Surely someone had to take one for the team there to stop him. Decent goal but how many players did he push off?

No one really, Coquelin was just being ridiculous, he did hold him off, Kos didn't even do anything, he just backed off then half heartedly put a leg out, no strength there, he basically didn't put up a fight.
Seriously in that situation Kos comes out, Mustafi moves across and AOC/Coq kill themselves to get in behind Kos. Instead Coquelin, just tried to run behind him, AOC did nothing at all, Mustafi was waiting for other players to mark and Kos just backed off till he was too scared to try to tackle properly for fear of a red card. No one did anything correctly.

Jesus, terrible ball from Ozil to Monreal who is now caught out. With monreal caught up the pitch Coquelin attempts to stop the counter by being almost static then stepping forward, went around him like he wasn't there. Coquelin in so many games ends up doing just about the exact wrong thing in almost every situation throughout the game. Delay, back off and mark, close angles and slow them down, particularly when the fullback is missing you can't afford to take yourself out of the attack.
He's lucky the move broke down or that would be his fault again.

I'd hardly call it a classic goal. We just made it easy for him. It was nothing special.
Might as well give Chelsea the cup now.
We've ****ed it for other teams now at least.
Time to ditch our dinosaur of a manager. Same old Arsenal year after year. It's boring.

Trying to decide what's worse, that Wilshere wasn't recalled, or that training with another team has allowed him to play a shedload of games without injury.....
Easily better than Elneny, Coquelin and Xhaka, Ramsey, AOC but we loan him out because 'he' can't get fit, when imo, it's something that is down to the club, medical staff, facilities or style of training that is responsible for his injuries.
How we loaned him out because he wasn't deemed good enough, but Ramsey, AOC and Coquelin get loads of games I don't know. Wenger is just an idiot. Same guys again failing to show up when the big game comes around.

Well, the midfield has kinda gone, Ozil, Iwobi and AOC... lol. Iwobi isn't a defensive player at all, neither is Ozil and AOC tries hard but is actually so bad defensively. He gives it away in our third so often with stupid passes.
AOC, Ramsey, Walcott should have been moved on years ago. AS earlier, we should have bought a top DM years ago who would hopefully have improved Coquelin, instead you've got one idiot learning from another idiot with absolutely no improvement in years in how our defence is organised in a midfield sense.
lol, we've got Wenger's special formation playing now, put every attacker on... no plan, no system, just praying something happens. We don't usually see the panic formation till the final 10mins though.

I'm a neutral but I'm sure it will be remembered for years to come by Chelsea fans
I was just thinking how useful Wiltshire would be right now.
One thing i never get with Arsenal is their lack of depth in midfield. On paper they have loads of it but realistically Ramsey, Cazorla and Chamberlain will a lot of time injured and Xhaka was a hot head before Arsenal and is now....why not strengthen?
Seems ridiculous tbh.

Coquelin went off for Giroud. With the panic formation it's often hard to tell what the hell the formation is supposed to be as we generally lose real shape when we do it. Currently the midfield is AOC and Iwobi, Giroud upfront, Welbeck wide left, Sanchez wide right and Ozil behind Giroud... I mean with this formation he SHOULD drop deep and help the midfield, but he won't.
