Very pleased with that result, like they said it will be a champions performance to come back from 1-0 down and grind out a result. We were brilliant for most of the first half and the latter portion of the second, Cazorla was on fire today, very impressed. We had a few shaky moments with Szczesny making an error which is uncharacteristic for him this season followed by some sloppy defending reminiscent of Arsenal of old, but we recovered well and the Ramsey injury helped us. Podolski looked very good when he came on, missed his bullet shots and glad he got a goal on his comeback, looking forward to more from him!
Thought Theo was bang average until his goals but fair play he was there on the end of them again and made something happen, got us back into the game. Ozil went quiet in the second half and hopefully he'll either play 60 mins or not start on Sunday in favour of Podolski.

Overall good game, was worried about them before the match because they can be hard to play against but we turned up, didn't look tired at all (besides Ozil/Ramsey a little) and played some good football. Giroud needs some confidence and to stay in the box more but he did ok outside of those few chances. Solid win and BACK TO THE TOP OF THE LEAGUE (for now).

great win no thanks to giroud. I think it has reached the stage where giroud really should never play for us again. Its not about form its about quality and he is way below the standards of this club. There isnt a player in our squad that i want to leave and i like all of them except for giroud and that is because he really has no real strength to his game.

He rarely scores headers
Most of the time he loses the ball when trying to hold it up
His passing is very inconsistent
He doesnt use his stature well.

It took being up against mcartney a full back for him to finally successfully hold the ball up and it seems like our team has to play within themselves to accommodate him. Even bendtner is better for our system even though he also lacks quality

Podolski is back! Changed the game when he came on! Set up the 2nd and scored the 3rd! That is what happened man, we are a very good team!

Ozil great game but should've scored.
Theo shows why he's so important. Didn't play that well, but he can make things happen.
Ramsey was having a good game before being subbed. Hope he's ok.
Podolski looked very good.
Oh, and Gibbs was very good again.

TOP OF THE LEAGUE

Ozil needs to improve his finishing and take more initiative. But I swear he makes so many little things that are very clever and it doesnt get appreciated


Agree with this. The man is a genius on the ball passing wise but can remind me of hleb times in front of goal.

His chance with that rebound was criminal, keeper was out of the game.

Aaron Ramsey has torn a thigh muscle which will no doubt rule him out of contention for some weeks...

Aside from Poldi's talent, there's just something about him that makes him so likable. I think it's that he exudes joy from every orifice.
