He’s class. He is putting in a shift and has the class on top of that to make a real difference on top of it. As someone else recently said, I used to think we were too good for him, now I think he’s too good for us.

Excellent game tonight, particularly some of his defending and closing down. Who would have thunk it?

He is showing it all lately, class with the goals and assists but also the hunger and team play, his tracking back and then that sliding block towards the end to stop the cross were great to see. I'll be honest I was against signing him as I thought he had an attitude and was inconsistent, well currently he is proving me wrong on both counts and long may it contain, potentially our signing of the season currently or we could easily be bottom without his contributions.

It's a shame masuaku doesn't get his head up he could have played him in two or three times last night.

Could a good combo if masuaku learns to look up and release the ball quicker.

Arnie is class and maybe seconds quicker in the mind than some around him.

My man of the match again last night. He was everywhere. His work ethic is phenomenal at the moment nd we have the added bonus that he is technically good too. He seems to be really enjoying himself and thriving off the fans love.. I feel sometimes he fights a lost cause just to get a cheer off the fans.. I for one love it. Starting to look like. 25 million pound player (in todays money) fur play Arnie :scarfer:

Long may his purple patch continue! It just shows, you can have all the talent in the world, but when you properly put in the graft, that's when it all comes together.

Would like to see him playing with Lanzini just in behind Hernandez, running, passing and goals written all over it IMO

Cracks me right up that Sully pinned his arrival on Bilic *just* before he started coming good. Gutted, Dave.

I've fast fallen in love with the bloke having not been convinced when we signed him, the ground he covered and effort he put in last night was immense. He seems to have realised what it takes to make West Ham fans love a player.

As you mentioned "I thought he had an attitude and was inconsistent".

Think, Arni has proven now, that he has neither a bad attitude nor he is lazy. As he has played well since the Chelsea game, he is consistent as well.

Believe me guys, you just heard some fairy tales from Stokie, who are pissed off, cause Arni has left them.

....but i must admit: never saw him that good in a row in Premier League before :o

He's a different player to the one who strolled about at the start of the season. His work rate of late has been unbelievable.

Excellent player and a delight to watch. I have forgiven that bizarre start in our colours. I'm sure he will have his anonymous games but if he can keep putting in a majority of performances like he has done recently he will be a firm fans favourite.
