What they’ve said
Arsene Wenger
‘I’ve said so many times that I want the fans to be rewarded,’ Wenger said. ‘We have to deal with pressure a little better and not transform that desire into tension. I felt that’s what happened against Manchester City.
‘This team wants to do so much that we start nervous. I’ve always been 100 per cent appreciative of the attitude of the players. Their qualities are absolutely outstanding.’

pp12, I want to make only one comment on Giroud performance and that is as follows: You never should exclude he is doing something right and therefore he deserve to be played.

We are only seeing 60% of Girouds potential, he hasn't hit it off for some reason but he will get there. But then again, the whole team apart from Jack is under performing most games!

Their finishing is awful though.
and when that happens and the other players don't score either, someone is gonna pay on this board at least for the fans frustration. Personally, I blame Wenger (unless that clown, currently at African Cup plays) but most round here blame the strikers cos that's their job, to score.
Imagine how this board would of been now if we were to lose

Stan hello.Yeah right. But its not necessary to comment on every single mistake and put down the player. Its not all cack which came from Wacott and Giroud. At times they had bad luck. I am not going to look for excuses because they both are strikers and should score.
Our performance was good tonight and we deserved the win.

True, players should not be judged on every individual performance but that's what you get here. I remember that when we used to score for fun but concede a lot as well, the defenders and goal keepers were the scapegoats.
I was impressed with our performance.
Night pp1212!

Stan, it was our best performance for a long long time.
Swansea had no chance what so ever.
