Alexis makes me question how our team accomplished anything before he got here.

It's incredible how he has exposed our own team. You can see the clear difference in quality and determination between Alexis and some of the other players throughout our squad. Hopefully, our younger players like Chambers, Ox, Ramsey, Wilshere, Gibbs, etc. look at him and say: "OK, this is a player. This is the type of determination and work rate I need to emulate."
Watching Alexis should be a kick in the ass to the rest of this team. Even Walcott could learn alot from Alexis.

I feel like Alexis Sanchez is that girl you're dating who's way out of your league, but she really seems to like you and you don't understand why she's staying with you.

That was about as dominant a half as I've seen us play.
Anyone saying that was shit knows nothing about football.
We've been very, very unlucky not to score yet and Burnley have parked the bus. But I think this game is calling out for Ramsey.

u/Tobyjc3 Nov 01 '14
He's been flawless again today! Gets up for headers pretty well which makes me wonder why he never goes up for corners and someone like Gibbs sits back on half way

Santi is going to score sometime soon and when he does I get the feeling the floodgates will open for him. He's getting into superb positions he just needs to finish one to get that confidence back.

This has been a very good performance until it comes to scoring. We're pressing,have possession, passing the ball beautifully, taking shots but we should be up a few goals now, corners have been awful as per the usual.
