Arsenal (H) Post match thread

[MillionMilesAway]

Ake looks a better left back than centre back.
Dias looks really good.
Bernardo looking more like his old self.

Good show from the ref too really.

World not falling apart and title challenge still on? Funny that.

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

Apart from the occasional blip, a very composed an good performance against a difficult Arsenal that have done very well under Arteta.

Dias and Ake really good. Early days, but looks like Ruben could be the leader we have missed after Vinnie.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

The only good thing to come out of that was the result....;)

I think you can add powerful performances of Dias and Ake to it

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Impressed with Ake at left back. When we have Dias and Laporte in the middle and Walker at right back, that has the makings of a very decent defence.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

A good solid defensive performance which was very much needed today as Arsenal were a threat. I think Pep recognised that in the first half and in the second we had to sacrifice attacking flair for grit and determination. Two excellent saves from Ederson. Decent side Arsenal so good win that. We aren’t at our best yet so grinding out wins is all important.

Aye. It's about scores on the doors.

Really pleased with that clean sheet
What a difference Ake and especially Dias make!!
I think we may have found the new Kompany

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Take that all day.

Ruben Dias outstanding. Ditto Kyle. Eddie's kicking poor but great saves. Ake great again. Cancelo very poor apart from that one run 2nd half. Rodri got through a lot of work. Bernardo ace. Phil was everywhere, as was Raz. Aguero needs time.

 

[yankblue]

Not really one for the neutrals

But 3 points is 3 points, especially without Kev and a not quite fit Aguero

Dias looks good - exactly what we've been missing

Take it you Norf Landan Islingtonite Arses! Much was made of Our Tater putting one over Pep when the Arse turned us over in the semi. I await what the RDAHMeedya have to day tomorrow?
