For far too long the Emirates crowd had nothing to sing about
It shows when the team put in a performance the fans will go mental
It's up to Wenger and the team to give us supporters more of the same
Well done boys.

Now the hard work really starts mate, we've been here a few times before, inspired by a one off performance.
The difference to me appears to be the mental attitude, Koscielny and Mustafi along with Coquelin have this you shall not pass attitude, look what it's doing for the rest, for all the great football and goals it is often little things like Bellerins lightening cover tackle that also inspires team mates.
Theo's willingness to follow Sanchez's example and use his speed going backward as well as forward is another.
Wenger now has to ensure that this exact team attitude goes out onto the pitch against everyone, from Burnley (no offence) to Barcelona.
We love it if our players show the same desire to play for our team as we do to support our team.

Good post Malaga. I'm really really liking the kostufi partnership. For me it also brings out the best in kos as he isn't covering his partner at times during the game. And mustafi isn't afraid to run and put a tackle in exactly like kos does. They could go a long way to helping us compete.

Totally agree the mentality has been our biggest weakness in seasons gone by.
Big question is Aaron Ramsey, What happens when he's fit?
Will Arsene insist on playing him on the right?
Aaron is an excellent player but surely his strengths are in the positions currently occupied by Caz and Mesut not by Theo or Iwobi, its not always about getting your best 11 players on the pitch at the same time but putting your best team out there and the two things don't always go hand in hand imo.

Mustafi appears more mobile and fearless compared to mert and is more aware than gab. Appears to be communicating well with kos and both covered costa when the other was elsewhere. Liked the little shove that kos gave costa then just ran off knowing it would make him explode.

Spot on malaga.
