Same old Arsenal

Arsenal 1-3 Monaco

Arsenal once again gave themselves a mountain to climb to qualify for the quarter finals of the Champions League, after yet another disastrous first leg.

In seasons gone by the Gunners have been undone at this stage of the competition by phenomenal performances from the best teams in the World, as the likes of Barcelona and Bayern Munich lit up the Emirates Stadium with displays that would eventually see them win the tournament. On Wednesday night, Arsene Wenger’s side were well and truly beaten by Monaco, a side whose name did not strike fear into anyone with affiliations to the Gunners when the draw was made.

Five Star Gunners

Arsenal 5-0 Aston Villa

Arsenal got themselves ready for Saturday’s North London derby in perfect fashion with a fine display against Aston Villa, recording their biggest result of the season so far as they defeated Paul Lambert’s side 5-0.

Much has been made of the form of Alexis Sanchez since he joined the Gunners, with many pundits suggesting the great Chilean has been carrying the side, leading both the scoring and assist charts at the club. When Wenger announced at the pre match press conference that Sanchez would not be available for this game due to a hamstring injury, alarm bells began to ring for all Arsenal supporters. How would the Gunners cope without their talisman?
