Same problem as QPR, West Ham & Spurs. Not taking chances when we have them.

Or wasting very good attacking positions. Looking at you Mr. Faster than everyone else on the pitch but won''t dare to try and run past anyone Elliot Bennett. (Think he normally just goes by Elliot Bennett...)

And Hoolahan thinking running in line with the player on the ball is a good idea...

That was fantastic.

Was getting really worried as we wasted good chances/good attacking movements, seen it all before we should go further ahead then concede. But today we put pressure on their players all over the pitch (cleverly as well, not just crazy running after the ball), defended well. Attacked well. Only negative for me is we should have scored at least one more goal, probably two.

Arsenal never really looked like scoring, but our work rate and pressing stopped their game. Fantastic performance and I''m really happy, 15th in the table =D

First win against Arsenal at home since 1984 apparently.  Well done lads. Now all we need is to continue this against Villa.

[quote user="Gingerpele"]Don''t think it''d be too ridiculous to suggest we should be 3-0 up...

We should have turned them into goals.

Thats why i''m saying we should have been 3-0 up. When I said that, it wasn''t about how the chance actually happened, its about the position we were in and what should have happened.

We scored 1, there was no other ''goal'' but we had a couple of very good chances, and a couple of very good moves that very easily could have turned into goals.

That was brilliant.Hard working, well organised, not afraid to get stuck in.  Hoolahan had moments of madness but his work rate was inspirational, Holt cannot be unfit or overweight when he puts in a shift like that, Pilkington and Bennett were fantastic and Michael Turner looked assured and dependable alongside Bassong who made a great last-ditch block to save a goalscoring chance.Well drilled, well organised and well executed.  When you are playing a team that can take off Podolski for Oxlade-Chamberlain, and then replace him with Arshavin, you can see the gulf in finance.  Today our plan was beautifully executed and neutralised the millionaire''s club.

Got a Sunderland fan on Twitter who thinks Holt has no quality...

He scores goals just because he bullies defenders? Ok he does bully defenders, but he''s got a quality finish. Most of the time.
