Marcus Antonius

Nice really making it look easy after a bit of a shaky start (when we were only 1-0 up)

tayto lover

Very tidy goal there :D:D:D:D

Ozil again. Perez showing The Ox how to set up someone properly for a tap in.

JustTheOne

Perez nice.

Skylinehead

Ozil isn't happy with a goal unless he's bounced it off the ground first.

I thought the same as well, but in fairness, he did pick out a good pass to Perez.

Marcus Antonius

And he's got his hat-trick

His first ever professional hat-trick as well, that'll do him the world of good.

The two best players in the world scored a hat trick a piece tonight.

We can always go back over whether Xhaka's red card was deserved or not?

We could still whinge about the defence.
A poor team like Ludo were given 3 great chances to score in the first half by sloppy defending. We need to tighten up.

Cazorla and Coq do a magnificent job together, Cazorla controls the tempo of the game and Coq breaks up opposition attacks so well. In my opinion Kante's performances last season for Leicester was a huge reason they won the league and Coq is doing a similar job this season. Walcott and Sanchez may be getting the plaudits for knocking in the goals but Coq is the most important player on the team right now. Elneny and Xhaka have a fight on their hands to try and force themselves into this team because right now Coq is undroppable.

Alfred Borden

Always good to do this after we score a good few Ozil scored 3 but he also got his first assist of the season also tonight! This team seems to loads of goals in them with two big goal scorers in Ramsey and Giroud to come back too :eek: League goal and assists in brackets, totals on the right!

Goals
Walcott (5) 8
Sanchez (4) 6
Ozil (3) 6
Oxlade Chamberlain (1) 3
Cazorla (2) 2
Koscielny (2) 2
Xhaka (1) 2
Perez (0) 2
Chambers (1) 1

Assists
Sanchez (3) 5
Iwobi (3) 3

Perez (0) 3
Walcott (2) 2
Oxlade Chamberlain (0) 2
Elneny (1) 1
Akpom (0) 1
Bellerin (1) 1
Ozil (0) 1

Still not sold on Mustafi at all, our defence overall is still shakey. A good keeper saves 2-4 of the goals we scored tonight .

Onwards.

Arghus

DAT touch from Ozil for his first goal.

Unnnggh.

What's your verdict on Kostafi?

Might see about going to PSG game.

I can eat Lidl brand corn flakes for a month lol

I was happy with them in most games so far with the exception of tonight in the first half and one other game which i can't think of now. It's not just them. You need the full-backs to be on song and in tune with them too. We gave a poor team 3 great chances to score tonight. A better team would have punished us.

Tonight was his first start in a month lets not get carried away.

Aye there's still a bit of communication to be worked out there but the opposition were quick on the break and we played a very high line against them, I wonder if Mert had been playing would he have been outpaced?

gosplan

I have no problem conceding a few chances to that team. Mistakes need to be cut out but the high line plus being in second gear is very good for our players.

Was watching spurs last night getting through a rediculous amount of work closing Bayer down and chasing everything. I get that it was a big game in the context of their group but all I was thinking was that they won't be able to keep this up for a season, just like last year. They couldn't keep it up for the whole game in the end.

You can't just go at every game hammer and tongs trying to dominate every aspect and win every ball. It's unprofessional really.

Get through the group stages with minimum of fuss.

I think Xhaka is currently behind Coquelin in securing that central midfield berth. The sending off only reinforces that.

So nice after a good win how this thread dies a death :pac:

A lot of it is people afraid to praises Walcott & Co. because it'll be more than likely to thrown back in their faces at a later stage.

Pepe LeFrits

Can't argue with 7 wins on the bounce. Could and probably should be 11 in a row by the time we host Spurs.

This is said after every game, what do people expect like? You can only say so much. It's way easier to give out and then people argue and it makes for 20 pages of mostly bollox. We're all just patiently awaiting the next game

L'prof

So with November being our least favourite footballing month, do we think this year will be any different? Last year they managed 1 win and 2 draws from 5, which is an average of 1 point per game



Can this be improved upon this season or are the fixtures much tougher?
