Has that been a bad, OK or decent performance? I'm not sure I can make up my mind. I guess bits of it were good. We tried some nice things, but most didn't come off. I don't think Charlie helped, first half, holding on to it too long, Ireland was much better. We lacked penetration; but then today it was a proper 4-5-1, with the wide two as proper wingers, trying to get crosses in (which I found a little bit strange, when we weren't 4-4-2?). Although Arse weren't peppering our goal, every time they stepped up a gear - counter-attacking wise - they threatened. But it was three or four poor bits of defending. Stupid free kicks and then poor marking at them. I think I'm disappointed, even though I was expecting a loss today; it was after all Arse at their place. We have played better and a couple of players let us down a bit today - If he sticks to form, Hughes will drop them next week. That said, both Ireland and Palacios looked in good nick, so there were positives. Ireland for Charlie next Saturday, I hope. We picked it back up well after the Liverpool defeat; see if we can pick it back up again against Naaarwich.

3-1 flatters Arsenal beyond belief. Our lack of a clinical striker and switching off on set pieces cost us badly.
We ended up having 51% possession according to the BBC site!

Top of the League for a team that can't get out of their own half at home lol really shows the standard of the prem has dropped Naw easy first few matches for them... They're toughest part of the season begins in a few weeks... They won't finish top playing like that away lucky set pieces ala stoke under pulis oddly.

Disapointed but there were plenty of indications that we are getting there.

That Ozil fella needs to step up his involvement in the "Arsenal way" if he wants to be an Arsenal legend , unlike the rest of the Arsenal team who's stock tactic is to throw yourself to the ground the moment a Stoke player puts a tackle in, St Saviour Ozil actually stayed on his feet,I'm sure Wenger will soon put a stop to that !!
Shocking 'homer' display by Dean ,who may of well have stayed at home and just leant his whistle to Wilshere.
Rare poor day at the office for Bego ,and Walters and Jones offered little ....again.
It's a shame that the 3-1 scoreline is going to give the impression it was a straight forward win , when for moments we looked capable of pinching a point.
But God knows what Sir Tony of Pulis would have made of Arnautovic though and his fancy flicks and lay offs !!!
And as for the dozen or so Arsenal fans who booed Ryans every touch !.....Well I hope they didn't wake up all those 'Gooners' taking their very peaceful quiet afternoon sleep.

Think we played well today, scoreline dose not relect the game, we should have had a point, Arnatovic looks like he could be that , whats coming next player, that we been missing, Cameron looked good, some nice passing by a lot of the team, need to be a lot better at finishing, but bad defending, Adam was/is terrible and Bego had a bad day,

Comfortable win for Arse according to the beeb, looks like Stevie Wonder is this weeks guest post match review columnist.
Altogether chuffed with the lads today, used to dread the weekends when we were playing away, im happy to lose to the bigger teams aslong as we give it a go.
Im predicting plenty of points on the road this season.

In place of Walters with any luck Sod that, for the worst player on the pitch today hopefully. It was a toss up between me wanting him to replace Walters or Adam but I've just about seen what I can from Walters it's getting embarrassing, Adam had a bad game today but if he has a good game he does offer something, Walters doesn't
