Always loved this guy since his Dortmund days, gutted we missed out on him to utd but glad he's come to arsenal, a player with his guile and creativity, it was destiny!

He was brilliant today and long may it continue.
Besides his passing, I though his movement and positioning were absolutely fantastic. He was everywhere on the pitch helping us build play up the field, playing fluidly and often swapping sides with Iwobi (who also had an effective game). I'm very excited to see how he gets on here.

Just seen he's got 8 assists this season and has only started 12 games. Granted he got 3 in one game today but still a very good return.
I watched Man Utd earlier in the season, and his performance today was nothing like in those games. Before, he was getting some goals and assists but was all-in-all quite poor. This performance absolutely merited the 3 assists though. I think he'll keep it up.

Here's to hoping, I guess. He had a few multi-assist showings in blowouts (for ~9 WS ratings), so I'm not totally confident this isn't a false dawn, but I definitely agree that today's showing was a cut above.
Fwiw, I watch United all the time too b/c they're always on TV over here and a lot of my friends are fans. Probably my second most-watched club behind Arsenal, dirty as that may be to admit.

I'm not concerned about anything Micki did or didn't do at United. Today he played like he did at Dortmund. He was quick. He was direct. He was intelligent. He was creative. He made everyone else around him better. Nor would I compare today's result to Palace or any other good performance. More than I've seen in a long time, Arsenal played like Arsenal again.

Reinventing VAR 😡
Just realized this myself. He's got one more than Özil, too, with much less playing time. He doesn't like to beat it around the bush when it comes to assists and I hope Wenger doesn't ruin that aspect of his.
Is that work rate normal for him? Was really surprised with defensive shift but perhaps that’s just what going from Mourinho to Wenger does to a guy.

Yes, I posted stats of him having the most tackles/interceptions of any attacking united player since he joined United, they were also higher than Alexis'.
He also won the most balls in the bundesliga in the middle third of the pitch in his last year (includes all positions). But leave it to Mourinho fanboys to label him a lazy player.
Country: England
Same!
Was gutted when he went Man U cause he seemed like such an Arsenal player and a no brainer at the time.
Then I did get put off based on what I saw at Utd..
But if this is indicator of what he can do then happy days. Wenger of old, I’d be certain would get the best out of him. Modern Wenger is a bit weird so let’s see.
Hopefully he goes the DeBruyne and Salah route and further exposes Mourinho a little bit.

He did that type of defensive work with Klopp for almost 2 years. Then Tuchel let him be selective with his defensive work. With Mou, he suffered with negative games against top 6 teams, where a lot of times they had to defend and chase players around.

I got back from the game and straight away watched match of the day.
After watching our game back, and then the united game, I really feel like both he and Alexis feel like they are now at the club's they belong at. Something about it all just looked right.
Brilliant today.

Funny, he has 8 assists now. KDB 11, Sane 1o and Pogba 9. And he did not play much since October.
Country: Wales
He looked really, really good today. Can't believe we've got both him and PEA in ffs.
A month ago I was resigned to losing Sanchez and Özil and probably going into a huge patch of uncertainty.
Since the Swansea game this past week has reminded me why I love this team and they're such a big part of my life. Sitting here with the cheesiest grin because of how it's turned out.
