Time to make changes. Galatasaray getting the dirty tackles in

Pepe LeFrits

Flamini should have saved that for Melo.

efb

Flamster with a needless yellow

Alfred Borden

The home fans deserved a performance like this. Been a long time coming. Id take off a few before we have a leg breaker.

For games like this it doesn't really matter, generally all Arsenal fans talking about the match as opposed to two certain sets of fans attacking each other

Doesn't matter, it's there now so it should be used.

Just on the topic we were on the other day, suppose it's no surprise we're out in front. City making a serious effort to catch us considering they weren't even in the league for 4 or 5 of those years.

Quazzie

Well that's the cracks well and truly papered over.

A bit of confidence and a feel good atmosphere can only do us good at the weekend, even if it will be a whole new world in comparison of quality,.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

I enjoyed that very much I have to say. Although the opposition weren't very great shakes it was still good stuff from us. The only blot of course being the red card, however Ospina looked good when he came on.

Welbeck, Cazorla, Ox, Alexis and Ozil all had good games I thought. MOTM obviously Welbeck, some very nice finishes and he really is incredibly fast.

I'm also sick of Szcezny not scoring, he's useless...

Still not happy, he only got an assist tonight.

Gringo180

Just finished work and go onto livescore to see a great scoreline and Welbeck scoring a hatrick... Said it the moment we bought him he was a gem of a signing, we are a different prospect altogether going forward with him leading the line.

bad2dabone

Button, welbeck or balotelli. So far this season, welbeck. Hands down.

Nah, defo Button. He's an animal

Drexel

Pretty happy with that.

Hope welbeck keeps proving me wrong.

Would have liked to have seen Diaby get a run for the last 15 minutes but he's not even on the bench for some reason.

Reckon he is been saved for Sunday

Gibbs man of the match

Was superb

I assume he played well tonight from the 3 goals. :pac: There's a long season ahead and hopefully he can score a hattrick in the rest of the matches.

That's a bit harsh. Not all of us like posting in match threads as at times they get ridiculous. I don't see the issue with posting in this thread about the match

Looper007

come Danny a hat trick on Sunday and you will become a god :pac:

wojciech szczesny is really is one of the craziest guys at times. he's done this a few times during his career.

kronsington

Really good win against an admittedly atrocious gala side.. Doesn't change much in terms of Sunday but at least it's a big boost for Ozil Wel and Sanchez..

Ah jaysis, don't tell me I'm being lumped in with them two. :P

Tonight we looked world beaters but the truth is that was more down to the opposition than to us. Sure we still had to go on and win the game, and credit where it is due, Danny et all done well. They certainly paint a rosey picture. If the picture doesn't change after the Chelsea game, then I'll be impressed. Heck if Chelsea don't shatter the picture I'll be impressed. Gala are decent, although set out ridiculously by their manager tonight, but it's the chelseas of the world we need to beat to get the pressure off. Gala suited Wenger's famous plan A, but Chelsea won't, so that will be the real test to see if Wenger has learned anything or if stubborness wins out.

We can't have different rules for different sets of fans, before the match thread was started there was no issue with folks posting in here as the match probably wouldn't generate enough interest for much of a match thread anyway (and it didn't) but when someone starts a match thread it should be used. It's just messy to have two threads discussing the match, plus it's in the charter. Also it stops the superthread getting cluttered up with discussion with non arsenal fans about match incidents.

Also I'll remind you it's against the charter to discuss moderation on thread so if you want to talk about it anymore feel free to PM.

Quazzie you are the king of that mighty downbeat table

We have a chance on Sunday, I think Chelsea are a bit dodgy at the back plus the pace of Welbeck,, Ox and Sanchez will destroy them. It's the midfield that the game will be won and lost. I think if we can hit them on the break and put on a top defensive display, we can take them. Lets stop making Chelsea out that they are a Bayern Munich or Real Madrid here, they have weaknesses too.

I think we are all a bit nervous about Sunday, especially as we don't want to suffer another thumping, but when you look at last years game at Stamford Bridge everything that went wrong for us that day did. I think if we can keep it tight for the first half and not concede we have a big chance to nick a win with a bit of counter attacking football.

Oh I agree Gringo, i'm nervous as hell as well but if we get it right on Sunday we can take these guys. They lack serious pace in that side. Hazard is the only one who has any pace. Terry and Cahill are not quick. I won't deny they are a very good team and Costa is on fire for them. But as you said if we play it right we can take them but it's all about the tactics really.

Colonialboy

great performance , i thought everyone looked hapy and comfortable in their position and comfortable with the role they had to play.
but why oh why is it only during an injury crisis that Wenger picks a team with everyone in their preferred position

emergingstar

Don't think the ox will start Sunday

Wilshere will replace him with santi on the wing

Alfred Borden

I hope Wilshere doesnt start Sunday, slows our game down too much.

Tony Gale (Sky) would probably call him out for sitting down, clearly lazy and disinterested
