Thank fook for that! Was wondering if we were ever going to score for a while . Thought Sanchez was quality as per always. Great to see Theo back he looked blimmin good for the 10mins he was on

Did anyone else have real trouble viewing the game???

Had massive freezing about every 5 minutes for about a minute each time, so frustrating.

Tried on Firefox as usual, then tried Chrome (was worse), I had the hardware acceleration turned off as usual.

Even paused and played and fast forwarded and rewound but it got stuck in the same spots, so missed both goals and could only see what happened when the replay of the action was being shown, it was weird.

I checked speedtest a couple times and my fibre connection was getting 27mb

Any advice would be appreciated

PLP posted on their FB saying that people all around the place had problems. I don't think I saw one goal in real time, caught half of the delays. Super frustrating.

RE the game was unsurprised we were struggling to score with a midfield of Arteta & Flamini, they're not the creators we need. That said I understand the tactical reasons of trying to protect a vulnerable back 4. Good to see Gibbs play 90 and his hip thing wasn't a big deal.

Podolski was unlucky off the bench, could have had a pair of beauties. Ramsey looked average and uninspiring.

Good win but yes terrible experience with PLP. Froze every 2 minutes for me and the only way to continue it was to press the 10 second fast forward then in the second half as well as freezing it started skipping a minute so all three goals were missed. Also tried all browsers with no difference. Was about to do a complaint but they have posted on Facebook that it was problems with the broadcast of that and two other games and they are getting them re-fed. Glad it wasn't just my system!

Man of match probabl y the Burnley GK. Top game from him.

Alexis is great, also enjoying Gibbs and Chambers contribution. Both very good players.

Welcome back Theo.

Keep the clean sheets going too.

With Monreal at CB I'm ok with this Flamteta axis the boss has going. We certainly seem pretty solid at the back, and despite always looking light on numbers when we get forward we have Sanchez to single-handedly nab us a goal or two. 

Perhaps we roll with this for a while until we get defensive numbers back on deck.

Replay had the same errors, must have been an encoding problem with original feed.

He's ok LOL Love everything he does :). Hopefully Ozil is watching the effort Alexis is putting in. Really hoping Ramsey starts finding some form again

All of the offseason buys have been excellent so far this season. Who would have ever picked Callum Richards to have racked up some many games for us already.

Chambers* but yeah, looks a great buy. Good to see us taking the risk and spending the money the summer before he's worth 30 million instead of waiting until next summer and missing out to City or Chelsea.

Feels like a scratched record but what a player Alexis is. Absolutely carrying the team on his back at the moment and it's scary to think where we might have been without him. Reminds me a bit of Henry in 05-06.

haha yes Chambers, i blame it on Monday. All things considered we are going ok without really playing great. If we can hang in there untill Ozil and Giroud return.

The effot Sanchez puts in is incredible. I think he might grow frustrated with the team not working as hard as he does, or Wenger will stop him from pressing so much. I don't think he will stop though. That guy could chase the ball all day and then have enough steam to sprint. Excited to have him and Theo playing together for more than 10 minutes.

Love how he runs himself into the ground every game and never seems to stop going. Since we rely on him so much and can never afford to have him off the pitch this unfortunately probably means he'll be burnt out and injured by Jan/Feb.

I know it was only Burnley - but that was the best individual performance I have seen from an Arsenal player in some time. He was about 5 steps above every other player on the pitch.

I think Flamini is dragging us down a bit though - he has periods where he seriously looks like he has never played football in his life. He's really not good.

I don't think Flamini is as bad as you're making out. He's there to play DMF, he needs to break up play, cover the defenders when out of position, and distribute the ball to players in front of him. He does this better than Arteta in my opinion. In the Arteini DMF axis id like to see Arteta pushing on just a tad and having a pop at goal because that man can hit them

Flamini miles ahead of Arteta in the holding role.

Team needs more Coq

Agree on Flamini being better suited to our needs than Arteta.

Love his positioning, often see him drop so deep he becomes a left or right back when we are on attack, and when under the pump in middle he's the last one on the line with Scezsney.

So it looks like a virus is going through the camp, it's why Ramsey didn't start on the weekend and it's kept Jack out of mid week duties. Wilshere's gotta be pissed, misses a game due to suspension, then takes a knock on training, then gets a virus. Just as he was getting form. Hopefully Ramsey is up to starting on Wednesday, I'd like to see Se more energy & drive from deep

Live on ESPN2 tomorrow, but the time difference now means it's an 8.45am kick off for us. Will have to record and avoid the result until after work.

Embarrassing. Will probably get papered over because we will still qualify comfortably.

Three for me, and two for them.

'Flamini better than Arteta at DM'

Next minute, Arteta gets injured at 3-0 down, it goes to 3-1, he gets subbed for and we draw 3-3.

Whatever you say guys. Arteta would be a better footballer on one leg than Flamini.

Lets be honest; neither are that great but Flamini shouldn't even be in the squad. Lets not even mention how he left us in the first place..
