    2.15 from Paddy Power last night looked pretty sweet. Let's get 3 on the board.

    Worrying when Zelalem is making our bench tbh. I don't know why we didn't resign Flamini this week.

    What the **** is up with BT Sport and showing the managers whilst the tactics are on screen? :confused:

    Pitch is getting really bad. Arsenal won't like that

    Drop Giroud back. He can do no wrong these days!

    I'm a bit of a Giroud fan, I think he is an excellent striker who had a tough time of it at the start of his Arsenal career but I fancied him to come good this season (as a result he is in my fantasy team). Well taken goal.

    Probably Ramsey.

    It was his shot anyway initially.

    Why are arsenals centre backs playing so far apart. They are like two full backs

    You only get narrow when you're defending. Fulham have barely had an attack yet.

    Does ark sit quietly in the corner of the commentary box, waiting to be given a chance to say "excellent" 3 times in a sentence once every 10 minutes or so?

    We always play that way.

    Push the CBs wide then the full backs move up. Harder for teams to press you if play that way and easier for you to play offside. Your defensive midfielder (in our case Arteta, but Ramsey today) covers the middle. Anything over the top the keeper acts as sweeper. Keeps your opponents hemmed in and is difficult to counteract if, as in our case, the team playing the above system is very good technically. Caveat is, you can be easily opened up if the team you're against has quick talented players and you don't play a DM or your DM isn't positionally disciplined. Villa game last week is probably as blatant evidence for that as you'll find. If we had Gustavo we wouldn't have lost that game.

    And he adds absolutely nothing worthy to the coverage.

    They are unusually far apart today tho I think.

    Arsenal getting a bit sloppy. Taarabt causing problems

    Ramsey has to stop lunging in like that. Very wet and easy to miss the tackle. Can see him getting a red.
