Finally, it seems like Arsene has found his footballing style back, the Invincible's style.

| Has Wenger looked back at his prime time? |
The Gunners were sharp, quick and penetrative.
It surely reminded me of the Invincible. In which Wenger's style is to be incisive and penetrating.
Back to the 2004-2005, when Arsenal was at its best, the team only needed an interception, then maybe 2 passes, shot, goal!
The team best move was always, Coles to Pires to Henry : goal!
Viera to Henry : goal!
It was a joy to watch, and Arsenal could make a difference in 4 seconds.
West Ham's 12 minutes at the start of the second half was similar, 4 goals in 12, 1 in 3 minutes as the Gunners fans relived a short moment of the Invincible time.
Arsenal found themselves from a slow possesion game in first half to an explosive counter attacking game in the second, making the 15 minutes half time team talk seems like a 4 year-long worth of a speech by Arsene!
Similar stuffs were happening against Brighton as the first goal saw only 3 passes are needed and a Giroud's fine finish which is worthy of winning any competition.
It cleared away the poor memory of our recent years in which we have seen our game as a slow, penetrative possesion game and lack of end products. We found ourselves adapting to a low quality Barcelona's type of game with the little 1-2s and then a final pass which lead up to the goal. But we were lacking of the end product that Barcelona can produce with Messi. We were inconsistent and inflexible.
Will Wenger continue his best style against Liverpool on Wednesday? We will have to see, normally he likes to do the opposite of what fans expected him to do.
