 Amir, well played. After the disappointment and criticism of last week, how much did you need that? A big win over the Champions League finalists? Yeah, definitely. I thought it was an important result for us. You know, we had to dig deep, you know, it was a really tough test for us tonight, but I think it's really important for our season. So obviously the goal was a mistake, but did you force it a little bit with the pressing? Yeah, we worked on that in training this week, pressing high press, so I feel like we've done well to make them make a mistake and then obviously Alba set me up, which is obviously good. The result is, I think the best way for us to do this is, probably, your skills and your work for the team. No mistake, it's not the best thing to do and even though we've got to be more consistent in our efforts, and we've got to be strong for the team. I think the best thing up today, is we've got to be consistent and we've got to be great in our work for the team. What do you think of the team? I feel like we've done well to make them make a mistake and then obviously Alba set me up which is obviously good. I just wonder if it was a nerve a few seconds for you as the ball bobbled towards the post because you maybe didn't catch it the sweetest. Yeah definitely but this happens sometimes you know I'm just happy that I went in but yeah like you said it was a lucky finish. So your second Premier League goal on the back of the one of the weekend what does it mean? I mean so much you know to score for this fantastic club I just want to keep pushing on now and yeah. I've got a little memory of doing an interview with you where you said that Chelsea might have rejected you as a kid. Does that make it a bit sweeter? Is that right? Have I got that right? Yeah you got that right but obviously you know that's the past I'm obviously focused on Arsenal now and I've lost all my clubs so yeah. How much of the thigh is burning after that second half effort? I'm so tired but I feel like the team we played well today you know we looked tired at times but we had to dig deep and yeah we're happy with the three points today. What do you think you showed as a group by digging deep by the effort you put in? You know I think it showed our character how much fight we got in us. Maybe answer one or two questions? Yeah definitely at times you know I feel like we defended really well in patches and stuff and I feel like after the tough season I thought that was a good performance from us today. What do you think the future is for a meal? Do you think with this young group of players you have yourself, Bacchio, others with this manager? Yeah. Do you feel like you're not so far away from the top table of big footballs it might look? Yeah definitely I feel like we're working really hard in training and I feel like we showed this season how good we can be and yeah like you said we're just going to keep pushing forward and I feel like with this team we can do big things. A little nutmeg on Tiago Silva as well doesn't it? I can't remember to be fair but if it was I'll take it but yeah I'm really happy with the result today. Well done. Thank you. It's been a good couple of days for Emil Smith-Rowe, he scored against West Brom, his first Premier League goal two in two now and I suppose almost similarly to the West Brom win it's the future shining lights that have come away with the headlines. Yeah. Emil Smith-Rowe there and see Saka getting taken off, it's disappointing to see him go but yeah I think that we can't underestimate the levels that those young players have got to get asked to, wherever asked to are it's just down to the Saka's and Emil Smith-Rowe because it's coincidental that once he got in the side alongside Saka who was carrying the team for such a long time on his own things started to happen a bit more creativity in that area. Erdogan comes in trying to get the ball into that area to then get over going and he's been a major part in Arsenal getting anything out of this season that's positive. Yeah but the way Arsenal dug in deserves some credit does it not Glenn? I think they do yeah I mean they did dig out Chelsea didn't open them up didn't stretch them enough but that back five stayed intact particularly second half and it was clear that's what they were going to do they were going to get behind the ball. I mean Smith-Rowe there was saying I feel so tired he probably doesn't you know he's never felt so tired and not add the ball you know normally you're tired when you want to be tired from keeping the ball but they actually defended that the midfield were very on the toes of the back three. There was no spaces hardly at all for Chelsea to penetrate Chelsea it was really all the questions weren't answered by Chelsea they were the team that had to open Arsenal up you know they got a fortunate goal they got a goal gifted to them and they sat in there and said right well they didn't do is they didn't break at all they didn't have a hold up play and get out and that's a concern longer term you're not going to win games playing like that over a period of time but on a one-off situation they've got the three points dogged at the back tight they'll take it. You talk about as a fortuitous goal but as Smith-Rowe mentioned there it was something they'd worked on in the week just putting pressure on and who knows what might come of it. Well yeah well the thing is like we see there I think that Kirk Zume is somebody that should be put pressure on it especially playing on the left-hand side of the defence he's not comfortable you can see him there he looks very nervous and that's