Both Lansbury and Oxo ran the show last night. Lansbury with 2 assists and a goal. Oxo with 2 assists. Thoughts, if any?
I always liked Lansbury and when he has played for us has looked good. God knows why there are rumours of him being sold?!?! Oxo was dangerous on the wing and Henderson scored a fantastic goal. The way he moved into a bit of space and blasted the ball past a crowd of defenders was impressive.
His corner taking was excellent. Seems to get the curl and placement right every time. Maybe a little extra pace on those balls would see that aspect being up there with the best. He also has an acute awareness of where the goal is as shown by his two goals which both relied on instinctive shots. He displayed great vision in several of the chances he created. We have to give him his chances, he just deserves them too much. Ox looks impressive too. He makes his mind up very quickly, reacts well and holds his balance to deliver decent balls.
Lansbury looking good, actually crossing to the middle rather than most arsenal players hitting the first man or over everyone! great bits of skill from OXO, but he looks like a 40 year old man!
