Patricks and Paulo! We dominated the game and had the goals to go with it meaning we've now won 5 in a row. Dybala looks like he's beginning to settle in. Depay played on the wing but again I didn't get much from him, I'm playing him upfront in the Champions League against Olympliakos but something has to change if he doesn't perform. ​

We needed a win today. Olympiakos at home was possibly the easiest game of the group.

We completely smashed them. As we were 7-0 up in the 80th minute I got really cocky, I brought on Mignolet to replace Depay and he actually got on the scoresheet! The whole team ran over to him. I realise it's a bit disrespectful of the opposition, but what a great moment.

September Review
​
View attachment 240244

It's been very strange month. When we've won they have been amazing performances and good games to watch in general. I was annoyed Blackburn beat us to be honest, but now we focus on other competitions. The manner we lost to PSG was also frustrating.

We're now fourth in the league and only one point behind the leaders, Arsenal. I'm not planning a title challenge this year but it's always nice to be amongst the names at the top. It's nice to have a solid position so early as we have a hard month next.

Norwich away is no easy game. They've had a solid start to the season. I will be hoping to beat Swansea at home when Brendan Rodgers visits. We have a huge game against Porto in the Champions League followed by 2 of the 3 best teams in the country. It's going to be tough.​
 
8-0 that 's even worse than our 7-0 defeat from juventus in the champions league !! Great result my firend even though it was against my favorite team !

Very pleased with this award. It's been a while since I've earned manager of the month and it shows how much we are progressing as a team.

Completely deserved. Roberts has been in sensational form since I've arrived at this club but this season he's proving he's one of the worlds best. He's scored 8 in 8 this season and has managed 3 assists too.

We finish off with all the awards. Jaime has been sensational at the heart of defence and is exactly what we have needed. Even though he's only 21 he commands the defence. We've been much better at the back since he's arrived.​

The game was just as tough as I expected it to be. To be fair to Norwich they really made us work for the result. Jonny Howson put them in front early on and they had many chances to double the lead. Patrick Roberts hit a screamer after a lovely solo run that will probably end up a contestant for goal of the season. He then scored another worldie from 25 yards out to win us the game. 10 goals this season already and we're only starting October!​

Andy Carroll was available on a free and I'm looking to send Markovic out on loan to get more first team football. As back up I thought I would bring the big lad upfront. He's not much use to us, but I could see Newcastle are struggling in League 2 and were in talks with him. Kick them when they're down. Carroll will take the role of 3rd striker behind Depay and Dybala. Roberts and Balde Keite can also play there so no one is relying on Carroll.​

We travelled to Portugal to play Porto. With three points from two games we would be looking to get at least a draw.

It wasn't to be. We were single handily ripped apart from Flavio as he torn our defence apart. Which doesn't put us in a good position in the group.​

That win send Porto top of the group and PSG second. We still have to play PSG and Porto away and I know how much home form can play a part in Europe so I'm hoping we can pull off a miracle and beat them both. We will also need a good performance in Greece and hope for another 3 points. If we lose the next game we are all but out. ​

This is the best I've seen us play. We managed to control the game against the top of the league. Laursen bagged two from defence and Depay was on fire today. Getting his 7th of the season, he's finding his feet now. It was no surprise that roberts was one of the goalscorers too. that's made up for the dissapointing result against Swansea.​
 
Player of the match - Szcezesny!

If he got POTM for conceding 5 how bad were the rest of the Arsenal team!?
