The MIGHTY Arsenal powered through to another win, climbing the table to crazy nosebleed heights. Yes people, we are 4th, a mere two points off the top of the table and it’s October. Wow, wow, wow!
There was a lot to enjoy from our trip to Craven Cottage, firstly, Emery rotated his squad hard leaving key names like Ramsey and Auba on the bench. Mesut Ozil didn’t even make the squad for some reason. Surely he’s not ducking Fulham away? I know it’s only minor, but Wenger really was poor at rotating his squads. He played the same team over and over in the league, which led to December breakdowns. It was great to see our manager trust some of the fringe players, and the gamble paid off.
Same story, a first half that wasn’t really much to write home about. We took the lead when Lacazette made space for himself and scored on the turn. We then slipped up just before halftime after Nacho Monreal gave the ball away, Schurlle took the chance, chipping Leno.
The second half we really found our feet. Lacazette scored a second with a blistering shot from about 25 yards. Things started getting sexy when Auba and Ramsey came onto the pitch. The Welshman scored an unbelievable goal that broke from our goal area. There was a sexy backheel from Bellerin, there was a header from Ramsey. A beautiful swept pass from Mikhi. Topped off with a perfect back of the heel finish. Goal of the month contender without doubt!
If that’s what peak Emeryball looks like, feed me it to me all day long.
There was still time for Auba to bang in two goals. One came from a tight angle in the box. The other was him breezing onto a through ball.
5-1 was a rout. Fulham really did get outclassed and outworked in the second half. I think what was most satisfying about it was simple: we should sweep sides away like that, and we did.
There were still concerns. We’re porous at the back. Fulham had some great chances in the first half, easily getting in behind us. Lucky for us, they had an off day in front of goal. However, outside a few dodgy moments, our midfield looked very good. Torreira and Xhaka looked very comfortable sitting at the base. Arsenal reverted to a 4-4-2 for this match, which looked like a 4-2-2-2 at times. We looked at ease, and that was resting three of our best players.
The keeper is growing in confidence, he made a really good save in the first half, and his skill on the ball really is exciting to watch. The defence looks more comfortable with him at the back, let’s hope he keeps the confidence going so there’s no way back for Cech.
Lacazette was excellent again. He’s such a grafter up front. What he lacks in physical presence he more than makes up for by being a constant pain in the backside. His two finished were world class. More to come from him as the season cranks on.
Finally, it was great to hear the fans sing ‘we’ve got our Arsenal back.’ I found it super weird that a section of the fanbase were up in arms about that song, because for once, it seems the fanbase are unified behind the direction of the club. People are happy, the team is winning, and the club is progressing in the right direction. Top 4 feels like a realistic target this year. Let’s just hope Mourinho stays at United past December, and let’s keep ’em crossed Spurs continue to look average.
9 wins on the bounce. The head of steam is gathering. We’re going to be in good shape for that Liverpool game if we can tighten the backline.

Excuse the repost but had just typed it! Is there any chance that we can get past the Wenger years?

Samsung, you refer to angry fans…the anger appears to be with Bankz who appears to be on ‘your side’ off the name calling-fence.
Looks like Pedro missed the game or is in a hurry or has stuff to attend to but I it’s such a bland post after our best game in at least year and a half since that FAC final win vs Chelsea.
Maybe he doesn’t want to write home about Emeryball finally taking off and erupting in a complete performance.
I imagine his reaction if we had a game like this with Arteta as our manager. He’d be praising his visionary skills like it’s the second coming of Jesus. LOL
“Let’s just hope Mourinho stays at United past December,”
lol we wants him to stay!! More seriously, I think he won’t be there anymore next year.

As long as you and others accept that history speaks for itself, then you have my total support.
Don’t though hide behind this “let’s all unite” rhetoric when quite clearly some on here see themselves as being totally blameless for our failings in recent years.
Accepting ones mistakes is key if you want the fanbase to unite, regrettably though we had a manager who didn’t give a fudge what we all felt.
Then again, you knew that anyway.

