Offical match day thread

[gooner4ever]

Basically we parked the bus and took our chances when they came, and then defended resolutely till the end - just like Spurs did against us. In the Spurs game we had all the possession and chances but only scored once, and then made 2 mistakes.
Jose got loads of plaudits for doing against us, and all I hear is “on the beach” comments from the “ we are nailed on for 3 points and points record”. Media and VAR both dislike is

This was obviously over a long time ago but...

that Leicester result means we will officially not be in the champions league for a fourth season running.

Good Podcast here...

Discuss Saka, Guendouzi, Arteta and transfer plans.

 

[NLDISRED]

Holding has to be in the starting line up tonight, I don't know what he sees in kola. Also I wouldn't be against pepe being dropped for saka on the right auba on the left and laca through the middle

 

[NLDISRED]

From the line up I can't tell if we are going with a back three or four I'm hoping it's a four and AMN in midfield

 

[NLDISRED]

I think it's a three actualy AMN to nullify Mahrez cutting inside like he done against traore.

 

[NLDISRED]

Xhaka giving debruyne a lesson in how to be a midfielder

 

[TheBear]

Back three is proving to be an inspired change.

Played really well that half!

 

[NLDISRED]

Pepe looks abit tired, Saka coming on soon I think

Mahrez off, well done Ainsley

 

[TheBear]

Tierney is basically a cross between Roberto Carlos and Paulo Maldini.

 

[TheBear]

Auuuubbbbaaaaa

 

[TheBear]

David Luiz has been magnificent.

 

[NLDISRED]

I have a confession to make, I secretly doubted Arteta I thought he was an ego maniac like pep without the coaching nous. I sincerely apologise, back to back wins against Liverpool and City I'm lost for words

 

[TheBear]

Yeeeaahhh Boi

Auba and Tierney masterclass

 

[NLDISRED]

I'm blown away really am every single player can be proud of themselves

 

[TheBear]

David Luiz looks a different player in a back three.
Last two games he's been absolutely outstanding.

Overall great performance.

We were brilliant from back to front. Every player worked their socks off and stuck to the task. It was a master class in tactics from Arteta and he's proving that he's got what it takes to mould us into a team that can challenge.

The apprentice has out foxed the master. Take a bow son

 

[BrunelGunner]

What a win - what a performance. Absolutely superb by everyone.

I couldn't be more proud of the manager and the players tonight.

Beaten Klopp and Pep in a matter of days - I could get used to this.

Let's rally the troops, end the season strong and then win our 14th FA Cup

Absolutely buzzing!

 

[white_gunner]

Wow.

this is the first result that actually makes me think Arteta might actually be having an effect.

if he wins the FA cup I’ll be a true believer.
