re: Arsenal 2016/2017 Season Long Thread: 13 time FA Cup Champs

I only saw the second half, so these comments only apply to half the game. Xhaka was so good.His ability to break up play and then quickly spring counters or move the ball forward is something we have been lacking. I thought we had lots of shaky organizational issues that made us look vulnerable on the counters. We looked good as a countering team ourself, and I really think that's where our strength lies anyway. We have speed, technique, and good movement on the counter attack but in possession we often look too stale and get countered by teams that sit back and defend in their own box. Glad we pulled out the win. That game was fun as hell to watch.
