We just keep winning, imagine what weāll do when we start playing well!
Lessons learnt:
Holding and Iwobi deserve to be starting, performing better than some of the seniors and more importantly thriving under the new system too. Ozil needs to play the #10 role. But that is obvious.
Oh we got another clean sheet too, absolute scenes.
7 wins in a row, while the manager is still trying to tame the squad, figure things out, learn English and teach them how to play Emeryball :unai: haters gonna hate
Good result in the end, but 9 shots at home, with an own goal required to score the first, is still very bad.
Lots of work to be done. I would drop Xhaka or Torreira for Ramsey and use Ćzil as the #10. Canāt rely on the players being this clinical forever. The defensive double pivot adds little defensive control, as seen by how much these average teams still create.
Not only in this thread they chanted at him in the stadium apparantlyā¦
What a good home win Ladies and Gentlemen.
We might have been a tad fortunate but a very good win nonetheless.
Onwards and upwards
Love to win suffering. Thatās what you made a champion.
September once again proves to be a very strong month for Arsenal. So good to have that winning feeling right now. Weāre riding our luck but the team is really gaining traction and confidence the more wins weāre putting together.
Oh and judging by the posts in this thread, itās safe to say, itās a good job @shamrockgooner was at the game @Luca_from_Italy judging by some of your frankly over the top reactions today Please learn to control yourself mate.
Mate, NSBC were cock sucking fucking Troy Deeney. Couldnāt stand it
No one outside of Watford can stand Troy Deeney But you made your point after the first 5 times Luca so
It was a pretty drab performance till halfway through the second half of the game. Lots of silent nerves in the stands till we scored.
Credit to Watford who looked really organised. Dacoure looked a beast in the middle and was right on our players heels at every opportunity.
Massive shoutout to Rob Holding today, personally my MOTM. Look extremely composed at the right times, was winning aerial duels and making impprtant blocks and tackles throughout. He didnt put a foot wrong today.
My boy Laca is still on fire though. There was bemusement amongst the fans when Auba came off instead of Lacazette, but the substitutions turned out to be perfect. Moving Ozil through the middle and taking ineffective Ramsey off worked wonders, and Welbeck was awesome off the bench.
Late win but 3 points is 3 points. Five on the trot and we have great momentum now.
Canāt comment on the game as I didnāt see it but a hard fought win from us.
We never won 7 games in a row (all comps) last season ever so already an improvement!
Onto Baku right now
Tbh, a heck of a lot of our games have been lile that. Newcastle, Everton, Watford. All very drab, uninventive first halves. Better opposition would have picked us off at ease, as has been proven by both Chelsea and Man City.
We are very Wenger-like in the first half. We need to start like a house on fire, purposefully, and wanting to score in the first 10 mins. There doesnāt seem to be any signs of it at the minute
Our defense sucks ass but weāre actually fighting which is good to see. 4 points off top tied for 4th in points; this is going well imo. Weāll see what kind of loss Cech is.
The key change Iāve seen so far.
In Heathrow awaiting my plane home after a great day out.
Just watched the replay as I feel asleep about 15 mins in last night due to do much drinking on Grand Final day. Seems like Iām saying this every game now, yet another win with yet another unconvincing performance.
Only 4 points off the top now. I can smell the league title from here
I can still smell it too.
It was quite a while ago but it still smells good
Iām at a loss on how the comms could come to this conclusion. Other than itās Tony Gale and heās a biased brainless cunt. At the time of the incident I thought if the ref had gone talked to the lino heād have had no choice but to give Deeny the second yellowā¦which is why he didnāt go talk to himā¦
