SSFC Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Gayle has been solid during this stretch. I think we all would rather him be a 30 minute guy late in games (seems what he is meant for at this level) with a #9 like Slimani playing from the start. Obviously looking towards next year with that. Gayle does a lot of work that helps create the spaces for Perez, Kenedy, and Ritchie to do what they do. Shelvey-Diame has been a great duo since this run of form started. Onward and upward. Could we get to 50? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
afar Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Just finished watching, was a little bit behind, after going through my usual morning workout. Great result again, it was just so comfortable in the end, totally nullified Arsenal, terrific all round display, two excellent goals and three points.

Infinitely Content Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 We have great partnerships all over the pitch. Perez/Gayle. Shelvey/Diame. Dummett/Kenedy. Yedlin/Ritchie. Lascelles/Lejeune. No individuals in the team at all, everyone has a partner they can rely on and it seems to spread confidence & calm throughout the side. Rafa really deserves all the plaudits he will righty be getting now, what a manager. What a side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Arsenal have one the most/more technically gifted sides in the league, but we wanted it so much more. Arsenal lack so much heart and fight and that is what won it for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Arsenal have one the most technically gifted sides in the league, but we wanted it so much more. Arsenal lack so much heart and fight. Not sure they do tbh, only player they have who is up there with City on a technical level is Ozil. The rest are fast or physical players, they are nowhere near the technical team they used to be.

Stottie Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Arsene Pardger. Aubameyang 57m Lacazette 47m Xhaka 40m Mustafi 36m Welbeck 18m Even with injuries, they fielded nearly half a team that would break our transfer record. And couldn't fashion a chance in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Fantastic team performance and a great win which was fully deserved. I actually never felt nervous at all even when one nil down as this for me is arguably the worst Arsenal team I’ve seen in the Premier League era. Diame, Dummett, Ritchie and Perez in particular were different class and the rest very good. We look a solid and decent team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Thought the midfield today were outstanding. All of them ran themselves in to the ground and showed quality when it mattered. Thought we were a bit shaky at back compared to recent performances particularly in the first half but we weathered that and sorted it out as the game went on. Says it all that you could argue 5/6 of the players are playing as well as they ever have done in their career at the moment. Rafa that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 My favourite thing about this match is that I thought ages ago that we'd beat them for the following reasons, but in the end the big reasons didn't really come into it at all, we were just better: (Reasons why I thought we'd beat Arsenal) • Having a shit away record this season. • Being bottlers historically. • Losing or drawing against relegation candidates historically. • Losing or drawing against relegation candidates this season - five times, that's right - WBA, Swansea, Southampton, West Ham, Bournemouth. •Them having nothing to play for in the league, being preoccupied with the Europa (their only chance of CL football). •Us playing well against them at the Emirates and it being close, us upping our game against bigger teams at home. •Our game being better suited against teams who actually try against us. •If push comes to shove and we need to win that match, I'd be more confident than I was about us beating Man United, and more confident than in a push comes to shove game at home to Huddersfield. In reality: •That was miles better than I've seen Arsenal play away this season. • Arsenal still have something to play for as Burnley are right behind them, meaning they need to ensure Europa league football for next season if they don't win it this season. • We didn't need to win the game in the way that we might have if we were in say Huddersfield's position yesterday. We won without Arsenal being poor and without the fire of relegation up our arses. We didn't need Arsenal to be shit- they were good, and we didn't need adversity- the desire and application was still there. I'm really impressed by that more than anything.

Ameritoon Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I just feel happy for Ameritoon. Chuffed for Ameritoon, too. I just feel happy for Ameritoon. Was it first ever game and trip to SJP? Bet he's absolutely buzzing like mad. Chuffed for Ameritoon, too. I’m jealous, what an experience for him. Cheers all, that was simply incredible. Was just hoping to see one goal really, got two and the winner right in front of me. The atmosphere was amazing, Strawberry beforehand was great, walking around the stadium was surreal. Wish I could redo it all over again, perfect first match. Ayoze's form, too, what a guy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
