I like the attacking side of that team. Hopefully Arteta and Flamini can co-exist today! Wenger really rates Sanogo.

Yeah, hopefully we see a goal from him today to set him up for the rest of the season.

Mr Blobby

Wembley here we come!!

If Ozil and santi keep this form up we could be back in contention for the league.

Don't forget the Ox who was also brilliant today, if we could get some more consistency from this team and get them playing like that more often we would be a match for any team.

Problem is lately the team hasn't been clicking hopefully this will spur them on for the massive month ahead.

Spanish Johnny

And Ramsey and the mighty Kallstrom to return!!

That's absolutely true. Strangely enough. Fair play to ozil, took a lot of **** and comes up with that performance to answer the boos. I love seeing that., people rising to answer the critics.

Good win. Just what we needed too after stoke. Ox has to start more games I think. We need his pace. He was great today.

Is Arteta on the way out? I think he'll need replacing next year.

Legs appear to be gone or going.

Soups123

Excellent first and last 30 mins. Some excellent performance

Only negative is that today proves how raw and unready Sanogo is. He just isn't near yet

I think he is cooked with this team. He did a great job over the past 3 years but his legs are gone

Agreed can still do a job for the team but the better the team/ players he comes up against the more he struggles.

Can't be relying on him as much next season.

omega man

The dressing room will be absolutely buzzing now. Who knows what that'll do for the bayern game. Dare we believe a bit........

TheGunns

Think Arteta struggled since he was being forced to push forward playing next to Flamini. Think we really have to play just one of them, neither really capable of pushing forward really.

Alfred Borden

Vermaelen has all the attributes to play CDM. Good tackler, great passer for a CB, good vision and will make runs into the box. Would definitely think about moving him there full time. He sent a great pass out to the wing to set up the third goal.

Mickeroo

Great result, but I refuse to get excited about our chances in the league or CL because of it. One game at a time.

He's too kamikaze for me you need pure discipline to play that role for Arsenal

Missed the game. All over good performance bar Arteta by accounts?

How was Fabianski?

Arteta was okay just starting to show the wear and tear, fab did fine not too busy but assured when needed

Alfred Borden

If they get through I really want City in the final. Not that if we beat them it would be guaranteed, just would be heartbroken to go all the way and lose in the final. Good semi with them with their hard run and let the better team win.

I'd like cityin the final if possible as if we get them in the semi the have Liverpool a couple of days afterwards and it would perhaps give pool an advantage. And I've decided I really don't want pool winning the title, their fans On here would be even more irritating and insufferable.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

how about city lose against wigan?

tayto lover

Missed the game today as I was at a funeral.

Great to get a win and from reading the match thread we seem to have played.
When is the draw for the semi-finals?

If Ozil. Chamberlain and Cazorla can keep that sort of form up, I'd be confident we'll still have silverware to play for come the end of the season.

Alfred Borden

3rd and the cup would be an excellent season for me

Giroud 18 (12)
Ramsey 13 (8)
Ozil 6 (4)
Cazorla 6 (4)
Walcott 6 (5)
Podolski 6 (3)
Wilshere 5 (3)
Arteta 3 (2)
Oxlade-Chamberlain 3 (2)
Mertesacker 2 (2)
Bendtner 2 (2)
Rosicky 2 (1)
Koscielny 1 (1)
Flamini 1 (1)
Gnabry 1 (1)
Eisfeld 1 (0)
Sagna 1 (1)
Gibbs 1 (0)


Feels good having a few goals to update after that blank we drew last time.

Ozil?

Spanish Johnny

We have a good squad. Started that game without Kos, Wilshere, Ramsey, Walcott and Giroud came on.

We are two decent signings away from a special squad.

A young defensive midfielder and a class striker with pace. We would be hugely formidable.

Sanogo is good enough to be a 3rd striker. Giroud and one more to rotate would be delightful.

Arteta and Flamini still have huge roles in this team and squad but we do need the Lars Bender type in there for legs.

Hope Vermaelen stays. Bad mistake today granted but not many better 3rd choice centre halfs about.

No no I agree with you. The phrase means I like your style

Good win, can't wait for Ramsey to be back

It will take him awhile to get up to the pace of the game i'd imagine.
He will probably get a few appearances as a substitute before he gets 90 mins.
Will be a great asset in the run-in and for the Cup.

It didn't take the ox long to get back up to speed I'm hoping Ramsey does the same

Much like I didn't agree with the sentiment from some last week that we were now fcuked after that draw the league is far from over far far far from over. City win there games in hand they go top, or we beat Chelsea puts everyone right back in the mix for the title. Still a good few twists and turns left in this title race me thinks.

Agreed. I think we will turn Chelsea over at the Bridge
