I imagine we'll have a couple more "stars" on the bench for that one.

"We're all individuals!"
I've enjoyed that first half. A much better match than League Cup fixture the other day. It's just lacking some goal mouth action. I don't think there has been a shot on target from either team. Gnabry and Mertesacker my pick of the bunch, very impressed by both.
World class passing goal. So beautiful. Gorgeous Gnabry. He is already my Man of the Match.
Wow! That second goal (Ramsey) is even better. Goal of the season contender. Astonishing passing.
That was a great second half.
Ramsey, scores again and wins Man of the Match again! I would have given it to Gnabry but Ramsey in the second half was a different player to the error prone Ramsey in the first half. Sagna was at fault for the Swansea goal, still a nice goal. I want Jenkinson as first choice right back.
Ozil and Wilshere had relatively poor performances and i think the problem relates to where they play. One central, one left, alternating? It's a nice problem to have but it needs sorting.
Mertesacker had another big game, not keen on him being captain but it is working and i will go with it. Koscielny partnered him well. Gibbs was good if a bit moody, possibly the best left back in the country at the moment. Had a lot to deal with today, Dyer was very lively.
What can you say about Flamini? He went about his business in front of the back four almost unnoticed. We are robust at the back when under pressure and we close down the opposition well in our final third of the pitch. Ramsey and Flamini, it's a tasty combination.
I thought Gnabry had an outstanding match and was unlucky not to win Man of the Match. Three very good performances in the space of a week. Very happy with him in the first team.
Giroud did not have his shooting boots on today but at times his link up play was lovely and again his movement was good. Would like to see him hold the ball up better.
Only a 20,000 capacity at The Liberty stadium but both sets of supporters made a lot of noise which contributed to my enjoyment of the match.
Two point clear at the top of the Table.
This is a Title winning team.

Its too early to say we are going to win anything lets see what we do in November against the big boys and only then will we get an idea of what we are going to do.

Looking forward to this. I think we could be in for an evening of high drama.

Will be interesting to see if the ghost of Higuain haunts us tonight.
I'm confident we can win this 3-1 after coming back from a goal (Higuain) down and a bad first half.
(I also think it could be a 3-3 draw)

Rosicky and Arteta start, Higuain does not.
Yet another quality goal. Ozil's first and a great assist from Ramsey.

cracking finish
Ol la la la 2-0
The best opening 15 mins i have seen in a long while. This team is not short of confidence, neither should we be.

This is fantastic on our part so far. Against a decent team too.

I'm glad we got two early goals. I have a feeling Napoli will come out for a fight in the second half.
Total domination in the first half from the very outset. Superb performance, arguably the best first half we have had this season.
Ramsey is having a blinder, i hope he is not injured. If he comes out in the second half he may well win another Man of the match award.
Sagna who i have criticised on this thread is having a good game. Flamini even had a shot on goal and i liked the way he interacted with the ref when he was about to get booked, his body language and deference to the ref whilst being passionate in his own defence is the mark of experience. I love Rosicky when he is fully fit, having a good one so far.
What a pleasure to watch us dominate a more than decent team and not feeling pressured at home.
The crowd have been fantastic and very vocal.

I think they are a busted flush. We must not give them any confidence early on. I think we are going to destroy them.
