    That should have been a penalty for Swansea

    Nearly approaching half an hour and I don't think we've had a shot on target? Or even a half chance to speak of.

    Chamberlain has no end product.

    Gets in soo many good positions and inevitably waistes the opportunity.

    Chambers seems to have better crossing ability

    We've shown a serious lack of quality so far, with no one willing to put their foot on the ball and play a well timed pass

    How is it that Wenger spent nearly £100m this summer but we look so much worse? He is such a limited manager.

    I would say this game was monotonously boring...but I'll be kind and say that at least it's consistent.

    Oxo is the only threat and with both Ki and Taylor on yellow cards he might get more chances. However he REALLY needs to improve his composure and crossing.

    Been an even half. Swansea started better but we ended better. Will need just that one moment of magic to win it.

    Thought the build up play for the Welbeck chance was great but he could of done better with the finish. A close long range effort from Ramsey and a decent head from mert too, otherwise not much else to shout about. It's been a cagey game so far and we look more concerned with not conceding than with scoring, which I suppose isn't a surprise given our recent defensive displays.

    With a little more flair in the second half we can win this. Walcott will have fun coming on near the end of the game against tired and booked players.

    As long as we keep it tight until the 70th minute and give Walcott a good 20 mins, then it'll be interesting. I hope Wenger doesn't give him 10....

    Theo might just be the game changer here. Been a while since he played the super sub role for us.That being said Oxo has been our best threat so far so I'd probably take off Santi, move Alexis into CAM in order to accommodate Theo.

    Good idea OXO, Sanchez could easily play the CAM well enough and still be a goal threat.

    Dull first half, need to up the pace in the second.. think Swansea are there for the beating.

    Positive was Sanchez almost invisible in the 1st half... turn it around you Gunners!

    That would be very interesting Oxo - and would allow Oxo and Sanchez to roam across the front 3, wherever there's space (and Walcott as well)

    Was s good goal. Nice run from Oxo and a good pass from Welbeck.

    12 in 14 for Sanchez.

    Bring on Hector for Chambers. He's getting killed here.
