We still get played in behind too easily. Again and again, our back line is very wobbly. No professional defense should have let Pedro in that easily.
Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything.

*Ramsey impressed the most, imo, and the result was a reflection of his performance. He was disciplined and stuck as close as possible to Kante and Cesc. Looked like he was tiring towards the end but should be expected after the shift he put in. How I wish he could use this game as a benchmark for what he needs to do as a CM

*Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, and Cech were solid. Their decision making was pretty much spot on the whole game. Clean sheet fully deserved. Was also about to lose it when Luiz made that leg breaking tackle near the end. Thankfully Kolasinac's made of steel :)

*Mustafi was decent. there were times where the Chelsea players were getting in behind him but besides that he was ok imo. Cleared when he needed to, closed down players pretty well, and even got a goal that was unfortunately ruled offside.

*Bellerin was also ok. Made some good crosses and prevented some crosses from coming in. I also liked the foul he made at the end which slowed down Chelsea’s attack

*Not too mad at Lacazette for the missed chance. Looked difficult. Was never going to be easy for him against a tough Chelsea defense. Highly likely he would have got a goal were we playing a more inferior side

*Iwobi was probably our least impressive player. Possibly the difference between us winning and drawing the game. Still deserves some praise for his work

*Finally, Wenger deserves any praise he gets today. Tactics was near flawless.


Good post.

Ramsey was quite good, Xhaka looked decent for once and the rest were solid.
Hope Welbeck's injury isn't serious. He was getting better.
Chelsea are better than us, but we have a better coach.That's the difference.

Mustafi's offside header was another reminder about the lack of coaching ability at Arsenal - offside from a dead ball, lol.

Dreams are the stuff of fantasy and the impossible
I don't believe it impossible for arsenal to win any game anywhere anytime and that is when I am in the wide awake club

They got one clear cut chance at home against us. Hardly them opening us up.

They were mostly restricted to long hopeful shots.

We played a blinder and did everything right but score against the champions at their gaff where we usually collapse.

It's improvement.

Conte is absolutely rattled by the Arsenal.

When we were rattled by them, we kept getting stupid red cards, remember Gabriel, Mertesacker and Cazorla getting sent off in just two games?
