Took our foot off the gas and it could've cost us but it's another away win, well chuffed.

Very good win - made a lot harder than it needed to be by switching off. Although I am one of his biggest critics Szczesny really stood up and took the pressure off us (just a pity about dicking round that time in the first half and his brainless distribution still). We played some very good stuff in the second half and were knocking the ball around whilst they were chasing shadows, but we stopped playing last 20 mins and were nearly punished overall.

Ridiculous that Giroud was kept on even though he was walking at the end - such is the paucity of our striking options that Wenger doesn't even trust any of them to come on to chase down defenders at the death. The first few games this season has shown that the league title really is there for the taking, but with Giroud as our only striking option we are going to fall predictably short. We have one striker and it's not even like he's world class, criminally negligent on behalf of Wenger.

Wouldn't say Flamini was awesome. I was watching him particularly carefully today and his decision-making in terms of when to press and when to sit is far better than anyone else would do in our squad in that role - but he was slack in possession on a number of occasions and got skinned once or twice when he did make the odd bad decision to chase the ball.

Agree with this, probably his worst game for us since he re-joined.

bit harsh :shock:
I don't think so mate - not slamming him or anything but it's just the nature of his role that he's going to get judged by the number of mistakes he makes rather than the number of moments of brilliance like an attacker. His role is a very important one to the team but it's not really the most difficult.

Sagna FFS you actually had a good game and yet you cost you and the rest of the team a well deserved clean sheet in tough game.

Well done boys even if you did start to piss about in the last 10mins.

Gnabry was excellent,Gibbs top,Ozil...well he was Ozil but thought Flamini was my man of the match.

Onward lads.

Cheers MOTD/Beeb you w**kers, we should be on first. :evil:
