Only watched the first 50 cos I had 5 a side but it was fun to watch us for once. Been arguing for Iwobi and Welbz for a while.
Complete vindication.

2-0 flatters Everton. With the penalty, wrongly disallowed goal and Jagielka having a great game it should of been a mailing.
I think we definitely learnt a lot from playing Barca. All season we've been slow and boring in possession. Then all of a sudden today we're doing one-touch tiki taka football around the box.
It was like we remembered how to play again. Long may it continue.

There was a clear difference in our play against Everton to the way we've been playing recently. Sanchez was releasing the ball quicker than usual, Bellerin was releasing the ball quicker than usual. So was Özil. Rewatch the start of the game, when was the last time you saw Sanchez move play along like that?Lmfao. Is this a serious post?
By playing Barca we all of a sudden remembered how to play tiki taka football? Is this actually what you’re saying? **** me, you should be pundit mate. You’d do well alongside Shearer and his ilk.
No ffs. Look at the players we had out there, against Barca and Everton. The common denominator is that all players are good on the ball, and have a comfortable first touch to receive the ball anywhere on the pitch. I saw Iwobi demand the ball in the pocket between their defence and midfield - how ****ing cool is that? Imagine a **** like Walcott do that, he’d lose the ball and we’d concede a goal on the counter probably.
El Neny, Iwobi, and Welbeck are Godsend. Exactly what we needed. All 3 are good in possession, and complement Mesut and Alexis very well. No more Ramsey useless flicks, or Giroud world class link up play, Walcott invisibility, or the utter rubbish Campbell. Instead we put emphasis on keeping the play ticking, and when the opportunity arises we strike with slick one-two football. It’s fantastic, and I love it.

We haven't played like that all season and it's no surprise we began to play a much quicker brand of football after the education we got from Barca.
Doesn't surprise me that you're calling Campbell utter rubbish either. Weren't you calling Coquelin a"nothing player" the other day?
Internet bad boy.
Coquelin played well when he was with Carzola. Rubbish with Flamina or Ramsey. Back playing well with Elneny. Elneny is the key here. Can hardly remember a mis-placed pass in the last two games.We also played like that vs Barca.
Or did we suddenly realize that we could play like that in the warm-up to the Barca game? Also if your extremely useless analogy has to hold any stick at all, why didn't we learn anything from the 1st Barca game then?
Yes, Campbell is utter rubbish, and Coquelin is indeed nothing more than a plodder with a very good 1st touch, improve as soon as possible.
Lmfao. Is this a serious post?

It's not beyond the realms of possibility to suggest we learnt from playing 2 games against the best footballing side in the world. Wenger said as much himself. Before the Everton match, he spoke about the Barcelona defeat and how we need to "do more with the ball"We also play like that vs. Barca

he would get swallowed up at a bigger club with massive pay packets and egos i think sometimes the modern manager needs such a lot of luck in the squad he inherits that they combine well, he still needs the technical and tactical nous but beyond that once the game starts all the input he has instilled can be forgotten in an instant which is why i find it odd sometimes when the blame is left at the managers door these players are professionals it almost seems the way the managers are blamed is if they have to write the code and upload it into the autobots memory jesus most of these guys have been playing since the year dot and although the pace is faster the basic game is still the same as it ever wasI rate him a lot. I've watched a few of their matches, and besides their defeat against Sp**s they've really not done a whole lot wrong with the quality they have. With the injuries they got at the start of the season I think everyone expected them to be relegated, but he kept their heads high.
I'd like to see how far he can take Bournemouth before he jumps to his next club.
Come on finding something negative when we won a tough away game, it's been season to forget we been saying that few weeks ago no need to bring these negative stats back again.
