Conti adopted 3 at the back after 6 games .
Wenger adopted 3 at the back with 6 games to go.

One of them wears snappy suits, jumps up and down on the sideline, has his own OPTA stats for the amount of running he does in the game (he tops the PL maangers table for distance covered per match)

The other one sits in his comfy seat , with his anorak, talking to a big bloke who
just nods his head and says qui qui qui .

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how he took a team that won the premier league at a canter a couple of seasons ago, added the best midfielder in the league to the team, and managed to get them playing well.

He's done well, but hardly surprising.

Must say i am actually delighted for Conte. I love his genuine passion and joy every time Chelsea scores. Its absolutely etched on his face. Alot of actors and shapers in football today so its rare to see such raw emotion expressed. They played some nice attacking football this season too. Im alot more delighted for Chelsea winning the league this season as opposed to the last time they won it under a certain 'person'.

Who would have thought that Victor Moses would be an instrumental part of a title winning side either?

This is just getting boring now. I think everyone is well aware how you feel about the guy and you are essentially preaching to the converted so why bother?

Stoke game will be difficult watch can't see more than 2 goals going in between the two teams hopefully whatever little goals there is there for us. Holdings got to start at the back with Kos and Nacho imo

Mike Dean is reffing the game too. I've a really bad feeling that he's going to be hugely influential in the result. Not looking forward to this game at all.

Yep. Dean will do whatever he can to help Stoke. He seems to detest Arsenal.

Was gonna put a hundred quid on Arsenal to win but since you pointed out Dean is reffing I'd rather keep my money in my pocket. There sould be a Paddy Power Special when Dean is reffing Arsenal matches.

domrush

Cech, Mustafi, Koscielny, Holding, Bellerin, Xhaka, Coquelin, Monreal, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud

lanomist

Ramsey and Welbeck on the bench for the game today, Co queuing and Gironde on.

WHAT WAS RAMSEY THINKING???!!!!

"I tell my teams to come in at half time with a draw or even to be winning"

Outstanding advice to any aspiring manager from Pardew

Royale with Cheese

Brittania stadium - not good
Wenger vs Hughes - not good
Arsenal vs Mike Dean - not good

Gonna be tough

He's prone to doing stupid things unfortunately

domrush

Coquelin is so incredibly limited

tayto lover

I can see Dean sending off Mustafi at the first opportunity now.

tayto lover

Neat

wandatowell

More overloading. I like that.

I think he's been our best player so far. He is definitely limited in terms of ability but he's playing well so far and I enjoyed it especially when there were 4 stoke players around him and he still got out of a tricky situation. He also supplied the ball to Bellerin for the goal.

Seen him a new light today. Clever passes and intricate footwork. Who knew.

Shackles off I suppose with the extra centre back.

It was a great through ball and made me eat my words to be fair but I just think he's a bit slower than the rest of the team on the ball. Would rather a less defensive MFer like Ramsey when we've not under a lot of pressure in games like these

tayto lover

Awful messy start to this half by us.
We can't put two passes together.

tayto lover

Fukcing great goal that :D

greendom

Arsenal are back!!!

wandatowell

Beautiful stuff from the lads.

tayto lover

Nicest pass of the year that by Sanchez.
That's why we have to keep him.

domrush

Give those two all the money in the world

sonic85

That was an unbelievable pass! Fcuking unreal

greendom

Shawcross should be off !

5star02707

Playing dirty now eh

wandatowell

Classic Shawcross.

tayto lover

Lucky there.
Holden very poor to let him past.

Mike Dean doing his utmost to get Stoke back into this

Two weeks in a row I haven't been able to watch. Think I'm going to have to avoid watching for the rest of the season.

I reckon he's 100% gone tbh, i'd be shocked if he was an Arsenal player next year.


Beautiful weight on the pass alright.
