Iwobi has amazing control like Weah.

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:19 pm

Come on, add one more goals then make subs

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:23 pm

Do we have a death wish or something, calm down you are already leading Laughing

by Jay29 Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:24 pm

Oh ffs

Time for Gibbs to come back in. Monreal is a weak link right now.

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:25 pm

thats just poor defending, Monreal has struggled with Barrow all game

by Twoism Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:25 pm

Monreal is such liability now against any decent speedy player

He isn't getting much support tho, every time Barrow has the ball he finds himself in one on one with Monreal.

Xhaka red card :facepalm:

What are we doing.

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:29 pm

We love shooting ourselves on the foot don't we, why can't we show a bit of discipline. There is no need to fly forward when you have already scored three goals. Making things harder for ourselves as usual. Xhaka had to do it because almost everyone had gone forward for some reason., it was cynical but better than leaving Kos and Mustaphi exposed again.

by Twoism Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:30 pm

A day to forget for Xhaka, again Monreal exposed.

by Twoism Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:31 pm

Wtf fans booing Alexis for that attempt,

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:33 pm

Barrow got passed Monreal with the same trick again yet there was no fcking cover. Do these actually learn anything :facepalm:

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:37 pm

it's going to be a long ten minute

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:38 pm

Theo's attempt, keep the ball

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:40 pm

Monreal's legs are gone Sad

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:42 pm

Theo nearly with the hattrick ffs

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:44 pm

Why did Gibbo cross it there, keep the ball and waste time. so naive

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:54 pm

YEASsSSSSSS

6 PL wins in a row

This was wayyyyy harder than it should have been

3 points though

by Jay29 Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:54 pm

Walcott

Hit the post and bar - poor finishing on both.

Lucky against Burnley and lucky again today. Soon enough a team will turn us over if we keep playing with such an alarming lack of concentration. We let Swansea back into the game twice when we really should have won comfortably.

by Twoism Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:54 pm

It's a win a suppose but good lord was it a srappy one, Theo could have like 5 today alone. A win after international break, I take it.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 4:57 pm

Gibbs was great off the bench. Needs to start

by urbaNRoots Sat Oct 15, 2016 5:00 pm

Referees tried hard to *bleep* us up in this game. How many times were Walcott and Alexis through on goal only for that wanker to wrongfully say offside Laughing

. Xhaka's red was not a red either, these kind of cynical challenges happen against us every week and they are never sent off.

Gibbs needs to come in for Monreal, I've said this for weeks but Wenger does not believe in proactive changes.

by RealGunner Sat Oct 15, 2016 5:02 pm

Also I am sure Coqzorla is going to start till the end of the season now Laughing

Wenger got his excuse

by Jay29 Sat Oct 15, 2016 5:03 pm

I get that Monreal wasn't protected particularly well but it's a great concern that whenever he's up against a pacey winger, no matter how average the winger, he can't be relied upon. Barrow is a bang average player but looked incredible today. Amrabaat roasted him as well.

Same happened with Sagna as he got older as well. You know a full-back is losing it when he's getting done in a 1v1 repeatedly. And you know he's a weak link when week after week teams target him.

by EL Patron Sat Oct 15, 2016 5:04 pm

The red card was harsh but deserved to be honest, a tackle from behind is a red so the ref had no choice. You can't blame Xhaka for taking him down, he was never going to catch the guy and he didn't want him to leave the defence exposed again. I am more mad at Monreal for flying forward and leaving us exposed again.

by Jay29 Sat Oct 15, 2016 5:08 pm

Arsenal will appeal that red for sure. It's an incredibly cynical tackle but I wouldn't consider it dangerous or reckless play. We've seen plenty of tackles like that against our own players go unpunished.

If he gets the three game ban though he'll miss Middlesbrough, Reading and Sunderland. So a decent time to be suspended I suppose.
