The Arsenal captain has shone in both of the last two seasons but hasn't hit his own high standards this term and admits he's been "nowhere near" his best
Eindhoven has been packed with carnival-goers in recent days but on Tuesday it was Arsenal enjoying their own party in the city, getting over their goalscoring crisis and setting a Champions League record in the process.
"That is a statement win for Arsenal. All the talk before was about PSV and how dangerous they are, they took out Juventus. But, after that, no one will want to face Arsenal. "In the Champions League, the games are that bit slower and they are well equipped to play with such pace and energy. They were ruthless."

There is no guarantee the ‘flow’ that tore PSV to pieces will be there against Manchester United tomorrow, but that should be what Arsenal look to carry through the rest of their season.