Thenry, are you a plant or do you really want to antagonise people who appear to be already full of rage? You’re giving fuel to Samsung, Joe and others to rant on about our previous manager and to continue the divisions that exist (painfully,tediously)in some sections of our fanbase.
we all know EMERY….might not be as successful as wenger was at arsenal….also he surely ain’t gonna be shit as wenger was for the past ten years of his life….
You cannot stop fans enjoying themselves after yesterday’s win. We’ve listened FOR YEARS how after Wenger we’d drop positions, how Wenger is maximizing our players potential, how “when you look around” “you don’t find any better candidates than Arsène Wenger”, how it’s the evil american’s fault for not spending money, how the players are not good enough, how it’s THE FANS fault for being negative at the stadiums and in the social media and raising banners across the whole world?!?!?!?!?!

Michael, you are more guilty than most of dredging up the past. It’s almost like you have the need to justify your extreme position of wanting Arsenal to lose last season to enable change to happen. Now you might argue that you were being virtuous; anybody who didn’t hope for an Arsenal defeat or considered supporting another team as exemplary ‘fan behaviour’. You are obviously entitled to that position but it appears that the criticism you got for that still stings. You and others have created a narrative that the AKBs (I really hate typing that pervasive, lazy term) or… Read more »
@ddkinz you silly cunt an unbeaten season requires massive mental strength or did you forget that
Wenger had lots of straight winning runs like the one we had when we overhauled Man U to win the title
You sound like a plastic fan so no doubt you dont remember such runs
Now run along like a good little girl and go play with your dolls
The real positives from recent games are: 1. GOALKEEPER. I believe that Leno is proving to be a competent goalkeeper with good reflexes, anticipation and positional sense. I would make him first string. Cech is still a good shot stopper, but lacks mobility. He should now be selected as second string to play in less important games. 2. DEFENSIVE/CENTRAL MIDFIELD. We have now got four options to play these positions in Torreira, Xhaka, Guendouzi and Elneny. The first two should partner each other in the EPL and any other important games. Guendouzi is a good replacement to play from bench… Read more »
TheBlaster, agree with your post. Our Lac/PEA combination is serious. Opposition teams are going to have to get really close to those two- let them turn at your peril! I’m hoping Minslat is working hard to find a really top quality CB (23/24 years old ideally). Just like with Liverpool, one quality CB being brought in will make a fantastic difference, just like Torreira has done in CM. Trying hard not to build expectation up too much but it’s happily difficult not to get too excited. International breaks are annoying but at least for this one our most recent performance… Read more »

“without him (Wenger) we would have been a backwater club”
Quote of the day so far.
Don’t feed the trolls, people. We really should be beyond much of this stuff. New manager, new era. We had a good game yesterday and things are looking brighter; people should be enjoying themselves.
Club just announced we switch to Adidas in July 2019, btw.
Does anyone have a list of which players will be on/off international duty?
Agree with your points ES,
Might just add that with our FBs, they are often ambitious passing out the back, which is probably being encouraged. This can lead to a dangerous ‘turnover’ if their passes are inaccurate/careless.
Do we need better FBs or should they be more conservative passing out of the back, to avoid giving opportunities to our opposition?
I feel Leno’s better distribution will really be beneficial to the FBs, giving them a little more space and time to develop our play and therefore hopefully avoid turnovers.
Thenry, Wikipedia arsenal
It will do you a world of good learning about arsenal pre wenger
Bob16,
I am completely with you regarding the whole “let’s unite as a fan base” and get on with supporting the team, they were the first words I commented here on hearing of wengers sacking, but as has become customary with Arsenal fans, I got abuse back.
I also agree it’s 2 sided, maybe this will peter out at some point, but in meantime if the likes of Pierre and victorious throw insults my way, I will throw them back.
I think the constant wenger throwbacks will disappear when arsenal are competing for the league and cL
Whether that will be this season, next or farther away remains to be seen
Stroller
A good assessment of the game/team.
We look like a team full of goals and at long last we are playing with 2 holding/defensive midfielders who know their job.
Good substitutions again from Emery .
China
Its ironic that I am heading to China tomorrow while you will be heading out on a holiday.
I had to admit, that when Wenger left, I struggled to get excited with Arsenal.
But Emery is doing his best to make me emotionally invested again.
Lets do it!
lol crying out loud Thenry, calm down. There’s literally still blogs available with like minded people who share the same views as you. Your not going to change the majority view on here so why try.
Let people be happy with their club, if it can’t bring us joy then what is the point of following Arsenal so avidly??
“the “be careful what you wish for” chant”
Official Untold’s anthem.
Arsenal made Arsene Wenger — not the other way around.
The sky hasn’t exactly fallen in on the Arsenal as we were told it would has it? If anything the sky is the limit!
Change was long long long overdue. I appreciate what Wenger did in his first decade at Arsenal, but the truth is he overstayed his welcome. Why is it so offensive to some to state the obvious?
Are we literally going to have to suffer Wenger obsessed fans until the end of time? It’s already insufferable.
Edd
“Excellent performance yesterday.The team was better balanced with Iwobi and Mhki on the flanks. I dare say Iwobi was one of the star performers yesterday.”
agreed, although Iwobi has been bright pretty much every game he’s played this season. and nice to see Holding repaying Emery’s trust in him with some sound performances.
True dat black!
Welcome to China? Where you going and what you up to? I haven’t been everywhere but probably have some tips if you need any!
Time to forget Wenger and Gazidis and Arteta, all of them dead as dodos, we have Emery. The guy is amazing, For me, better Welbeck than Ozil any time. Let’s hope the seventeen milliiom pa man is gone come January. Bellerin? One dreadful mistake,,but also some good stuff. Xhaka? Coming along nicely, Maybe Emery is working his magic on both?

