Yaya does bring something extra. In fact, looking back, he was immense both ways. Holding the ball and controlling the midfield, felt like 3 seasons back, but he effort he out in to tracking back was something I've rarely seen.

Between Fernando and Yaya for me.

Kdb edges yaya and Sterling for me.

2nd half was the best I've seen Fernando play ever and I am not a fan at all. This is the 1st time I've seen him join the tempo rather than slow it so fair play and well done.
Tracking back is overrated.

KDB. Thought he made a few sloppy passes but by and large he was much more influential and picked out crucial passes weighted beautifully.
Silva and Yaya were good but I though David in particular was getting frustrated with himself at times.
The whole team had a very good second half, which I think is what Pep is trying to get into them. Attack as a team defend as a team and above all else when we lose the ball, hunt them down as a team.

I actually thought KDB was below par today - apart from his fantastic ball to Sterling for our 2nd goal

I wonder if Dave was shit for us like .. ever? I remember him mediocre twice, but rest, above the average. Even injured with a knock he still looked decent.

For such a small guy he really is ace. Strong as, wins tackles and headers and better on the ball than 98% of the league.

Class player is dave.

I was just thinking the exact same thing but for Kolarov. I really don't know what match some of these have been watching mate.

Would have been Silva but for Yaya. Silva found pockets of space and used it well. Yaya made it all look effortlessly easy, winning back possession using it to great effect sometimes simple but always forwards.

Bottom line is we were fantastic and a case could be made for half a dozen of them to be the MoTM.

Brilliant second half performance all round.

I think we should offer Yaya a new deal.

You must have come in late and missed his perfect cross for Raheem just after the Arse scored.

That's the beauty of the team really playing well as they did especially in the 2nd half. Quite a few nominees today including players who rarely get positive recognition, Otter and Fernando. Great also to see Yaya play with discipline and give us some real control in the middle.He wasn't full of serious attacking moves or passes but always available and with such good feet and control he never gave the ball away.

KDB for his defensive work. He was so influential in turning the ball over in important situations.

Very happy for Sane too that he got his first

Yaya looked like he had rolled back the years. Great team effort too.


Voted for Yaya. I thought it was HIm running the game. Reminds me of when we play a lesser team beacuse Arsenal just never marked him. He was always in space to receive the ball, usual excellent holding and passing. If the fool that is Wenger had put someone to man-mark him the second half would have been a lot different
