    1-0 to The Gunners, Giroud with the finish from a classy Özil flick on.

    Yep, it will be over as a contest fairly soon if that keeps up.

    Beautiful goal....fantastic from Ozil and Giroud recovered himself brilliantly. Would like to see another one soon.

    No repeat of last year...Taylor reffin...early Giroud goal...fall asleep and get suckered.

    As I've said many times before, spray it out to Ozil/Sanchez/Walcott so they can set up the striker, simples. :P

    Villa starting to see a bit more ball in the final third, still look ropey as f*ck at the back.

    Long term consistency reservations and passing aside....I love watching Coquelin in this Arsenal side. He almost looks like the mythical ideal DM we crave.

    Was expecting a burst of pace from Theo there rather than him slowing the ball down, wasted break.

    Weimann should really have done better with the header, got his timing all wrong.

    He has been poor enough today I think.

    Can still see him getting a goal though

    Good save Ospina and from the other angle Bellerin got good pressure on Weimann in that situation.

    Would have been a beautiful counter if we finished it off the other end.

    Walcott and Ramsey have been poor.
    Ozil,Cazorla and Monreal have been great.

    Can we change Walcott for Rosicky?

    I don't get the thinking behind the high line from Villa...we don't really do it ever and we try it away to Arsenal.

    A team with Ozil's ability to thread a pass and Walcott's pace. Baffling

    Needs the game time though surely? How else does the rustiness go...frustrating I know but it takes time and confidence. We really should have 1 more.

    Arsene saving Rosicky for next weekend against his favourite team to score against. ...goin for 3 in a row!

    That's two goals in two starts for ozil. And two assists too I think.

    Stepping up.

    Only for the sliding right foot it would have been fine, a foul alright just about.

    I never said it did. Someone else said he missed the ball which is a complete and utter lie that I was correcting.
