I'm not sure how you extracted that from my postEh? Another ignorant football fan from England?

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.Great performance, but he had a couple blue-chip displays earlier this year at United too. His problem is (and will always be) consistency -- hopefully he can find it here.
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.I watched Man Utd earlier in the season, and his performance today was nothing like in those games.

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.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.
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'.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.
Same!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 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.Is that work rate normal for him?
