Lets see what all the Arsenal fans are saying in February, following their annual festive and new year collapse Wink

Not seen any action but by all accounts you were pretty damn good yesterday? I certainly agree about keeping a lower profile could well assist any title challenge you might have. GIQ and all that. Still not convinced you have the squad personnel to have genuine title aspirations but think you'll be there or thereabouts for most of the season. Certainly rather have you guys in the top 4 than Chelsea/dippers/Salford etc Smiley

Wenger's contract runs out this season yes? Or is there extensions and clauses and whatnot?

Thought Mustafi and Koscielny looked a proper partnership yesterday. A world away from any partnership involving Big Per or Gabriel over the past couple of years. Xhaka looks a player too.

Might give Wenger the benefit of the doubt this time because it is looking like he's plugged few gaps in the squad with Mustafi/Xhaka.

Back 4 was great yesterday with Bellerin abso outstanding imo - long time since Arse could say that about the back 4 even if they've never been quite as bad as they've been painted

Great performance yesterday.

Could have been six or more if we still didn't try and walk the ball in though.

Keep it up chaps, one performance doesn't make us world beaters.

Arsenal currently have the best conversion-rate in the Premier League scoring with 25% of their shots.

I have no doubt. As stated, we should just take more shots then!

Great performance at the weekend - I enjoyed watching it.

Not sure where you have got that stat from tho. According to my links it is 15 goals from 87 attempts = 17.24%. Still very good.

I've sorted the table ranked with % of shots on target converted to goals just so I can get City on top Smiley

That 25% figure came via @orbinho usually very reliable stat-man.

According to my sauces L'Equipe states that Le Coq's knee-injury is far less severe than was feared and he'll be right as ninepence in a couple of weeks.

An interesting read here on Theo's re-invention this season:

Was at the game today and we were very, very good. The Basel keeper had a great game and Ozil fluffed a sitter otherwise it could have been 4 or 5. I was worried about Walcott this season and Wenger's insistence on playing him but it appears to be paying off, he worked hard today and deserved two goals.

There don't seem to be any obvious weaknesses in the team at present imo. Strength in depth on the bench too. We're probably still a world class player or two away from winning the league, but definitely i'm far less frustrated with Arsene and Arsenal compared to a few months ago.