what they did that's what Arsenal did they've done that well during the season chosen the opportunities to press teams and that's what I'd like to see more of to be honest and attack teams but I think that the plan was always to try and press Chelsea because I don't think we were ever going to play through them. This is interesting because many will look at your genio maybe the primary fault for this for this goal or the gaff I should say but it's Zume's part in all of this that you think you see. Yeah we saw it early on he's actually saying I need options he's got options he had options a couple of opportunities in this move and I think that the pressure they put on him to make him have to play back to to Georgina who then was rushed by Emma Smith-Rose or his opportunity and then Arsenal got the goal but like I always thought that it was a weakness Kurt Zume. We could be very easily saying if that ball goes into Gilmore which it should have done off his left foot Zume we're saying look how they've played through the press and Chelsea would have been right at Arsenal and the difference is that poor decision from Zume to go back to Georgina and Georgina's panic and back pass with a keeper outside then all this happens but we could be analysing it the other way Chelsea might have gone and scored from there by beating the press. Yes. But you know you've got to give credit to Arsenal they were prepared to throw four players up there and press hard. There wasn't much room for error for Smith-Rose was there. No and like I say he really flashed his leg I was delighted for it to go in for him because you can imagine if he misses that it's almost like an open goal but he got the lucky deserved. Now that is hugely surprising if you have a look at errors leading to goals. Eight from Chelsea behind Liverpool's nine and seven of those though did come under Frank Lampard so they clearly have or six of them have come from Frank Lampard but you know they clearly have tightened up in that respect but it's reared its head and the same set of players have overseen that. Well they all over the pitch you know it wasn't just a defensive sign and giving a gift of a goal away but even with the ball and their movement off the ball that wasn't the Chelsea that we've seen this season. Why was it? Well they've got two cup finals it's human nature they've got two cup finals to play in you know is their mind somewhere else they have got a little bit of a gap there between West Ham at the moment or whoever's fifth and sixth so it's human nature they've just come down. For big result against City as well that was a good result. I think it is a little bit you know coming down and they had to pick themselves up they looked like a team that thought that eleven was going to start at Wembley on Saturday and they were playing within themselves but no that team was about getting the team getting the team for Wembley show me what you got the manager saying and they didn't look like that they looked like a team that was saying well we've got other things on our mind and if you do that you come a cropper in this league. We saw Chelsea come so close in the dying stages they hit the woodwork twice of course. On another day if you have a look at this first one they were literally a fingertip away from equalising. I think the goalkeeper the gaffer pointed it out I didn't actually see I thought it was a good save at first but he was very lucky with this you look at when it comes from here where his hand is and where he gets the fingertips he's very fortunate there and then I think it's just a little bit too high I think he's done brilliantly to get it back on target but I think Arsenal you know the way they defended today so resolutely I think they deserve that little bit of luck but I think if I'm Chelsea I probably think we could have done more. They should have done more they should have taken more chances passing balls into forwards and trying to pass balls into space they didn't do it. You can almost see what that body language is isn't it it's just not going to be our day. He was as frustrated as the players were to be honest out there but he'd be the first to know that was nowhere near the standard that they'd set. They've set this season and they've come down from it. What I think they needed they needed you know that's the one thing maybe I said before the game they've got every sort of aspect component maybe they need to play poorly and get a point or win and they haven't done that because they keep going one nil up. A lot of the times Chelsea they need to hit a team on the break that's when they're very best in Europe and when they go one nil up that suits them they're a very exciting team on the break. They can defend like Arsenal did second half they can defend like that with five men across the back tight but today there was only a couple occasions where there was some space second half particularly behind Arsenal's defence and they actually did get in behind. That's when Adoy got across and pull it that's the only chance they had second half apart from what we just saw. So they've got work to do still when a team when they've got a chase again. And while it wasn't pretty overall from Arsenal there's no doubt Michael Arteta will want to accentuate the positives as a way that they kept that clean sheet in the end. Yeah because it takes a lot to to stay that disciplined you know because like I said Chelsea are a quality side look you've got everybody back OK. Obamian's up there but then you watch Obamian even he goes and gets involved to make sure that they you know I mean that they they kind