The full backs I feel have slightly reigned it in and are timing their runs better plus bellerin is much more composed in the final third.
Our attacking and creative options are up there with the best …Torriera,although regarded as a destructive player he is also very perceptive in his passing and as his confidence grows he will be the driving force in the team.
@thenry:___you fat fuck face shit.
my comments said ten years: from 2007/08 till he got go SACKED
you who allowed wenger to jerk himself into your mouth,…
you are talking about a history of 15yrs back….about the invisibles season…surely now I know you live in the closet/past…
when Emery won everything in France last season…
has won a European trophy, not once but three in a row….
what the almighty God of you AKB’S couldn’t achieve with one man down, and also when our opponents were one man down at the Emirates…..
you are a fucked up loser…
Don’t know how you still class Ozil as ‘one of the 3 best players’
just showed yesterday how well we function without him.
He does not fit the pressing style where the whole team has to work. hes a worm.
Also a very bland post today. imagine the rhetoric had Arteta been the head coach!
Almost as if its just been forced out because you cant not put one up.
Cant wait to see the analysis when we lose a game.
Raptora
I’m sure you are an intelligent person so let’s not pretend that their are/were only a select few who questioned Emery’s initial early tactics and team selections .
I would say 80/90% of the posters on here were a little confused as to what he was doing ,probably even yourself.
Those initial worries are evaporating which is a credit to Emery as he isn’t stubbornly sticking to his original idea of how he wanted the team to play .
Why do people engage blatant trolls on here? baffles me.
We could make a case to start Welbeck especially in the away games. He did tire their CBs, was good with the ball at his feet, gave us speed, power, won several long balls and guess what – “Danny Welbeck created more chances than anyone on the pitch at Craven Cottage, helping himself to one assist”. Ain’t that a nice stat hmm.
Interesting stat from @Orbinho:
Opposition shots allowed in the Premier League—
1 Man City 39
2 Liverpool 46
17 Arsenal 88
18 Fulham 98
19 Brighton 99
20 Burnley 106
Danny s
Will be interesting to see how ozil reacts to the events of yesterday as he must have been impressed with what he was watching .
Could go either way for him …has he got the personality and will power to up his game to the elite level as it is obvious that Emery likes the work and physical ethic of welbeck and iwobi ..will be interesting to see how it pans out.
Bob 16
The real concern is that both full backs are too often out of position and this leads to defensive problems centrally particularly if opposition have tricky
wide players.
Most pundits and posters refer to Fulham’s weaknesses on the flanks, but
little has been discussed about our deficiencies on wing. The left side of our
defence was frequently left exposed when Schurrle and others played wide.
raptora
Re: 10:09 post.
Nice response.
I don’t know why so many posters are still obsessed with Wenger and their
perceived view of AKBs.
There is very little comment these days about Wenger. He has left the club
and we have a new head coach backed by a management which includes Sanhelli and Mislintat.
Even Steve Bould looked happier and responsive when you watched yesterday’s game.
Let’s focus on the future and not the past.
Iwobi was our main outlet yesterday though. Yes, Laca got MotM and was excellent throughout the game, but it’s much more normal for him to switch up the gears as he came here with a solid portfolio. But it was the Nigerian who wreaked havoc among the opponent’s defence by taking on players every single chance he had. We know that this type of aggressive dribbling will not always work, as we saw it yesterday, but when it does it gives us such a threat down the flanks that EVERY team needs to have in their ranks. Before the start… Read more »
As Pierre was saying, most of us were confused by some of Emery’s team selections in the first few games but as most of us considered, he had to be given time to deal with the players he’d inherited. The line up yesterday is pretty close to what a lot of us were hoping for, industry, defensively coupled with elite finishing. Ozil and Ramsey not in our starting line up. My Mum’s given me all the letters I sent her back in the day… a lot of references to Arsenal 1973-78. Here’s one…’Arsenal won 3-2 and are sixth. Stupid Peter… Read more »

