Still fired up about Arsenal's performance yesterday. It was pretty close to being 100% complete performance.

Theo, Alexis and Ozil are forming quite the attacking trio. It is really remarkable the type of soccer we are capable of playing. There are times when we look unplayable for the opposition. The first 30 minutes yesterday was one of those rare times.

Van Gaal helped with his terrible squad selection, but Arsenal were on the front foot from the get go. Enjoy this victory everyone, it is one of those rare performances against a real nemesis. One of the few times I am going to enjoy an international break. Well, unless there are any significant injuries..

Couldn't believe the space they were giving us down in their third, but in the past we hadn't taken advantage of such a concession. We set things up, then shot from up top or around the penalty area.

Yes, watching the game, I knew something was different, but couldn't articulate it ... it was Theo pressing forward, but then changing directions on a dime and bringing it back out if nothing was there--passing and then getting it back on the give-and-go. Looking like a real cf.

Just look at this effort from Theo. Incredible. This is what we need.

also, I really wish Ramsey would've buried his chance. His all around game gets better and better every match. His two balls to set up the first and third goals were perfect. He's tracking defensively and making tackles, taking better care of the ball, and doing a fantastic job. All that's missing is his goals, which I'm not worried about given our form up top.
