I actually quite enjoyed that half, more so than most matches I have witnessed this season. mainly due to the lack of tip tap, pointless possession for 10 mins before playing it back to Cech - we have often played a lofted ball over the midfield completely.
There is a lot of workrate and effort being put in, which makes a huge change - just not quite had the final ball to finish, Sanchez could / should have had two before he scored.
Gibbs, despite having weeks and weeks of training to practise, still cant cross a ball for shit.
Ox has played well.
Our defensive plan is to back off and let the opposition get to the penalty box before we decide to challenge / close ranks which is not a good tactic
Really thought that after some of Wenger's comments in the week (and results) there might be at least a hint of some fan discontent, but haven't heard a single peep against dear old Arsene. As another poster once said, you get the club you deserve, so it's these people at the Emirates today who need to be careful what they wish for.

We should be happy beating a bottom 3 team with injuries and new signings to 'bed-in' etc

Oh yeah, sorry, had forgotten that today is the "turning point in our season"!
Ever notice how Wenger chooses the home games against relegation fodder as the "turning point" games... wouldn't have been Chelsea away, or Tottenham away etc.

Personally if we're going for results as turning points, i'd say Everton away, City away and Chelsea away were pretty crucial, but then i don't have 30 odd years
Iwobi really grips my shit at the moment, he gets into great positions to attack players and instead passes the ball to the opposition or loses it, it happens far, far too often to justify his starting place in the squad
