Damn, how i love being prooved wrong! I was worried under those first 15 minutes, but then...Walcott scores and it was auto pilot until the end. Fantastic display, the best of the season so far. Cazorla, Ozil, Koscielny, Bellerin, were all very good, Giroud, great goal, hope he can have his confidence back, he was in need. For the 1st time i really loved watching Walcott as a cf, amazing game, even without the goal. Alexis clearly motm, besides the 3 goals he was can opener, always dangerous, always attracting defenders.
Fuckin' hell, is it so hard to produce performances like theese? Now let's carry on from here ffs. Man City's good run was nothing but piss boner, everything is open, come on Arsenal!!!

great performance by sanchez the first was a tap in the second was a great hustle goal hes known for, his desire is always evident in all his goal and what a ball by ozil over the top to find him the 3rd goal by sanchez was top class cut in and blast it into the bottom corner from outside the box glad to have the chilean workhorse back

Haven't seen one of our games so exciting and end to end since West Ham away last season.

Walcott was fantastic, even putting his goal aside he was a constant threat and his movement was lethal. Defenders can't live with him if there is any space, he'll wreak havoc amongst any line.

Sanchez looked like the Sanchez we all know and love. Buzzing about everywhere and a live wire whenever he got on the ball. A much deserved hat trick just in time for United next week. Hopefully the goals start to flow.

Cazorla and Ozil were both great dictating play and making incisive passes - dat assist for Sanchez's second!

Cech was solid. Really f***ked off with the second goal we conceded, he makes a brilliant save on the line but lax defending meant it was all for nothing as Vardy was under no pressure and just picked his spot.

All in all a very good result though.

GOATZILA + GOATCHEZ + GOATCOTT

I should start critiquing our players more I guess. Cech, Ramsey, and Alexis all had great games the moment I started critiquing them. :P

Great goal by Walcott, only starting out as a full time striker and already scoring practically every game he's started and giving a mobile threat that defenders have to be occupied with.

Which allows others to come in unmarked and score as well.

Walcott beat two to three defenders on the shot that was saved, when's the last time we had a striker who could do that?

Hi all Leicester fan just wanted to say well done on the win yesterday, they better side won even if that margin was a little harsh.

However I do feel the need to respond to the comments about our style of play, you say we were arrogant but then don't mention that Vardy could, on another day, have had a 20 minute hattrick, we3-0 up before Walcott's first, which came immediately after Vardy hit the bar from a header.

As someone else said, when we tried to go defensive last season it saw us go 20+ games without a win as we simply can't do it so we have to attack.

If Vardy's header goes in its a different game, 2-0 at HT maybe 2-1, but those are the margins, we'll play worse than we did yesterday and hammer someone and I'd much rather watch that as we'll gain more points than we'll lose after all the games against Arsenal aren't the ones we NEED to win what we get from them is a bonus.

Yes we need to sort our defence out, there is a very simple fix for that but we'll see if Claudio takes it.

Good luck for the season, on a final note I wonder if Alexis complains about his own teammates throwing themselves to the floor?

Good goal?

Goal mouth tap in a 10 yr old could score, he's not a good football player he's just a talentless goal hanger.
