Walcott's only contribution wasn't the goal though. He made more runs, set-up RVP/Arteta for good chances, took a good shot or two at goal and beat his marker regularly. He also didn't stop running for the whole match.

Take a look at that goal again though...that right there shows that Walcott's "no footballing brain" is a myth. The finish was actually pretty cheeky and smart finish from him...sure, it was saved, but you cannot do anything other than applaud the effort. Chamberlain lost the ball countless of times in the second half through some stray passes, and he was just alright today but some people are acting as if his performance was great even though it wasn't. Walcott deserves the credit today, because he did everything right in the second half.

wasnt too conviced....glad we won though

Didn't pay attention live but anyone knows if Wenger went silent whole match as protest against fans who wanted him out ? the fans cheering 2nd half is also reaction toward his stand ? Pat Rice on the other hand, was a lot more involved. I rewatched and noticed Wenger didn't react at all, even after all the goals, like when Theo celebrated in front of fans, he just stood there.

Necessary victory but still up hill battle from here, next round would be better match up against Boro, I hate Sunderland at Light. FA cup is one thing but we haven't won in the league for so long, here hoping for victory next round.

yeah.. He was good today.. But he showed his inexperience at times.. And i am really angry with what happened last week.. How on earth people and the media question one of the worlds best and successful coaches for substituting a debutant 18 yr old at 70 mins..? This is too much..

Fabianski 6 didnt impart much confidence at back

Coquelin 6 really hard working.. Average game..
Mertesacker 6 a better game..
Koscielny 6 was not at his best..
Vermaelen 7 what powerful shots.. Can play anywhere.. What a player.. And happy to see his name on the stands.. The Verminator..

Song 6 average performance..
Ramsey 6.5 good at times.. needs to improve..
Rosicky 7.5 great match.. Man of the match for me.. If he can play like this he should be starting with Song and Arteta..

Walcott 6.5 good match.. Lucky to score.. But his attitude and some things never improve..
Van Persie 6 showed his coolness with 2 penalties..
Chamberlain 6.5 good performance.. But not great..

Sagna 10.. Welcome back..
Arteta 10.. Welcome back..
Henry 10.. Always..

L. Fabiasnki - 6. It's been so long that I've forgotten how to spell his first name... He didn't have much to do and wasn't at fault for anything.

Just wanted to say it's Lukasz . And you managed to spell his last name wrong as well .

lol how'd you change your name to rewb? Walcott played his ass off, better than Chambo yesterday imo. Both were great.

Walcott had a great game and I really enjoyed his play but he could have done better, he still missing those tricks that can turn him in to WCP. The thing about Walcott is he is easy to predict what he is going to do, Ox is unpredictable and the runs he did were really good.

I think yesterday Ox and Walcott were even, I give an edge to Walcott for he lucky goal and his celebration.

If walcott plays like this more I am sure he will be much better that Ox, I really hope the goal gave him some confidence that he can be the player we all want him to be.

Who needs Cesc when we have Song.

whattt ! Cesc ? never heard 4him....where does he come from,@which club does he play for !

On topic ....what a game ...LOL

1) Chamberlain over-dribbled and played a pass to nobody at least twice when he was on the pitch in the second half

2) Chamberlain's performance yesterday was not on par with Walcott's . How many chances did he create? None that I can remember.

We tend to over hype our players so much!

Just look how Chelsea is preserving McEachran.

next thing you know we sign Eisfeld and he becomes a trending topic on Twitter and has a fanpage *sigh*
