Before that he did everything he could to get an assist for them !
Well he has been practicing for 5 seasons now...so it's about time it came off.
We look much more solid with Elneny and Coquelin in the team. Its clear we were struggling at the back, so reinforcing the centre with two holding players has had good effect. Its good tactics by Wenger, especially with Ramsey back out wide were his lack of positioning doesnt hurt as, yet he still provides good energy. However its all reactive, these tactics are a reaction stemming from two shocking results. Managers need foresight to change things up before disaster happens.
I really hope we win. At least to deny Spurs, given they have to go to Chelsea, Liverpool and Stoke, whilst play Man United at home. There fixtures after this game are much harder than ours. Although, I kind of feel sick, willing a result simply to deny Spurs. Im reminded of the time they celebrated losing to Man United on the last day in 1999 - the scope of their lifes was seeing us fail. Now, we are limited to simply hoping Spurs fail.
The team better close it out. Losing a lead to Spurs will be more damming than if we didnt turn up and lost 3-0.

If it is anything like the other night it will be a nervy second half
Yes. ow many times do we go one up and lend up losing or drawing. Half the time because Wenger starts pulling our best players of 15 mns before the end and goes defensive!
