Ozil is sh*t, Mikhitaryan is a ManUtd reject, Aubameyang has been better and Lacazette has scored less than Morata or Michi. With Hazard, William and Morata we have a better attacking than they do. 

Ozil has created the most chances out of any player in Europe's Top 5 Leagues since his debut.
Saying Mika is a ManUtd reject is a silly argument, they sold him to get Sanchez, we could easily say De Bruyne or Salah were Chelsea rejects. Auba has been fantastic in the league and while Laca hasn't been doing so well, you only need to look at his record previously.
Who would you rather have?
Morata and Giroud 
or
Auba and Laca

World class is a much overused term. How many get into a world eleven?

Perhaps I'm liberal with the term "World Class", maybe I should be saying "Standard to win you the league" or something to that effect.

I rather have Morata and Giroud. Maybe Auba still can give a couple of years, we will see, but if people complain here about Morata I can't imagine what it would be like if we'd got Lacazette performing as he is for le'arses. Sorry, but to say that Ozil has created the most chances since his debut in the whole of Europe is a bit over the top, specially when they haven't won any league and have been consistently sh*t in Europe. Plus he is seriously under scrutiny for his lack of commitment. And Mikhitaryan may be a good squad player, and I think he is good, but waaaaaay long from being world class.

The point here is that you are saying they have a WORLD CLASS offensive line, and I don't think it compares to ours, where only Hazard is top class (and we will see Morata).

Everton are complete w**k. So much for challenging for a top 4. Auba's goal was offside anyway. Average debut performance. Wouldn't look too much into this result, Spurs vs Arsenal next week will give us a better idea of where they're at. 

Watford and West brom... drop points in these games and top 4 will be difficult. Cant afford to drop points vs smaller sides anymore.

Honestly, all Arsenal need is perhaps a decent defensive midfielder, another good defender and maybe a new goalkeeper and they could challenge for the league next year.
If Conte manages to get Top 4 with our squad, he deserves a lot of credit, credit which should be awarded with big money in the transfer market.

This exact thing has been said for the past 10 years.

I can't believe i will be looking for a Liverpool, Arsenal and Crystal Palace win in the next 3 games. Those are Tottenham's next 3 opponents and it could be the games that end up deciding the top 4. We need to make sure we win our games.

Nothing more satisfying than seeing Spurs' new stadium being newly built ready to host Europa league matches! 

I'm also confident of a win vs United in a few weeks time. 3 points there will help us a lot. I'm not scared of us playing united like I am with the other top 5 teams. Conte has a good record vs Mou

no match is a guaranteed win these days. we've seen what happened to arsenal, liverpool, spurs, utd, city recently, and most of us all when it comes to dropping points. we can easily say points could be dropped by our rivals in specific games, but there's no guarantee. the same as for us. it all depends how teams turn up on the day. could easily say we need to focus on us and winning the rest of our games, but that's going to be virtually impossible. we do, however, need to focus on ourselves and trying to win each game. there's always going to be points dropped in games between two of the rival top 6, but means nothing as from week to week points can be dropped any time against anybody.

I just read that Morata and Giroud are a better option than Aubameyang and Lacazette. Holy f**k. 

Ask Arsenal fans their opinion on lacazette.

Lacazette is garbage. He is gonna get the same amount of minutes as Giroud did.

The Queen has gone in to hiding after Aaron Ramsey scores a hat-trick.

I meant his player debut, in 2006.
And every player under Wenger is, can't imagine he motivates a team that well. 
And Mika was class before he joined United. 

Is Lacazette that bad? Every time I watched him he was pretty decent. Goals dried up but at least he has a great defensive workrate, good and aggressive pressing which I like.

It's weird that so many of the strikers for top teams like Lukaku, Morata and Lacazette started with a bang in scoring nearly 10 goals in the first maybe 10-15 matches and then all lost form.

 

Don't know if anyone is watching the Palace / Newcastle game....good open football so far and Kenedy is having a good game....makes you wonder why he couldn't play more often for us especially as a back up to Alonso

I’ve got it on. Kennedy is playing on the left wing so he’s got cover behind him and a bit more freedom. He’s having a good game.

He's never a defensive minded winger, he isn't a LWB.

What's the best result for us in the bin dippers / spuds game........Liverpool win...draw?  Definitely don't need a spuds victory

Neither was Moses on the right, but he seems to have adapted pretty well.......even though his crossing is diabolically poor for a previously out and out 'winger'

Palace equalised. Kennedy off, Atsu on. 

bit of a strange sub that...

Benteke has to be one of the poorest strikers in the league....ducked out of that header....glad we didn't get him in Jan
