Arshavin disappeared in the 2nd half.

Vela,Edu and Eboue with great goals.

Song played ok, he's still slow though.

Can't understand RvP coming on.

burnley isn't a real trouble contender...tactically last 10 minutes very interesting...seeing arshavin behind theo and RVP...this could be an idea for further matches...or probably an option...

You can say that now but I bet I wasn't the only gooner expecting a much harder and closer game. I thought a draw was a real possibility and then a horrible replay in lancs. I am now a very happy gooner for one of the few times this season. :barscarf: :barscarf: :lol:

Alex Song had his best game in an Arsenal shirt - albeit that doesn't say too much when you consider his normal form and the poor opposition. Nevertheless, credit where credit is due. He was very good today in almost all departments - intercepting, breaking up the opponents play and most especially with his passing. :shock:

Even though Eboue started off brightly, winning free-kicks and even managing to score :shock: , I felt his passing was again poor too many times and his decision making equally suspect. As for his tracking back - which Eboue's defenders on here always claim is his real attribute - it was almost non-exisitent. Still, I suppose everything's alright now with some seeing as he finally managed to put a decent effort on target!! :roll: :banghead:

Although I don't want to be a sour-puss and overall was happy with the result, I felt we were off the pace a little bit today and very sloppy with the ball on too many occasions. I for one was thankful that the opposition today were/played shit, as I think a good side might have exploited the lackadasicalness in our players attitude today. :? :lol: :wink:

It's amazing but believe it or not - apart from the goals - I wasn't able to enjoy the match too much because of the sloppy play and attitude I mentioned above. And I was spliffed-up as well!! :shock: :? Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist!! :? :roll: :lol: :wink:

Song was amazing today. The 2 assists were brilliant and he dominated the midfield like a monster.

Clearly he has alot of talent.

Just got back from the game, even though he had 2 assists, (and played much better in the 2nd half than the 1st) his overall play is still very slow, and his tracking back pretty much non-existent.

Let's face it he is just warming up the berth ready for Fab to come back. I really hope he doesn't play in midweek against Roma.

Talent? I'm afraid I don't see it.

Song played well today against a championship side maybe he has found his level.I hope he is playing in the championship next season.But he is still not good enough to be playing in the premiership whatever he did today The same goes for Eboue
