The ref is letting them foul us as they please. Late challenges and two handed pushes all over the place... We need to be more physical in the second half - we are missing Giroud up top badly, he would have had a couple of goals by now and we would have much better possesion, i also think he would of dealt with the cross for there goal. Maybe chamakh can give us that? He at least would of scored the tap in... Wilshere is looking the most likely to do something but we need more forward movement, more runs in behind there back 4 from our midfield and wide players. Great little run and shot by coq. I'm not sure yet what changes need to be made in the second half player wise, but we need to give much more fight and up the tempo. They will tire in this half and we need to over run them. Oxocube, rosicky and arteta on the bench are all good options to change things up and add some tough tackling, but i cant help but think chamakh may be a decent option up top, we could do with his height at set pieces.
Might as well bring Chamack on and go the aerial route ourselves or put a blindfold on gervinho for the second half cant get any worse.
Szczesny is playing well. It was a good finish for the goal and he can't be blamed for that, he got hands to it but not quick enough to turn it over, if the ball was moving slightly slower he would of saved it. So i think he's unlucky for that. His distribution has been fine, he's come out to gether the ball well a couple of times. He let the ball go wide on there second best chance. Overall good performance from him. Coq had a good run and shot and some other good moments as well, but he is a little in and out of it. not an 8...
I really wish Giroud hadn't been kicked in he back in our last game - this game is made for him, he would be bullying everyone.
He is not. Podolski was trialed as a CF and he never even got into a position to score, if you haven't forgot the first few games of the season.
Way too high. That's an average of 6.4. Losing to a League 2 side without a shot on goal. Dont deserve better than a 4 overall. Playing like this, would be utterly destroyed by a big team in the last 16 of the CL.
We've had atleast two shots - Cazorla and Coquelin hitting the post. But yes, we should be doing a lot better. It's very worrying.
oh and how many times does Wenger need to see Ramsey on the wing and Gerv up front to know it doesn't work? Getting stupid now.
The guy gave Coquelin an 8... nuff said. He barely had 3 touches, and got a shot after the ball luckily deflected from the opponent. --> 8
Chamakh is the poor mans Giroud - but he might do a job. He would of got the tap in and a few headers at least!
There is a lot of **** posted on this thread, but this post sums up my feelings. Coq playing well, prob our motm. Making wilshere looking like a park player. Only one who looks interested. Gerv needs to come off, even if it's for Cham. Commentators are diabolical. Never a foul by Verm and how the commentators say that it is acceptable to stop the ball in the wall with your arm to protect your face is anyway acceptable is just wrong. COME ON ARSENAL.
ROFL, you're the idiot who argued with me about Walcott. So don't give me that. Just because we conceded a goal, doesn't make the performance rubbish. Gervinho and Vermaelen were terrible. That was enough for 1-0. if you think Coq had 3 touches you're ****ing blind.
