Wigan Athletic vs Arsenal - Match Thread.

At least the Ox is playing well.

 

Missing the first half as had to step out.. How are we playing?

 

Sanogo was bitten by a goalkeeper when he was a kid. Piss poor.

 

The only way we ever play. Possession... No penetration

 

Not a lot of good football from either team really. Our passing has been very slow

 

'Mediocre' is perhaps the best word to describe our performance so far.

 

Sounds like a dull first half.

 

I don't blame Sanogo at all, he plays good, but he's still fresh, the main blame lies with WENGER in that we have to turn to Sanogo in such a major game. Sanogo could end up making a fairy tale and scoring, but it should never come down to even playing such a young player like Sanogo at such a major match for a team that claims to be world class.

 

S4ite?

Average?

 

Sanogo has been alright. He's quick, strong and makes good runs.. But his finishing needs a lot of work.

At least he gives us some pace.

 

What a **** first half, but that's been the story of Arsenal for the past 4 months. If this was against any of the big teams, it would be game over by now, AGAIN, nothing's changed, even if we win, it's clear everything is not all right here.

 

You could say the same for Nine Ranger.

I do like Sanogo though ... There's desire there... More than can be said for some of the others.

 

Giroud is holding the ball up well though.

 

Sanogo has been the second best player on the pitch after the OX.

 

It's why ozil was such a good signing

 

Sanogo has been playing well. He lacks composure in front of goal but hopefully that comes with age.

And this is an fa cup tie against a lower league team, it's the exact sort of game Sanogo would of got a chance in even if we have a super star striker at the club.

 

.

 

We need to speed up the play more and podolski needs to be making runs up the wing, we need more from the left side of the pitch in terms of attack.

 

It won't happen but Kallstrom for Arteta.

 

I'm a bit worried about Arteta and Carzorla both have been really poor lately.

Particularly Arteta - I would rather see Rosicky playing tbh.
