  • Paulista's numbers in this game are good: Of all Arsenal players he made the highest number of blocks and clearances, won the highest number of aerial duels, and ranked second highest in number of interceptions. He was dispossessed only one time and that once was in the opposition's half. He made altogether 54 passes, of which only 12 were backward passes, many were long-ish passes, and only 1 was a failed pass. Those numbers are from whoscored.com above, except that the breakdown on his passes is from squaka.com. In the 17th minute he made the pass to Wilshire that Wilshire scored from. In the 57th minute he lost a corner-kick aireal duel in the box that enabled West Brom to score.

  • walcott beast

  • Theo Theo Theo

  • Great performance by arsenal makes Liverpools performance look even worse.

  • WALCOTT

  • Arsenal with a monsterstart. Let's hope they keep this play up.

  • Without Coquelin, Arsenal is shaky. Give him a start for God's sake.

  • I wonder how Tony Pulis will set up West Brom. 4-3-3 is optimistic. Answers on the back of a postcard please.

  • @What4- 9-1-0. It's the only other successful formation in world football other than 4-2-3-1. :-p

  • @SteveHyland Maybe someone should invent those sarcasm fonts.

  • Good on ya your 0-15 and 15-nillers! WTF?!?

  • @jasonpatrickpritchard Look at the Man of the match poll: 1.Vassiriki Abou Diaby 50% 2.Boaz Myhill 25% 3.Lukas Podolski 25% Trolls. ;)

  • @Overmars wow you talking about trolls.... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

  • @Overmars- Trolls indeed. There should be mandatory English and IQ tests before being allowed on this site. There would only be 30 members, but at least they wont be moronic. Having said that, I expect us to pepper the WBA goal so Myhill as MotM isn't that bad of a shout. Ha

  • I don't want to watch another clumsy draw.

  • @HellKitchen you probably don't have to...

  • I really hope Walcott doesn't leave his new found form next season. Arsenal player should target negligible injuries and fast recoveries.

  • Oh and Ramsey MotM.

  • Going with 1-0 Arsenal. West Brom will probably play like they did against Utd. Hopefully we score early to open the game up but I actually expect bus-parking from second one. We only need a draw so that wont be a terrible game plan, I just hope we don't get typical Pulis fluke in the guise of a set-piece headed West Brom goal.

  • 1-0 to the Arsenal. WBA will park the same bus they parked at Old Trafford. Just hope we don't get caught on the counter-attack.

  • This was typical from Walcott. He plays average for 90% of his contract then when the new one is due and it's in his favour to play well and behave like a striker (ie finish chances), he does. It happened before his contract signing last time. He'll probably sign a new deal, be played up front in his "preferred" position and go on to have a lean spell of give or take 4 seasons.
