You missed Mertesacker today
Perhaps a little, but the way United played us, we should have missed him more.
You missed Mertesacker today
TV I thought did good today, the corner we conceded was mainly the fault of Ramsey-Giroud for allowing RVP to win it.
What was missed were wingers, but then again, even if we had wingers, it wouldn't matter with some of the rubbish we were playing out there. Overall defenders did their jobs today, but the attacking part of our team went missing.
Sagna was out best attacker by the end of the match - Bendtner?? Giroud poor display today.....
We knock Sagna for his **** crossing, he gave around 2-3 world class crosses today that someone should have met, especially someone like Giroud, so nobody can really say Giroud wasn't provided much. RVP was provided one quality cross and he scored it, that's top quality for you.
But remember, RVP isn't good enough for Arsenal according to one poster on here (TOLEDO). This poster also tried to argue that Giroud is better than RVP.

You really should try a little humility and realize that you know far less about the game than you think you do.
The thing about you Arsenal87 is that you are so certain that what you read from a game is correct. The trouble you have is that you give far too much importance to individual incidents and too little from what having Giroud in the team allows us to do.
Giroud didn't have a bad game, and those world-class crosses were fantastic except that they were not to anyone. Might as well blame Szczeney for not heading them in, he wasn't there either.
Giroud is a very easy target, just like Ramsey was. You simply pick a player who you think made some mistake or lost the ball too often, and you never see the times he was wide open and never got the ball, or the times he had the ball and no one moved into space to get it.

Nice.

Not even saying Giroud was particularly worse than the rest that whole game, but are you ****ing joking with that sentence? Please tell me you are?
So meeting the cross has nothing to do with the anticipation of the striker?
Just when I think you've reached the apex, you outdo yourself.
Meh, Giroud isn't better than RVP and I imagine Toledo finds himself quite often (by which I mean 99.8% of the time) alone when trying to argue otherwise. Problem is, Giroud alone wasn't brought to replace RVP, Podolski was too and that fecker has been out for ages. I'm sure the missus could hear my heart implode when we were reduced to bringing Bendtner on to replace an inneffective OG! Even when Podolski is back I still think we desperately need to bring in a new forward in Jan and I doubt many here will argue that.
Oh, and whilst not blaming TV for the goal I think had Mertesacker been playing then he'd have been the one picking up RVP rather than Ramsey/Giroud. One of our saving graces recently has been the unchanged back 4 and the stability that brings. Mixing that up means your communication goes all over the shot.
I'm opening this thread again on the premise that people please drop the personal spats and get back on topic![]()
Even then your midfield has to do it's bit too.