of put them under pressure and keep them at bay. You know you see Chelsea trying trying to come and then they go wide again but like look at Arsenal's look at Arsenal's defensive lines look at them again. That's very difficult and then you have to have people who are willing to pass the ball through those little areas to then hold it. Can he hold it there. Can he get something can reach James now. Can he get that in. Then it comes that's going to do it. Bam over the bar. So Arsenal have done well to come and then they go wide again but like look at Arsenal's look at Arsenal's defensive lines. Look at them again. That's very difficult and then you have to have people who are willing to pass the ball through those little areas to then hold it. Can he hold it there. Can he get something can reach James now. Can he get that in. Then it comes that's going to do it. Bam over the bar. So Arsenal have done well doing that. I think not only is it like we're showing the bodies behind the ball but if you look wherever the ball has been passed as a first man getting the head down. There was there again. Look getting the head down. They're pressing the ball there. One comes out there a little bit of pressure. Another bit of pressure and then they win the ball so you can get bodies behind the ball but not work very hard behind the but they press the ball. The first man always was pressing the ball. And that's quite telling. Although look at Tierney. I mean literally he's up there almost in the attacking third with the Bamias. Yeah but that's what Tierney does. His natural game is to try and get forward even though he's a defender but you look where Sacher is. He's also he's games to get forward. Look where he's had to end up. What do you think about the Mika Arter's game plan in terms of looking to contain Chelsea rather than trying to look for that second goal. Well I think the way Arsenal play with the players we had on the pitch. Sacher, Erdogan, Bamiang, Smith Rowe. That doesn't sound to me like a team that you're putting out to be defensive. In the end you see Sacher and Bamiang get taken off. It looks to me like it's a team where you've got Pate and you've got El Neni to get the ball into Erdogan so we could cause Chelsea problems. In the end I think the way the game transpired it kind of Chelsea put the pressure on and then they started to they reverted back to it. I think you could see how disappointed he was. He was actually wasn't sure that he was surprised that he was his number that came up actually. I think even you look at your Bamiang looked when because as a striker Gaffa you look at Bamiang seeing Sacher going off. Where's my service going? And then you see then he gets taken off. So what's happened in this game for me is that he wants to get the free points and now he's turned it into a game where I'm going to hold what I've got now. And I think that's the right thing to do. Once I saw Lacazette coming on I thought well it's a Bamiang going off. 78 minute I think it was he making that change. Why would he not start with them? He certainly wasn't going to finish with them one nil out with both of them on the pitch. So he's disappointed but I think in his heart he's got to know it's the right tactical thing. If Lacazette's the man you're bringing on he might have chosen to bring somebody else on of course. But no he shows his disgruntlement there and but every player hates coming off. The thing with me I think at this stage of the season the way the season's gone for Arsenal. I think that the fans they need to see something now that's going to give them some form of positivity for hope. Yeah a bit of hope. Like for instance there's a couple of young players, Miguel Aziz, Balagan. I think they need to start bringing those guys in for these lads. I would like to see them because those are the kind of things that fans see that say okay well that's a little bit of something to give the fans something. It's not giving them anything. But Glen if you'll make another test it's not a great look is it? Having a couple of players kind of almost question the substitutions in a way. One of them including your captain. No I wouldn't be too bothered about that. I'd be absolutely distraught as a manager if I've got a smiling player coming off a pitch. True. That would concern me. I'd say he doesn't care enough. He's happy to come off. You want that. They'll be right. They've got the points in the dressing room. They'll be as good as gold. The music will be on. They'll be on the bus going home or whatever. They'll be happy little bunnies now. But at that moment when you come off you want to play. You've got your pride. You want to go on and you want to help your teammates. But no I thought it was tactical. I thought it was the right thing to do. From the manager's point of view you've got it spot on. And I think if that was 0-0 at half time Arsenal wouldn't have played like that. But they had something to hold on to. And every Arsenal fan out there now has got to say okay can't keep playing like that. We won't win too many games playing like that. But with beating Chelsea at Stanford Bridge we haven't done it for ten years. Man City couldn't have beat Chelsea recently. They're in the Champions League. That is a fantastic result. Take away the performance as a gamer football. They've got the three points. They didn't have seen in the last minute. They didn't lose 2-1. Then you've got a problem playing like that. Long term they can't play like that without a doubt. But they've beaten Chelsea who are flying at the moment. Sit back and go hallelujah. That's a great three points.
