Thats a shame, good work from giroud, he just wanted podolski to take it from him and run through but podolski made a run thinking it weould be played through
Podolski seems to be playing a different game to the rest of the team lol, he is making runs that people arent picking out and in reverse he is moving off when a pass comes in to him - not quit clickign at the moment!
Right, time to go back to the old way of operating, it's worked for quarter of a season so far. "Olivier Giroud is crap"
Giroud is doing well at holding the ball up, he's literally wrestling two defenders at a time. It's just a shame nobody is on the same wave-length as him.
I thought we were a bit unfortunate not to score in that half, we've created some chances, but been a bit lacklustre. Still fancy us for the win though
OK, Ox has been worse than useless. Take him off, Move Sagna to RW, and bring Jenkinson on at RB. At least Sagna looks a threat.
Not great. Ox needs to stop cutting in. It just reducing the space for Cazorla and Wilshere. Needs to stay out wide and get the crosses in like Theo has been doing.
I'd rather see you go through, so i hope you do score, cant have 3 english teams drop out at the group stage.
