that was a pen

Agree, he's played really well before, but he seems to have found consistency. Key is probably Mustafi, who compliments him better than Merts or Gabriel.


It sure was, why would anyone go down like that??

We're playing some great footy tonight, ling may it continue!

It's a rout.

Champions League hattrick for Ozil!

Is that his first ever?

First hat trick for Ozil as well! All good.

That answers my question then

that'll do nicely.

Ospina and Gibbs both had good games. Knocking on the door to displace Cech and Monreal.

Good result, but the opposition was poor.

Great result I think Alexis should have applauded us when he went off, I know he always wants to play but he could be happier, he had his head down and looked unhappy.
Lovely work from Ozil and Lucas, Walcott's goal was stunning too

Great result for us, didn't see the match myself, but good to see us putting other teams to the sword for a change. Onwards & upwards!

Not often we see that these days! It was a joy to watch and Özil and Sánchez are just class.

You can only beat what's in front of you. We still played some good stuff, and wins like that (regardless of the opposition) should give everyone a boost of confidence. It was certainly enjoyable to watch anyway.

Expect another rout today, that will surely boost morale even further. Hoping Wilshire can do some damage and help our challenge.

I think its going to be one of "those" days today

Boro have had the best chances. Too much fannying around from us.

Oh FFS - ruled out for offside

Yea, it is.

Sounds like we were a touch complacent after the 6-0 game during the week. Boro themselves could have won it too, so a point, though v disappointing is better than zero points. We have to beat the woeful Sunderland next week, being away should make it easier too!

'Pool up to 2nd now, after tomorrow we could be 3rd.

Wouter- you really should know better.

Needed Cazorla today. No one to speed up the play in midfield.

Yep, the 6-0 midweek gave me a bit of false hope... As NH said, we missed Cazorla today, he gives that extra drive from midfield that Elneny doesn't seem to have.

Probably the most positive bit was seeing Cech back to his best.

On the other side the old two problems resurfaced once more. Tippy happy stuff with loads of possession and very little impact. The opposition having little of the ball but creating a lot of clear cut chances. We just don't seem to be able to sort this out.

One another note Ramsey's short term problem is turning in to another classic Arsenal mystery isn't it?

He's not been missed IMO. I Just hope Wenger doesn't put his golden boy straight back in when he eventually is fit.
The midfield is working perfectly well.
