If he can stop Ceballos spinning like a top every time he gets the ball and plays it after 1 touch - he would be better than Willian AND he can make things happen.
What a result, I would have ripped Arteta had we lost so he deserves huge credit. He set us up properly, and the key was no Xhaka. Delighted to end the long wait for a win away against those *word censored*. COYG

Ain't that the truth buddy? If this game hasn't made Arteta see that gormless tool for what he is, nothing ever will. Partey and Elneny were outstanding and the whole win was based around the dominance and composure they showed together. That Swiss moron couldn't dominate his washing up and has the composure of a five year old in the pick n mix aisle - fuck off Xhaka, fuck off Mustafi......give them both the Ozil treatment and we may, just may, have a bit of fresh hope
Other than Martinelli in for Laca then I’d like to see us stick with this starting line up for a while.
Hopefully Willian will improve. He s a good player but has been pretty awful for us so far.
Leno looked better today too. On a day where Martinez conceded 4 (haven’t see no the goals so he may not have been at fault) maybe (hopefully) Leno will prove to be the better keeper long term.
Oh and as for the Sir Matt Busby quote on the banner behind the goal ‘’football without fans is nothing’’ ... that was a Jock Stein quote. Fucking thieving northern bastards

It was a huge win of that there is no doubt, and no doubt that swapping xhaka with elnenny was a big factor in that, but lets be honest and say that decision was the only thing that arteta did differently from previous games - same front 3, same sit back tactics, was forced into starting holding cos of injuries, so it was no masterstroke from the manager that inspired this win.
I will also add that auba was poor today imo - the two c.unts alongside him were absolute shit, but auba's effort was very poor imo.
£70m for Thomas & Gabriel is already looking like outstanding business.What you think
Partey’s reading of the game and his body positioning when he gets the ball are very similar to Vieira 20 years ago and Gabriel's understanding of how to defend and what you need to do is like everything we've needed for 20 years.
Good away win. The Arsenal controlled the match really well. Midfield looked strong. After the sequence of missed chances in the first half thought we had blown it. Saka did well as well as the Gabriel and Partey. I'd give it to Elneny though because he just kept stopping manure from gaining any momentum. In the 91st minute when he just kept showing shaw onto his right side knowing he can't use his right foot was the type of defending in the 91st minute we have lacked for a very long time. Didn't commit the foul Xhaka would've done.
We deserved this win. I don't think we deserved to lose last week against leicester after we blew them away without scoring in the first half.
Only a point off the top 4 at the moment, and after the run of games we have just had think we are in a better position than we would have expected to be.
Don't think its a coincidence Pochettino is the special guest on MNF with ole losing control of the wheel.
As december approaches we are in the gaggle of clubs separated by one point, and I think things will kick on and I hope we are in the leading pack.
