Absolutely wonderful to watch, he was. Quite how he isn’t in the team ahead of that Welsh muppet I have no idea.
You can actually see this coming together; some of our pressing and attacking play at pace was a joy. And I don’t agree that we’re poor defensively. We give the ball away too much trying to play out from the back, but that is different than being poor defensively. In fact, some of defending once we give it away is actually pretty good. Torreira gets some credit there but I think generally we defend dangerous situations better than we used to.
Everything is so much better under Unai
Despite all the tricks and flicks, I think what I loved most about the Ramsey goal was Miki's simple but devastatingly effective pass out to Aubameyang. So many other players would have played it into his feet, rather than the space ahead.
Which is nice, since I've found him to be bang average since we signed him.
I must admit that the recent marginalisation of HM for league games concerned me somewhat so his inclusion and performance for the full 90 minutes was very encouraging, his pass to Aubameyang in that goal was superb and is being overlooked in the overall scheme of said goal.
He is a marvellous footballer when things are good.
Interesting all the same, all played very well from Leno to the subs.
Wd Emery.
Wenger out!
