**** me what a goal from Laca what a rocket

 

[Yas786]

Now ffs arsenal defend

 

[Yas786]

Ozil off Welbz on.

 

[The_One]

duh duh duh danny Welbeck

 

[Somnambulist]

The way their keeper went full statue mode then made me LOL.

There were jokes before the season started about how given the defence it might be a case of 'score more than them' and... well.

 

[The_One]

we've employed the old kevin keegan philosophy

you score 3 we'll score 4

 

[fez]

Fredje dropped for United. I’m sure he will complain about his midfield come the next transfer window.

 

[Yas786]

What the hell was Cech doing so far out of his goal

That was too close for comfort. Again our defence undoing all our good work offensively :/.

 

[Yas786]

Lol didn’t realise just how small Torreira is .
Plays like a terrier though.

 

[The_One]

does emery wear a tub of grease in his hair

 

[Yas786]

Well 3 pts from a very scrappy game, not helped by our shoddy and frankly pathetic defence.

Not impressed by our performance today, should have smashed Cardiff into the ground today.

Laca with his rocket of a goal probably the only highlight of the game for me.

 

[Somnambulist]

Not pretty, but last season that would have likely been a defeat, so at least that's an improvement!

 

[explicit4u]

International break then we've got a nice run of fixtures including 4 games in a row at home, hopefully Emery learns from this and starts Laca with Auba, and for god sake please drop Xhaka.

 

[trigg_27]

At least we win away under Emery, but we don't do things the easy way do we?

Slight improvement defensively but there's a lot more work needed

Improved defensively? What the hell were you watching?

cardiff only had 4 chances to score all game and converted two of them. That's an improvement from previous matches where the opposition chances reached double figures

That’s because Cardiff are poor. Any decent team would have had a field day today.

Yep that’s what scares me, there are much better mid table teams than Cardiff and if we continue to play defence like we have been...we are going to get hammered.

 

[Robbo]

Fellaini will save us (no, really).

Our first away win this calendar year...
