Btw Aston Villa are a dark horse for relegation from the looks of it

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Villa are good side have good players to put 3 past them and 75 minutes dominate performance is very good sign but we did similar job against Sp**s before dropping off the next 2 games . We need to keep the momentum we playing 1 a week ffs.

 

[krengon]

one of our better performances, more of this.. Solid overall.

 

[Jury]

We should be 4th. I see good bits but then the ball arrives in an area where we lack quality and moves break down in clumsy fashion too many times. Just glad to get the points

 

[DUFFMAN]

We decided to sit back too much once 3-0 up. Makes us play worse every time.

 

[SA Gunner]

All I want for Christmas is an suffocating press.

Stop the opposition from playing through our front line, and we give ourselves options to work with.

"Arsenal might not thank me, but get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there and let him sign the contract and go. Mikel's at the wheel, man he's doing his thing. Arsenal are back!"

One of our better games. You just know they'll go and have a stinker against Leicester.

But Jesus Christ!
Aston Villa are terrible.

Can't believe how bad they were. £100m to spend too!

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

I'm happy with the win but we need to manage games better. At least we're scoring and nobody was a passenger. The weekend is already a good one.

Hope so. So much delusional hype from their insane fanbase that they're were going to challenge for the top 4 this season. Bar the United and Everton wins they've looked absolutely shocking this season.

Emi v Ronaldo and co...

Emi v Partey and co...

Good performance from front to back.

Our interplay up front needs to improve though. We were winning the ball well in midfield and could have had more if there was better decision making up front.

Lacazette was quality tonight. As was Tavares and Lokonga

 

[Tom Mix]

Happy with the win and with the way we pressed and worked harder. Result a bit deceptive, that was more of a 4-0 or 5-0 than a 3-1 and it was when we started winding down that we let them in with a goal.

The bench should have been moved quicker to maintain intensity but few complaints overall. ESR and Tavares the standouts.

 

[TriniGunner]

I think most our plsyers still don't have it in them play high intensity for 90 minutes most of them get dead leg lol

Player conditioning for high intensity games takes time. You rush it and you end up with a lot of muscle injuries.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Performance like today make you can't wait for next game just need the performance going 4 wins 2 draws last 6 games so it's been very positive turn out

 

[Makingtrax]

For me the best part of the game was the press. Get that right and things should really improve.

The goals were a bit lucky, dubious pen and a deflection with far too many wide shots.

Yes i think it getting there our players mostly young so it'll take time. Finding stability in line up is important

 

[The_Playmaker]

Pleased to see us press. Pretty clear that when we are in transition we look comfortable. When the defence are set we struggle.

The drop off defensively between Laca and Ødegaard was massive.

 

[Riou]

This is a good, Europa League level squad (we still have room to grow/improve sure) we can definitely take it to any team outside the Top Four.

Arteta needs to stop over-thinking things.
