Can't believe how Emery is treating Lacazette...

Did he play well? I ****ing forgot it was an early kick off and only saw the last 5 minutes.

 

[Malky]

Hopefully Burnley and Dyche get relegated, anti-football ****s. Dyche is basically Mourihno mk2, want's his teams to be " physical " and get stuck in, but moans about the refs when other teams do it to him.
Comes across as a right miserable bellend as well. Ginger ****!

 

[Rex Stone]

Aubameyang is racking up the 90 minutes non stop.

Should have got him off and given Laca 90 mins for once.

Lol nah that was tongue in cheek, his workrate and hold up play was pretty good as usual but he lacked some sharpness in the box. He was quite angry coming off but I think it was more to do with the fact that he messed up a decent chance a few minutes before Burnley made it 2-1.

 

[MikeVinna]

Cant believe some of the **** these ****s got away with.. anyway good win. Glad to see Auba scoring again. Laca looked pissed to be subbed which I love. He offers us so much in terms of hold up play..

I mentioned this before but AMN is such a downgrade on Bellerin.

Told you Laca was next in the meltdown stakes . Players don't like being treated like chess pieces .

 

[Mitch]

Wood and Barnes should have both seen red before they were subbed off. A lot of good individual performances from the likes of PEA, Laca, Kola, Elneny, AMN, Sokratis and Özil.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Great game by Kola today, he's been so much better lately. Such a threat down the flank and always there to sort jabronies right out.

 

[A_G]

well in Unai

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

37 points still 5th its really unfair ffs we could finish 1st half of season with 40 points and still 5th

 

[Mo Britain]

Thing with Özil is that you always opt to take him off at the end to protect a lead, but his quality can double your lead just as much as the extra pressing midfielder/defender will be at protecting it.

if we can create a team that compensate his lack of defensive capabilities we will see the full benefits of him.

What is disappointing from Mesut is how easily he lets the opposing team gain possession without even making them work for it.

Two points in the second-half: first he goes on a good lung-busting run down the left but when the ball goes away from him a bit instead of trying to reach it (it was possible) he lets the Burnley guy have it and later on again the ball goes like four feet ahead of him it is almost a 50/50 except he doesn't even try to reach it.

On another occasion he just feinted at a tackle and it was enough to win us the ball. He doesn't have to be a tackler, he has other qualities, but he has to make the opposition work a bit more. Too often he is waiting for the ref to blow for fouls which don't come.

 

[Mo Britain]

Burnley were dirty as f*ck. Proper Brexit team that.

Hard is not always dirty. Barnes was dirty, Westwood borderline dirty.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

How Barnes wasn't sent off before he scored :rofl:

 

[yybecause]

Sokratis was the man

 

[OnlyOne]

I mentioned this before but AMN is such a downgrade on Bellerin.

Well what do you expect.

 

[A_G]

Told you Laca was next in the meltdown stakes . Players don't like being treated like chess pieces .

Emery has to find a way to make it work with both of them in the team, at least for this season until he can get a winger in during the summer window. Otherwise there's too much pressure on Auba to get all the goals, as we saw on Wednesday night.

Under Wenger at the end of last season nobody on here thought they couldn't play together, Unai needs to adapt.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Enjoyed the game. Seen a lot of Arsenal sides wilt under that type of aggression in the past. Good performance from Özil. 3 pts / onwards and upwards.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

well in Unai

Gave him that upper arm squeeze all dads use when the son's been acting out.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Well what do you expect.

I know it’s not his natural position but the amount of free space he’s been given in that area in the past few games and done nothing with it just goes to show the importance of Bellerin in this side.
