Are you sure Fofana has only played a handful of games at a high level. He looks so bloody good 

Very matured display. Plays like a £30m pound signing and not one just for the future. Apart from one or two errors in positioning I can recall, he was brilliant.

Birthday next month. Mrs asked me what I want. Said nothing, but I'd love a tattoo. 

 

Basically, im having this done, but with the face of Vardy.

 

Might even add some text.

I'll admit that I was questioning the tactics in that game for the first half. In the second half I felt even before the Vardy change the tactics were starting to work, but really it was the introduction of Vardy and Under that changed the game today.

 

Mendy was MOTM for me, didn't put a foot wrong. Oh and Wesley Fofana must already be worth 90m, what a player.

We always knew JV couldn’t start a full match SH so in effect the tactics worked to perfection ...  Mendy has been an inspiration and as for little Wes ...  he is awesome ...  with a fully fit team we could beat anyone.

Got to be honest, i had this down as a defeat all day and watching the first 45 minutes, that was all but confirmed in my head.

 

I am the biggest critic of Rodgers tactics sometimes however credit where its due - Spot on today and a brilliant result. Don't think we played brilliant but luckily we played better than them. Bit of luck with their goal being disallowed but we have had plenty of bad luck so its the way the cookie crumbles.

 

All credit to the lads - Brilliant.

I was pretty disappointed in the match thread and I’m still not convinced it was a tactical masterclass but great result, hopefully we can take some confidence from it.

I second this. Still think the starting lineup and tactics were the wrong way. We were clinging on at times and luckily Arsenal tired/got worse.

 

Rodgers does deserve credit for the subs, they turned the game on its head and they were timed perfectly. 
 

Not a masterclass, bit of luck mixed with good decisions.

Got lucky in the first half for sure but second half looked as comfortable as you can playing like that. completely different game once vardy and under got on the pitch. Fair play, first arsenal away win in my lifetime.

[rachhere 1,931]

Delighted with that! Great for Cenge to get the assist. 

[winteriscoming 1,120]

Just waiting for arteta to come out with some bollocks about decisions going against them. 

[Will1981 676]

Get in at last we have won away at Arsenal the 1st time in my lifetime against 12 men as well.

 

A great birthday for me, almost as good as last years.

The tielemans pass for Under was pure pornography. What a goal

Yess!! A great day to be fox

[Bats8711 450]

I’m not buying this narrative that the first half was a mess. It wasn’t. It went exactly to plan. 

 

Nice to know we can win 1-0

Get in!

I'm not a fan of rope a dope tactics - UNLESS WE WIN!!!!

Some highlights from the Arsenal forum:

 

Master class from Brendan Rodgers, and we fell for it like the mugs that we are.

 

20 minutes Vardy is enough for us

Spanish Hodgson ()

 

Leicester got their goal, and now are game managing. Hattip to Brendan. He really played us.

 

Rodgers schooled Arteta today

 

Wow. Arteta really got shown to be a water boy by Rodgers today.

The man with a plan.

[purpleronnie 6,548]

Can't help but feel a little dissapointed that just 1 point from villa and west ham at home would've meant we'd be top tonight.

[simon789us 164]

[Mee-9 976]

Was getting flashbacks to the Man City match, beginning looking very compact and unadventurous.

 

Twisted at the perfect time, bringing Vardy on. Fantastic performance. Fofana is literally everywhere!

To be fair, for all our moaning in the first half (and it was justified, not going to change my view on that), the second seemed much better in reducing their threat and adding to ours. Positive substitutions.

Completely agree. Of course some criticism first half was OTT but we offered absolutely nothing.

 

We started the second half brighter and like you say, the subs changed the game. A more clinical team would've scored first half from those opportunities and the game would've been completely different second half.

I can’t remember who it was but one poster here said we’d get relegated after losing to Villa... and meant it too. It’s killing me I can’t remember who it was 😂😂😂
