Arsenal 2013- 2014

Great result with the other tough fixtures at the top of the table this weekend. Really appreciate Giroud's effort, although wasn't a great performance from the rest of the team. The midfield still seems a bit disjointed, don't think we've found our perfect fit yet.

Spot on with your comments regarding Giroud and our midfield.
I thought Giroud was superb today, in both boxes subtly and decisively brilliant. Moreover, he held the ball up really well.
Midfield we were weak and credit to Southampton and their manager, well organised in midfield and they matched us at least for 70 mins.
More credit to Southampton, first time this season that i have watched them play live, they pass the ball, try to keep possession and press well. They try to play football. They have had a great start to their season and i hope it continues for them, good luck to them.
 
I think we look good when we don't have the ball, we shuffle back, we probe and press. We seem to be more confident at the back.

Four points clear at the top, the others can challenge us.

It unlikely but if Dortmund lose tonight then a draw is good enough for us to qualify.
Don't have the team sheets yet but it looks like Flamini is back replacing Wilshire.

We are getting a bit sloppy even though we utterly dominate. Need to up the tempo going forward. Now the ref is starting to malfunction.
 
Wow, great start but what a flat first half. Clearly problems again with everyone getting into the stadium before kick off.
Marseille are dreadful. We are playing ok, just sloppy in the final third. Mertesacker is having another great match, Sagna playing well again. I think Ozil is having a shocker. Game should be well and truly over.
Would like to see Gnabry on in the second half, he will destroy them.
 
It's really infuriating seeing all those empty seats at the restart, especially the second tier. Is it any wonder the atmosphere is flat? West Brom fans were very loud last night and so were Cardiff fans on Sunday.
