good half from Arsenal. Nice crisp passing and incisive play. Two great goals from our lads just back from injury. It could have been 3 or 4 to be honest. Just need to keep up this intensity for the first 20 mins in the second half and not give Brighton any chance to get back in to it.
Very good opening 35 mins or so. Then we stepped off the pedal a bit and let Brighton back into the game. Before that they had nothing. If we can come flying out of the blocks for the first 15 mins or so and get a 3rd, that will kill this game off. Then sit deep when we don't have the ball, keep it well and slowly probe when we do and maybe the 4th will come.
Again, after Sanchez, Rosicky IMO has been one of our most important players when he is fit. He offers so much class and his work rate is phenomenal. It's a shame how injuries have hampered his career but having said that, he has always been vital to us.
It's clear though that Flamini does not offer the required protection for the back four.
He drifts in and out of position - does'nt seem to read the game very well.
