Just as I thought, scapegoating one player because we're not winning and Ramsey isn't on the pitch. That's just Lazy Kyle
No, it's just Diaby has been a weak link. And i'm trying to be optimistic, that why i'm giving Gerv the benefit of the doubt.
I've criticised Diaby for a long time, but today we are dominating the midfield. Diaby is playing well, but I think it's because he's a different kind of player to Cazorla/Arteta. Diaby is strong and runs with it, the Spanish players are smaller ans pass more. He gives us something different.
giving gerv the benefit of the doubt, but saying diaby needs to be subbed? i would be the other way round myself.
One thing i have to mention, how much better we look defensively. Maybe Bouldy is weaving him magic already.
I honestly thought Stoke would offer more of a threat than this. They've been non-existent attack wise.
Defensively we look better. Mertesacker has actually been good. (told you we would stick with him) Gervinho's end product is like Theo Walcotts 4 years ago.
Theo wouldn't have any effect in this game. He's suited to defences that play a high line, Stoke are basically playing 8 deep defenders, Theo wouldn't be able to get in behind.
looked a dive by pennant, but a warning that stoke are getting stronger. we need a goal and quickly, then settle the game down for a bit.
