I dunno what your talking about, all seem like popular internet talk. You only have to know where your team mates are. Pass it back, sideways or go forward.

I've seen enough of Xhaka to make those statements mate. He is slow and cannot handle being pressed.

Yes, he isnt a holding player, but it should not be a deciding factor IMO. He is a target for the opposition to exploit, especially when turning the ball over close to our goals.

lol one was for Hammers

Oh Im not watching the game. I thought he assisted the first goal today for Monreal.

 

[morpho]

Danny Welbeck looks so much like Wesley Snipes, its scary

 

[Makingtrax]

Knew this would be a difficult game. But we came through it.

Have faith in Emery.

 

[NieThePiet]

I will take the three points for the confidence.
But hoepfully Emery will not speak about a good game from us.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

First win. Long work ahead defensively still awful

 

[Camron]

Lacazette needs to start alongside Aubameyang. Auba from left is more dangerous than upfront in our team.

 

[dashsnow17]

Three points and a two goal margin is the most important thing, but f*ck me that was not enjoyable. That was a terrible performance, sub-par from pretty much everyone. I was expecting much better. A lot of work to do on the training ground.

I think he did actually, forgot! I was talking about how bad he played in the first half.

 

[Rimaal]

Finally a win, though ugly.

 

[TorontoGooner76]

3-1 to the good guys

Poor form for me to quote my own post, but I'm very happy with the victory

 

[Gooner Zig]

We need to improve big time if we want to finish in the top 4.

 

[Ceballinhos]

There was an obvious lack of confidence from our players.

Next game should be much better.

Bellerin and Mustafi are worrying.

It's good that he is a target, w he the press him, draw them into him. He releases it. That's too player out the game for the opposition.

 

[OnlyOne]

Props again to Cech, mans keep lots of goals out atm.

 

[Gooner_girl14]

Good win in the end, but it's going to take a big effort to fix our defensive frailties. We have to start Auba and Laca together, and bringing Torreira on for Guendouzi was the right move, think Emery got his subs right. Of all our CFs, I didn't think Welbeck would be the first to score this season.

 

[Garrincha]

Great to get three point & really pleased for Emery.

I am more worried about our level after watching that though. Too open, too many breaks on us & really a lack of athletic ability throughout our team.

Lucas really helped the midfield second half & Cech did well first half.

 

[Fewtch]

Ramsey screaming for the ball even though he was in a worse position to score than Welbeck

 

[BaZZe]

People will underestimate todays win I think. Very important for Emery as a new manager to get that monkey of his back. We can only go upwards from here.

 

[MLK79]

Arsenal currently in the lofty position of 11th. I can really see us doing something from there.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Unai stop f**king around and start Torreira and Laca they both made us better when they on. Torreira even made xhaka look comfortable ffs
