Really great performance from Arsenal tonight. Laca, Pepe, Xhaka all looked awesome. Torreira was all over the place running his arse off. Maitland-niles was a pleasant surprise as well.

to the new decade. I’m very optimistic with Arteta in charge.
And Torreira needs to be starting every game possible.

I loved the post game comments. Seems like some senior leadership is coming.

90 mins of organized defense and a clean sheet. Are we sure that was Arsenal we saw today?

Look at the players' reaction after the match. They have really bought into Arteta's philosophy. Take Ozil for example. He led the team in distance covered today and had a huge smile and gave Arteta a huge hug right after match. Also check out the Sokratis/Luiz post match interview if you can. Papa summed it up best when he said "the fun is back". Hopefully we keep progressing and getting results.

This is the best we've played in a long time. Maybe since Valencia last season.

It was great to see. Ozil and torreira look like players again. Luiz has been excellent since Arteta took over and Xhaka had a huge performance today. One that you would have expected before from the former captain.

I forgot what it looks like for Arsenal to play organized defense and actually play like they care. It is fun.


Arsenal hasn't had a defense this well-organized since 2009-10, when we gave up something like 19 open play goals in league play all year.

Chambers out for up to 9 months with an ACL tear. We can't catch a break with our young defenders and ACL tears.

Also, Nketiah is officially recalled from his loan to Leeds.

The Chelsea match. He was grabbing his knee on the ground, stretcher came out. It was bad.

That makes 3 defenders in the last year that have done their knees. Unbelievably unlucky we are. It seems we are aggressively looking for a CB this window at least.
