    We forgive players anything in return for goals, don't we?

    Especially great goals.

    But fúck me, Sanchez was dreadful last night. Was he doing it on purpose?

    Very much a victim of the summer shenanigans. Every poor performance and misplaced touch the subject of over analysis.

    I even made a comment last night that I thought he looked mighty pissed off in the pre-match pitch line up. He probably didn’t, just his normal facial expression.

    Still, should have sold him.

    My judgement has nothing to do with the events of the summer, sw. Giving the ball away is a standard part of his game, but last night, Jesus Holy Christ. He might as well have been playing for them.

    Useless.

    Well indeed he has always given the ball away more than the normal amount (for us), his other brilliance allowed him to get away with this in the the eyes of most fans.

    This year I expect leniency will be less forthcoming.

    Which is why I have always been so surprised that Pep wanted him.

    He'd drive the skinny Catalan chap mental I reckon.

    Agreed. You never quite know with Manchester City though; with all that money, they could afford to just use Alexis as an impact sub, or something like that.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Dreadful and pissed off he still scored the second and had a huge hand in the third. Without his contirubtions we wouldn't have won.

    I don't know, young Jack was magnificent in his 20 minute cameo. We were cutting them apart at will towards the end

    I really hope we keep him, offers something most other players don't..... with the slack we cut Diaby i feel it would be wise to TRY to get him to sign a contract

    Classiest player on the pitch from the moment he ran on. Given the events of the past 12 months, almost any other player I can think of would have been lashing at a ball rolled to him along the 18 yard, imagining it nestling in the top corner; Wilshere stepped over it and created a goal.
