I thought a few games ago they said he's never saved one. At least in top club football.

I never question Ramsey's heart, but I just feel like he leaves us exposed at times by making the wrong decision.

"Where's the guy who hates Ox. He's having another "terrible" game."

I never said I hate him. I just said like many, he has not lived up to potential. He has been amazing today and I am very happy to admit that.

Just started supporting Arsenal this year since my 9yo has gotten into soccer during the last couple years. What a game! We may have the most athletic team in all of sports. Alexis, Ox and Welbeck are simply amazing examples of pure athleticism. Really fun to watch just from a physiological level. So impressive.
Go Gunners!

I have my issues with Arsene but it warmed my heart to see him celebrate at the whistle. It just felt good after this difficult season.

Hers my issue. It all started with the 8-2 thrashing from Man U. He's essentially never really ventured out if his 4-3-3 iteration until now. It took Conte one game of his squad getting bossed to switch it up.

Palace was our friend today. 3 games in hand.


Yeah, It pulled on my heart strings to see Wenger so happy after that win.


I have always been worried the club wasn't and won't be prepared for life after Wenger. You barely hear shite from Gazidis, and you def won't ever hear a peep from Kroenke. Everything is Arsene.

Definitely. The Liverpool loss is huge, with 3 out of 3 wins we could be above them on goal difference.

Great win. Always nice to beat Man Shitty in a big game.

And while we've played like shite in the PL, I'm confident for the FA Cup Final. It's a whole different ballgame and I think we beat Chelsea.

That being said, as far as Arsene's body of work, the FA is nice, but it's not a TROPHY trophy.

I hope what happens is that Arsene gets a nice win over Chelsea where he then can ride off into the sunset with three out of four FA Cups. Then we can get a manager in here who can structure this defense and play 21st Century football.

Great win and great to see Arsene so passionate.

Still: Wenger Out.

It was an entertaining game. Ox was the best player for Arsenal not named Alexi.

Ozil flushed his chances today, and didn't show anything again. Giroud did nothing.

Going forward I think if we are going with 3 in the back, it should look like this

------------------Cech
Bellerin-Mustafi-Koscielny-Gabriel-Nacho
----------------Xhaka-Ox
----------Ozil-Welbeck-Alexis

Why would we take Ox, who has probably been our best player in both back 3 matches, out of the position where he's succeeding. I'm not sure what the fix is in midfield because Ramsey is who he is, but it's also not bitten us yet. I do think Welbeck up top instead of Giroud is the best option.

I see both of yall points. Ox has been outstanding at RWB so you would be hesitant to move him. On the other hand Bellerin is far from a slouch at RWB and Ox is damn good centrally too. I think I'd keep it the same due to the fact that Hector has been playing with an ankle injury. Either way having options is a good thing.


Edit - Definitely Welbeck over Giroud against the bigger teams. Giroud can start against the teams that defend deep.

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how this 21 year old, "unknown" "signing for the future" beat one of the best strikers in the league?

Rob Holding, ladies and gentlemen
