Home comforts...

Great win today, and some great individual performances. Our home form is only second to Manchester City (in terms of points - United have a better GD with same points). Consecutive PL games where we have raced into a 4 goal lead at the Emirates as well.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan was my man of the match. 3 assists and heavily involved in most of our good work. Looked sharp and got across the pitch to great effect. Linked everything very well.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got a debut goal, and it was a great finish (should have been ruled out for offside but it stood). Showed his pace to create himself a good chance, and also showed a great touch in the move for the opener. Second half he became a bit anonymous as the team became casual - but a good debut.

Aaron Ramsey was the hat-trick hero, showcasing his skill for getting in the box at the right time and also reminding us of his long range shooting. The official man of the match as awarded by Robbie Savage.

Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi both put in good games, making the front 5 fluent and effective.

Obviously there were some defensive wobbles - a mix of complacency and just bad defending. But things like Mustafi's block to stop Walcott scoring shouldn't be forgotten.

A couple of injuries put a bit of a cloud over it. Nacho Monreal got a knock and went off at half time. Doesn't sound too worrying. Cech was also hurt, a collision with Niasse meant he had to go off just after conceding the goal. Again, doesn't look like it will be long term.


Now Mr Wenger will have to work hard on transforming our home form to away games. Although our next away game will be at our second home - Wembley is red!!

Tottenham play both Liverpool and us next. There's every possibility of us managing to reel at least one of them in if we carry a bit of momentum forward over the next few games.

We'll need a lot of luck beating Spurs, considering how poor our away form is against big teams, this season however it's been poor against everyone! Spurs were very good against Man U.
