Just a note on how professional and committed  the club are in respecting the remembrance fixture. Truly the best club around when it comes to this.

Never in my years have seen Arsenal park the bus at Leicester.  Shows where both teams are currently. Thought we were great. 

Was a strange first half..... I would liken it to a game of rugby where one team doesn’t commit many players to the break down ..... the game becomes uncontested up front.  Arsenal plainly did not want to get into Evans and cags which could allow our full backs to get forward into their full back positions where they were weak given their formation. However, into the second half, they seemed to change their mindset and the game became very open in comparison  for 20 mins before we scored.  we have to recognise that the side to side moving of the ball in the first half generally pays dividends in the second as the opposition become too tired to cover all the passing lanes, allowing us to get beyond their lines more easily.

First 9 minutes Sherwood and Shearer paying homage to our brilliance. They can't speak highly enough of us. Nuff respect

Loved the atmosphere in the stadium for the last half hour.

 

It's not been like that since the title winning season/champions league games.

Only annoyance is I thought about having a flutter before the game on half time draw, full time Leicester! Anyone any idea of the odds I'd have got?

No idea. However I did look at Vardy first goal and Leicester 2-0... 22/1! Should've gone with the gut.

Doesn't he speak well? 

 

I like the guy. The cocky 22 year old kid with Gucci rucksacks ,head to toe Armani label absurdity and gangsta hand signals on insta. 

 

I wonder if that's all a bit playful tongue in cheek as that interview and comments in the past from Rodgers about his training shoshowses very bright and professional young man.

 

Plus, just a hunch, does anyone else suspect that the casino incident wasn't naive but he knew EXACTLY what he was doing? 

[Mythyaar]

Our game's at a new level at times: a complete joy to watch.

[Collymore]

I just watched MOTD and was shocked by Aubameyang for his offside goal. Surely he can't be that bad tactically to not realise he was offside.

 

it was as if he just ran offside on purpose almost...

 

 

[Vlad the Fox]

I do like Maddison, speaks so well and intelligently and he clearly loves it here. It’s clear he’s a key member of the squad which has some great characters, the team has personality, there’s something special happening again. I honestly don’t think we need to worry too much about other teams poaching our players, especially while Rodgers is here, and I don’t think he’ll be going anywhere soon. 

[manders86]

Just a quick shout out to Brendan as well. Surely it's no coincidence we have only conceded 2 goals in the second halves all season. As well as the game turning tactically both last night and against Palace. I just get the feeling he is finding the holes needed in the first halves, getting it into the lads at half time and they are aware enough for it to make the difference.

 He feels like a world class manager.

[Guest Manini]

Genuinely think we might be the best team in the universe 

[Corky]

Another thoroughly enjoyable evening, the whole club seemed to be loving life at the moment- the players are relaxed, the manager enjoying himself and the fans right behind the team again. The contrast to last February is so stark.

 

Wasn't a classic and Arsenal weren't the shambles that many predicted but I always felt we had enough to win the game and two brilliantly created goals won it, the first being superb with the movement and passing, clinically finished by Vardy.

 

Can't believe how smooth it has been so far, we've recovered from setbacks really well and are firmly in the top four with a cup quarter-final to play as well. 15 games in and we've had plenty of goals, an excellent defence and most of the squad contributing in some way. Fabulous.

In an infinite universe (where every atom combination possible is happening) there's a team full of Vardys somewhere that has been bread to play in every position (6ft 5 version in goal) I'd imagine that team would be better.

You been at the Bristol Cream already? Don’t blame you. What a ****ing performance 

[David Hankey]

Another superb performance and victory. Admittedly the 'Gooners' are a shadow of their former selves, a team full of prima-donnas who were pretty clueless and a manager bereft of ideas who days are surely numbered. One possibility on their current form is that they will have the best stadium in the Championship!!

[volpeazzurro]

And some Arsenal fans and Alan Brazil think that they should ditch Dick Emery and Rodgers will come running to them!

Why on earth would he remotely want to inherit that shambles? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Let's not get ahead of ourselves but we are gonna win the league again

[Bazly]

Some fantastic performances yesterday, Ricardo and Wilf were immense throughout the game. Wilf was breaking up their play and played a massive part in our second goal and Ricardo is such an accomplished wing back he rules the right hand side. Then there is of course Vardy with his far superior conversion rate of shots to goals than any other player in the league. You look through the team now and think there is great talent in every section of play. 

 

However not all was brilliant. Chilwell simply cannot defend properly. He must have let six crosses go past him yesterday and the only tackle he did attempt was at the games end on the right side of goal. Söyüncü was berating Chilwell for his poor defending yesterday and having to cover for him because Barnes was never available to do that. Barnes was never really in the game either yesterday and is looking a bit lost. Chilwell is kind of bypassing him with his own forward runs. The Chilwell and Barnes combination isn't working like the Tielemans Ricardo one on the other side does. Also Perez doesn't seem confident what to do with the ball, should he pass, drive or shoot. So he usually just ends up on the grass having lost possession.

 

Brilliant goals yesterday though, kind of reminded me of Arsenal 15 years ago.

[Fosse93]

Couldn't make it to the game so had to watch in the box. 

 

We were superb. Can I just say as well, might be a little controversial but I actually really enjoyed Tony Adams as a pundit! 

 

Sky need to get him and Roy Keane on every week hahaha

[car1os]

@Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo can we have a gif/emoji of Brendan Rodgers dropping a hand grenade please! 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

The owners, the Manager, the first 11, the subs bench, just WOW!!!! We’re great! 

[Bossman Blessed It]

Despite the fact that they are having a torrid run at the moment, Arsenal still have the quality to hurt teams, particularly with their front three. We managed the game so well and their good spells were squashed down to manageable chunks. The entire team is playing as one unit and it seems that the players are so clear about what their individual role is within it. Ndidi was mentioned a couple of weeks ago by Jenas on MOTD as having adapted to play the ball forward and it was so refreshing to see him drive on. He's frighteningly good, every week and the way he nicks the ball back is so reminiscent of Kante. What a team.

Unlucky.  Can anyone help Shiteforever out?

Sure.

 

@FightforeverTake 2 of these before kick off. Should turn your bowels to concrete.

 

If you end up doing the worlds longest football poo again, start earlier in the day and take another whenever your bowels start playing up.

 

If this doesnt work. Consult your doctor you monster.

they have Auba and Lacazette both of who will have the vultures circling for them. Pepe and ozil will be left behind.
