Unlike Palace, we played a team willing to come out and attack and we struggled to create chances. A lot that is down to Giroud but I hope Wenger doesn't persist with this. Why not just start with Ox and Sanchez on the wing at least?

Giroud :haha:
He's not even trying.
Our left side is really poor from an attacking sense. Only bit of action coming from the right these days.
Everyone can have an off day but Bif refused to run, jump or get in the box. That's what he should be rightfully slaughtered for. Trouble is Wenger will look at a performance like that and be more determined than ever to keep on playing him so he can get the confidence back. Could be in for some big time frustration.
Shaznay was alright I thought, shot stops and clattering punch out
Monreal not bad
Chamaber other than one dropped bollock was good
Kos still a bit rusty
Debuchy I thought was good, encouraging
Arteta :rose:
Ramsay meh
Wilshire less rusty but ran out of steam
Sanchez must be wondering what he's signed up to, replaced by Ox...Wenger out!
Giround just fuck off, no wonder Sanogo was starting
Flamini (who won the sweep for booking within a minute?)
Ox directness we needed on too fucking late
Rosicky MotM :bow:
Giroud and Carzola were completely gash. We'll get slaughtered avant Everton if we put the same team and performance.
Yep, another free ride for Santi. Did nothing. But at least he didn't play for the turks, which is what Giroud effectively did. Awful from him, he's completely lost the ability to trap a ball or shield it. He needs to urgently get back to the most basic of basics so if he must play then at least he's not a 12th man on the opposition team.
Cazorla has been hot and cold for a while now but he's capable of scoring or playing a killer pass at any moment, you need to keep players like that on the pitch really. Wish he'd find some consistency though.
Santi was better today but I still feel we'd have benefitted from him playing in the centre with Ramsey and Ox out on the left.
Nah, would have used the last 30 minutes to give Campbell some time to show what he could do on the left, as everything came from the right all game.
