Completely different set of players compared to last seasons same players with a couple of changes!
Playing with more freedom and less of that handbrake that Wenger obviously took away with him....
Nice to be BACK ABOVE Tottenham!.... :barscarf:

Funny how, by all accounts Wenger gave them the freedom to play how they like and do what the liked, yet we always played with such fear and lack of self belief. Wenger sucked the life out of them.

And the ENIGMA of Wenger lives through the ones that cannot accept the fact that he actually held the club to ransom for the past decade!...
Onwards and upwards eh!....

Pace and energy the dozy and bangbang brought made all the difference imo :barscarf: :barscarf:

Ozil was absolutely sublime - too good to put it in words really 8)

Feel sorry for laca cos he worked his nuts off without scoring a goal

Needs to be recognised too that xhaka did well at left back :shock: :shock: :shock:

Douzi is such an exciting talent. Who's more exciting between himself and Nelson?

It just seems the players and even the crowd have awoken from a Wenger induced coma.

Excellent second half. Ozil man of the match. Bellerin with some good crosses. Xhaka did well at LB. Torreria is awesome. And the Iwobi rebirth is going strong.

I'm absolutely stunned by how much I enjoyed that last 50 minutes or so. I haven't seen us play like that in years. That was fucking beautiful at times. Ozil to Aubameyang was at times like watching Pires to Henry. It feels like a new dawn has finally broken. We're getting The Arsenal back one game at a time.

Only slight negative is that i wish they'd start matches the way they play the second half, even now we seem a little laggy/unsure for the first 25-30 mins then we seem to wake up and start playing.... but all in all 10 straight wins isn't anything to sniff at :barscarf: :barscarf: :barscarf:

Absolute buzzing with us going forward. Ozil really showed the class he has and his confidence seems to be growing which can only be a good thing. Iwobi is giving everything he can. He isn't the greatest quality wise but you can see he's trying to take on board what emery wants.

We really need to get to the bottom of why we start so slowly because our luck is gonna run out soon on that front. How they didn't get a pen i don't know.

I'd like to see ghendouzi get a chance with Torreira from the start to see if we can get more of a foothold from the off. Xhaka covered well at left back but he just makes so many mistakes and it will always outweigh the good things he does.

The atmosphere around the place now is just tremendous compared to previous seasons it's a pleasure.

As shit as we were in the 1st half, that was some performance in the 2nd. Emery's big strength is his in game management, and unlike when wanker was in charge, he doesn't just hope that the players will figure it out. As others have said, the dread of having to watch us play pointless side to side football for the last few seasons has been replaced by the joy of watching a well coached team, playing to their potential. I don't know where this season will go, but i'm going to enjoy it, as i have waited long enough to be proud to support this club again. COYG :barscarf:

It comess to something when you start getting excited when Iwobi gets the ball.