Maybe a good guide on if or how we have improved would be to show figures from the first 5 games to the last 5 games to see if there is an improvement on opposition shots …
I think there must be a slight improvement.
raptora
Iwobi played very well on Thursday. He was okay yesterday, but not at the same level.
What Iwobi can and does offer is the ability to support both attack and defence when required. He may not be as creative as Mkhitaryan and Ozil, but he can and does put in a better workload.
We are beginning to see a much better work ethic in team than last season.
Bernie Leno seems more comfortable on the ball than Cech. Quicker off his line as well. Still fills me with nervousness once a match. But, if we want to attack more, the #1 shirt is his. Mustafi had a good game yesterday. Did well to shackle big Mitrovic. Been consistently critical of Holding, but he’s done enough to keep Sokratis out of the side. One goal allowed in last three PL matches. We played well yesterday and deserved the three pts. Fulham were a stylish side last year but they give up an awful lot of chances. Most goals allowed… Read more »

Boys really have hit the ground running, absolutely relentless even when they weren’t playing that well. You can see the desire to do well, to win your place in the team, the competition for places is fantastic.

“Ask Bamford his views on Emery, even he’s managed to be balanced and offer up more than a cupping of Unai’s jewels. ”
Saying where we have to improve is one thing, I’ve done that numerous times including wrong starting lineups and namely Cech playing with fire playing out from the back, but magnifying the problems and absolutely focusing on them without seeing the good things and not seeing us as a work in progress but demanding fluid plan and execution after 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 games is what a select few of the posters in here have done.
I love our little terrier Torreira.

Ahh like I said, poster and not posted. Bamford and co can critique but when someone you don’t like comes on and says anything similar it transforms from critique to criticism.
Well I’ve only mentioned where we stand to improve (I notably stated 10 league games before any valid ideas, and Jan before any judgements) so my inclusion in your list speaks to your penchant for side taking.
With you Ole, Torreira is fast becoming my new favourite player…
Cech, Welbeck, Lichtensteiner, Ramsey and Welbeck all have expiring contracts this summer. Cech’s contract expires this season… why not hire him as our GK coach or a scout? I think we should give the cup games to either Martinez or Iliev to gain experience to support Leno. As this season has shown, an opportunity is only I’d sign Monreal up for another year, he’s still a very useful player and even if we get another LB, he can still play in the role that Lichtensteiner is playing this year. Unless Kolasinac really really steps up, we need another dependable LB.… Read more »

They were in the same boat financially as most clubs in that era, but of course they could and did recruit some very good players including from lower divisions, because of their consistent success.

Bob ‘This idea that people who weren’t fervently anti Wenger (AKBs) are now not enjoying a new manager’s success is ridiculous.’ It just highlights the level of thinking and comprehension levels on here.
