Stoke City vs Arsenal: Match Thread

Gervinho isn't looking like the Gervinho we saw last week, unfortunately.

 

Decent start. I'd like to see us getting Gibbs a bit more involved, I think we could have some freedom down the left.

Great to read this thread without Jayram ruining it with his constant whining and bitching

 

What a wasted chance there.

 

Doing well so far, the weak link is Diaby though.

 

Gibbs did fantastic to get back though. That should show some of the 'Gibbs-can't-defend' haters.

 

Movement is good, passing has improved but the final third is atrocious. Why are we scared to shoot?

 

we need to pass the ball quicker to move them about.

and when we counter, the 3 or 4 players who are in it need to just go fast and direct towards the stoke goal, ending in a shot or 2

 

Good to see Poldi getting in the game, far different to last game.

 

too slow , too timid.

get in there you ****s !

 

The pitch is definitely larger that last season.

 

Cazorla is magic

Diaby is cumbersome...

 

Giroud has good movement.

 

That's a horrible horrible tackle.

 

Where are our goals going to come from...

 

if we're going to have a shot from a free kick pass on someone's left foot, why not make it podolski?

 

cracking shot , about time we had a few chancer shots.

 

at least we're shooting from distance this season. last season we didn't have anyone bar vermaelen who seemed to know how.

 

Diaby has had a good half

 

Diaby has been pretty poor. Arteta and Cazorla have been excellent, but Diaby is letting the midfield down.

 

Does Arsenal have a plan B?
