The Difference?

What has made the difference in the last 2 games?

Has it been the opposition? Has it been the personnel? Has it been tactical? What do people think? Whatever it is, it's working.

Some people think the defensive difference is due to Fabianski barking orders, or due to the defense watching videos of the performances alone and finally analysing the defense in detail. Others think that dropping Vermaelen has been key, or that the midfield is actually more balanced without Wilshere.

The future is looking a little brighter today. It's depressing that we're excited that Arsenal might get 4th...but it's a start right!?

I cant believe its taken 3/4 of the season to wake the manager and club up to the realities. Atrocious.

to be fair it's not like we outplayed Bayern but we grinded out a good result. then we beat a mid table team. don't think we've done anything that special.

Since when have Arsenal been know for Griding out results??

Also Swansea at home are a very good team and we controlled the match after 20Mins.

In both games we hardly gave the opposistion any clear chances and we took 2 ourselves.

I'd rahter we where solid at the back as we have players capable of unlocking any defence in the world.

Give me a 1-0 win over a 3-1/3-2 any day of the week.

Obviously 3-0 would be better but the team needs to think Clean sheet 1st, score goals 2nd.

If you keep a clean sheet it means you cant lose the game.

Well said Boss, if we can continue to be defensively solid and strengthen our strike force for next season, we cant go wrong

I'm not saying we don't deserve credit but we need to do it for more than 2 games before saying everything's changed, we need to show some consistency until the end of the season. The team is more than capable.

Your right 8Bit lets do it for a min 4-5 Games in a row before getting fully excited.

IMO he team is capable but then they get overconfident. Thinking its only (Insert Rubbish PL Team) we can beat them with ease and when they think like this we either lose or draw.

Thats where Fergie rules imo as he gets the players up for it every game unlike Wenger.

I think there has been a much more practical approach to defending recently. Also there is a slightly more confident and patient approach with regards to approaching games, it is amazing what a bit of confidence can do.

We need to keep attention to stay solid at the back and going behind with one goal first. We can score at every point of the game then.

That should be the tactics for our games to come.
