Arsenal pummel Napoli with passing master class

‘Who are you?’ Three words fans chanted at a slightly stunned looking Napoli side as they went two-nil down in less than 20 minutes. It was a fairly apt question, because Benitez’s team were made to look fairly ordinary. 
Apparently Arsenal lack a top quality striker.  Yet the ball keeps on finding the back of the net with Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil sharing two devastating goals during Tuesday’s performance. 
At the heart of everything was the offensive axis of Ozil, Rosicky and Ramsey backed up by a hardworking and conscientious DM duo of Matthieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta. The latter got stamped on for his troubles in the second half.

Revved-up Ramsey in seventh heaven as Gunners out-stoke Stoke

All-in-all it this was a solid performance from Arsenal, who appeared relaxed and alert to most potential goal threats and authoritative in attack. The one touch passing was a joy to watch, particularly the interchanges between Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere and Gnabry.
It was reassuring to observe Wilshere in good form with his unselfish play, clever passing and deceptive movement with the ball.

Signed Da Ting shoots his load prematurely

On at least three occasions Signed Da Ting was provided with silver service delivery from Giroud and Gunner Galatico Ozil. The German national put in a quality shift, whilst looking like he was waiting for some pre-match Pepto Bismol to take effect. That must have been a hard core sickness bug going round Colney, because Ozil looked like he was about to spew like Liam from One Direction. Nausea aside Ozil’s delivery was very precise, but the end product from Theo not so much. Like an excited, sweaty- palmed, boy teen about to wave goodbye to his virginity, Theo shot his load too quickly.
