    This is crap. We are not setup right technically and we are playing awful. The only good thing is we are not losing.

    Pardew is proving that he has no idea what he is doing. Our midfield is getting battered and Shola and Ba well........

    WE NEED AN EXTRA MAN IN MIDFIELD while we still have a chance. If this is a sign for the rest of the season....... omfg!

    The ball is not sticking, no passes are accurate, the movement off the ball is awful.

    BUT we are defending well!

    It's difficult to say but we are missing Nolan. We've got no one with the desire to run the ball down like Nolan did. There's no pressure and Ameobi and Ba look vacant up top. Ameobi need to come off for Obertan so he can close Arsenal down early.

    Needless to say, Raylor is having a shocking game at LB. He's getting run inside out by Gervinho and Sagna

    Can't judge too much based on one half against a team that, despite missing some of their better players, are still one of the best in the league.

    I was expecting a bit more from Cabaye TBH and your right Raylor is having a shocker but hes not a natural LB ofc. Simpson is having a bad game also.

    We need 5 in midfield and I would take shola off for real. I wouldnt put Obertan on though I would put Gosling on as he has legs!

    How can anyone chill when watching the toon get a grip.... I have a mild stroke everytime I play and my blood pressure is sky high.

    However we have not played well at all.

    I fully expect us to score 4 goals this half. I am totally deluded!

    Yeah we've been pretty disapointing, but we're well organised atleast. It feels like we're trying to play counter attacking football but without a pacey forward...

    Maybe this is all part of a grand plan to wear Arsenal out in the first half and then come out at a higher tempo in the second...? :p

    Considering its 0-0 at half time, we aren't doing too bad at all. They're still a top side don't forget. It's clear to me that the team are still settling in and working off the rustiness. Not surprised, considering the the pre-season we had.

    On the plus side, Obertan looks quite handy, think he could cause problems for other teams this season...

    Think we would have done much better with a proper LB, Jonas was tracking back like crazy all game and couldnt get forward as an outlet
