Lacazette and Eleny run the show. Alexis just enjoys playing.... and those here WHO waste their time and slaming our club... get a life and collect stamps
We support Arsenal, it's the same thing, you think we're collecting trophies???

And what's with the WHO...it's nonsensical!! And what does slaming mean, sounds like a fish dish....

Got lucky with the pen but a pretty good solid performance.
We finally may have found that striker to finally replace Henry.
Looks like he's born to score goals. And to think some here wrote him off after Chelsea :)

Need to continue this excellent run on Sunday.

Slight agenda-ism on this thread... :roll: :lol:

Yeah they had a nailed on penno but hey let's not mention our nailed on penno that the bald bastard ref also missed when one of Pubis' finest tried to swap jersey's with Sanchez mid-game! :lol:

Anyway, I can't be arsed to go into details, we played ok in patches, were lucky with a good Cech save onto the post and a decent goal line clearance from Nacho but ultimately we were miles too good for Graham Taylor-Lite Pubis and his long ball cloggers. Elneny was PL average, better than Messi-Lite who, as predicted, is back to flicks and backheels and losing posession. :roll:

Typical Wenger stupidity in taking off a striker on a hat trick. God forbid he let's one of them get their hat trick and have a confidence boost! :banghead:

No matter what the situation there are certain cúnt managers no Gooner should EVER fucking cheer on and Pubis is deffo on that list. Behave yourselves, bitches. :oops: :wink:

Yeah, what were they thinking, huh? That hat trick against the chav was - oh, hang on... :roll:

Getting a couple against the Ghost of Graham Taylor and his shit WBA side is fine, but let's see if Lacazette can get a few against citeh, the chav, manure, the scum and the mousers before we start talking about the "next Henry" huh?

Could have been a couple down at half time, rode our luck & played better second half against a 'bunch of butchers' !. 3 points - here we come 7th pos. Fursday cup again maybe next year !. :barscarf: :barscarf:

Pretty poor first half and very lucky not to ship in at least one. They posed no threat after that and despite hardly setting the world alight and scoring from two set pieces, it hardly looked nervy.

I like Lacazette, he's impressed me and he has much more of a goal scoring instinct than the likes of Giroud, Welbeck etc. Leave off the "new Henry" stuff though, must be a wind-up.

No surprise to see Pulis attention-seeking about nasty old Arsenal and the world's anti-Pulis agenda. 11 games at Arsenal, 11 defeats.

Poor performance in the first half. West Brom could have been up by 3 if it wasn't for luck and Monreal's clearance.

We looked better in the second half but still shaky in the back.

Xhaka looks short of confidence
Ramsey's positioning was fantastic but his teammates rarely found him
Alexis was losing the ball way too often for my liking
Moreal was immense!
Kolasinac bossed the game too. He was always looking to drive forward instead of going for the sideways passing

Overall an okay performance...

The biggest problem with Ramsey is concentration.

Without trying to sound like Wonga "overall" hes playing pretty well at the moment. Making some cracking runs and creating some decent chances for himself and the team. You also cant fault his effort but he always comes close to spoiling anything good he does by giving away the ball from the simplest of passes.

He was very lucky he didn't have an assist for WBA next to his name in that first half.

The other problem seems to be ego. He has a good game where he is disciplined and does his job like he did against the chav. Next game, you can almost guarantee he'll be back to the silly pointless backheels and flicks in full-on Messi-Lite mode. I honestly believe it's down to Wenger (yeah I know... I'm agenda-whoring etc :lol: ). I reckon Wenger tells him in those midweek training sessions "Look. Aaron you were the MOTM. Look. You are world class. Look. Express yourself leedle beet more." :|

Saw Pullis on SSN this morning...simple fact is he still is an obnoxious tool..Yeah should have had penalty blah blah..
Sanchez dived ?? Hand on his chest Mr Pullis..definitely went down easily but does the "felt contact and was entitled to go down " only apply to British players.?
Like Cologne game recently Arsenal were dire in first half but much better in second..Better but nowhere near a title challenging side...

I wonder what TGOGT thought about his player trying to pull Sanchez' jersey off him in their box? :rubchin:

He didn't mention that?! I'm genuinely shocked! :shock:

As nailed on as theirs was. :roll:
