What a shambles Arsenal were at the back.
Then again, when you've got left wing-backs as two of your centre-halves and a right footed midfielder at left wing-back, it's not all that surprising really.
Going forward, Arsenal are always going to overwhelm mid-table defences...they're too good at moving the ball, too quick around the penalty area for the likes of Leicester (and us) to cope with. As usual though, the other top sides will deal with them and then pick them off on the break. I think they'll miss out on the top 4 again this time, to much gnashing of teeth and Wenger Out campaigning in the stands.
Not sure of the best way for a club like Stoke to beat them at The Emirates...do you go all out defence and try to frstrate them with bodies behind the ball or throw caution to the wind, accept they're going to score a couple, and try to cause their shit defence as many problems as possible?

Couldn't agree with you more. Same old Arsenal. Like the look of Kolasinac though. Lacazette a fine player as well, his movement is incredible. |

Sneaky handball from Ozil Arse kept going though, neither of them defended well Good old Arse and their referee mates. |

Although people will complain at the sight of seeing Crouchie on the first eleven for next weeks game v Arsenal, after witnessing their defence last night this match has the makings of being made for him. Plus Crouch always scores against Arsenal. That Crouch and Bojan masterclass v Arsenal at the Brit a few years ago was breathtaking to watch & the Arse couldn't handle them. It was criminal how we weren't 4-0 up at one stage in that match nevermind only winning 3-2! Whilst doubting Bojan will start next week, a forward combo of Crouch and Shaq could disrupt that shaky Arsenal rear guard.
