I really like the counter attacking movement when Walcott is on the pitch. Things start to go into slow mo with Giroud , and he hardly touched the ball. Missed an open goal, and actually scored on the more difficult opportunity.
Place is still up for grabs, and Alexis is BACK ! 1st goal was pure opportunism ,Pires will be proud 2nd goal was pure athleticism , for a small short guy to jump like that. 3rd goal was pure magic, something really special.
I just dont understand , why PizzyBoy is critical bout Sanchez. a) He has totally changed the way we transition from attack to defence b) Works his socks off and presses so well when we dont have the ball c) Runs and defenders and takes them on. Causes all sorts of panic in the box. d) Conjures World Class Goals like the 3rd one. We are lucky to have him. I hope the Euro Vultures dont eye him next summer. If feel, We need to win something good to keep him. euro vultures confirming afc title of selling club. mite prompt chilly ticker 2 act up.

Maybe if you watch his turn overs you'll see why I'm critical, I only saw part of the first half before I had to go out, but from what I saw Leceister were as open as you'll get in epl, something sanchez and theo thrives on.. True, Leicester were very open played high and it was easy for our pacers. So you are saying he is not suited when we are playing other teams who keep it tight?

From The Desk on tape delay:
The Gunners absorbed the initial counter punch to the chin, got off the mat, and then ran riot on a team that wanted to come out and play. A neutral's delight, this one.
Feo not only leveled for his side with the type of goal he is built for, his hold up play and passing with his mates was pretty damn strong for most of the match. There's your striker signing (smiley face).
Ozil 2.0 not only stirred the drink to perfection today, but he seems to be somewhat reborn at the other end of the pitch with better awareness and effort than we have seen from him. Let's hope that this trend becomes part of his make-up.
Flam and Art gave all that their aging bodies had, but it will be nice to have Le Coq added to a revitalized side.
What to say about Alexis... hmmmm.... muy peligroso? He poached, he headed, and he banged, the scorer's trifecta. You get the feeling that a few future opponents are going to be the victims of his dedication to raising his goals per match average.
Many were guilty of being pushed too far forward on Leicester's first, and they were rightly and easily punished. Again, gotta love the fight back, but everyone needs to be conscious of field balance at all times.
Good win on the road against what to now has been a good team. Let's hope the resurgence of the attack can continue beyond today's end to end shoot out.

Just back in London from the match. Fantastic. Away supporters in full voice, 90 minutes.
For what its worth: Last two games attended: 9 Arsenal goals.
Shitty pictures, sun was in eyes. Plus I was drunk. And probably can't take good pictures anyway.

True, Leicester were very open played high and it was easy for our pacers. So you are saying he is not suited when we are playing other teams who keep it tight? Watch for yourselves and you'll find the answer. Did u watch the Monaco tie last year by any chance?

oh crap. I went to watch porn - Missed the first half.
How are we playing guys?
Looks like we will win easy here.
Leicester was giving us a run for our money in the first half but the quality of the side has shone through. Lolwut?! Looks like you quoted him before he had a chance to edit!

Fun game, though I'm hoping our *cough* defense improves from this with Coq out. Mert, especially. Seems he was late to the defensive party more than anyone. I'll chalk it up to his chest infection recovery, but holy smokes.
Fantastic to see the offense click, though. There was some pretty, pretty play there. A special shout out to Leicester who allowed us to play our game by being so open. It almost worked for them, too. They could've been 3-0 up on us with better luck.
