They've ridden their luck in all games bar the victims game. That one the only real blemish was how the hell Senderos stayed on the pitch. They have scored 3 goals from from something ridiculous like 6 shots on target.

Being clinical in the first half won us the game. Then we just controlled it.

I'm with Brady's left peg why the hell did our Fbs need to be so high up when we were 0-3 up.

Like I said before he doesn't do tactics,otherwise we could have been counterattacking for fun.

Anyway clean sheet,well done everyone and f**k Villa and their twattish fans.

Cracking result to win comfortably away from home to one of the league's form teams on the weekend after a European game.

Watching Liverpool huffing and puffing against West Ham as evidence of that.

Love that performance, got the game won, before half time. Ozil showed the difference in his game, when he is played centrally. I think Welbeck adds a lot more to the team, than Giroud, because he has pace, and his passing was excellent,but undoubtedly once he(Giroud) is fit, Welbeck will be benched, but don't want to complain about Wenger today, gonna enjoy this win.

Haven't seen any of the game (after spending the last 2 hours trying to turn on the wireless part of my laptop :x ) but did villa look like a team riddled with a stomach bug ? SSN claimed that 2 of their players dropped out this morning, and another dropped out during warm up so you know that will be the excuse they peddle out :roll:

Villa started well tbh, had a great chance that Scezeney managed to save then (for once) we were clinical in a 5 min spell.

Ozil showed Wenger up and Welbeck took his goal well, game was over in the second half and we managed to see it out.

Can't really grumble today.

Strange game in the sense that we were poor first 30 minutes and then within 4 minutes we'd killed the game off. Ozil and Welbeck both getting a goal was a dream and despite being bullish about it after the game I think Wenger will give Ozil a bit more time at 10.

They may have been suffering with a bug but I still could not believe them second half. They were just not interested in trying to apply any pressure and Lambert basically confirmed afterwards he just wanted to avoid a 5 or 6 goal dicking. We managed the game well though, just controlled it and probed a bit. Odd subs mind, Ramsey should have gone off after an hour as he was a bit off the pace and he's always a danger on a yellow because he has a habit of getting caught the wrong side of the man, so to wait til 78 minutes to make 3 subs was weird.

Our set pieces are alarming though, we have really regressed. Going forward we just chuck the ball in the box and hope it falls for us, but our defending is shambolic. Great save from Szczesny but the bloke should never be getting a free header from there and there were a few other times when we just failed to deal with crosses. We are going to ship in goals from dead balls this season.

Subs came around the 76th minute mark, close enough. :wink:
