First win for Arsenal under Emery in Premier League but there are lots of things to learn from this game.

Disappointed performance in the 1st half but 3pts is what it all matters. I mean bad performance for the first 50 minutes nonetheless. Lacazette and Torreira completely changed the game when they came in, I just have no idea why they don’t start. We struggled in the first 50+ minutes with careless/weak passes. Happy with the result, unhappy with the performance. Our defence was weak. We won 3-1. We were much better in the second half especially with Lacazette and Torreira coming on. Second half was much, much better than the first one. We pressed them and got that important goal. Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey were really impressive. And Lucas Torreira made his impact in the defensive area too. After we got the second goal we were the better side and eventually, we got the 3rd goal to seal Unai Emery’s first win as the Arsenal Manager. Some unlikely goal scorers in Monreal (who’s continuing where he left off) and Welbeck on his return to the team. Onto to the Cardiff City next week! Come on Arsenal

3 points were necessary. Improve the defence, we still conceded. A lot to work on defence while Mustafi and Sokratis impressed. Xhaka was decent and let’s hope auba finds some form soon because he looks very off it. Disappointed to not see leno start but the 3 points are what mattered and we managed to get them.Leno, Lacazette, and Torreira should start! We were playing with no defenders around. Xhaka rarely made a mistake today. Torreira quite excellent with his range of pass. Lacazette needs to play alongside Auba. Anyway, good motivation for the players and coach to move forward.

Sokratis played well but he and Mustafi just always had to cover on the right side because Bellerin was nowhere to be seen at times. Bellerin offensive contribution is very good but defensively is very poor. I think he fits in RW.3 assists in 3 games. But lichtsteiner should p;ay as RB & Bellerin as RW because we’re too open on the right. This guy showed his pace and proved every criticizer & me wrong. That's the way, keep it up and continue to improve. He might be an RB but he's much better an RW and in some parts, he intercepted at the back and did some fine defending too. He was average in defence and by far better in attack today. Bellerin needs to find the balance between moving forward and going back. If he goes forward other player needs to cover his position

Lacazette his positioning was superb dragging out defenders creating spaces. Auba and Laca should start there. Very happy with the second half performance maybe, Leno, Torreira and laca should play in the lineup next time maybe then it will make a quick difference.Laca for me. Really showed his determination to get into the starting line-up. Bellerin not too far off behind for Man of the match. Really improved going forward, needs support when he does though but needs to improve his defensive skills.

Xhaka did contribute to the match a lot, especially after Torreira was subbed on as Xhaka played creatively as Torreira watched his back. So instead I’d love to see the Xhaka-Torreira pair. Xhaka made beautiful passes and dictated the game. You just have to see it When Torreira came in, Xhaka was no longer CDM (which he shouldn’t be) and pressed forward to contribute more chances creatively. Not only Torreira changed the game, but it is the Xhaka-Torreira bond that worked it out. Strongly agree that Guendouzi is a huge surprise and I can’t wait to see more from this young talent get what you mean and I agreed that he has to gain more experience. I love his passion and how he works so hard in a game. He really deserves to play and I believe he’s going to be a true gunnerWhat I mean is that he needs someone more experienced to lead him. If he struggles too much he might lose his confidence. Not to mention starting every match increases his chance to get injured, given that he’s running everywhere on the pitch. In fact, the experience is gained step by step.

Sort:  

I agree. 3 points are the most important result of this game.
