Seriously, nothing wrong with what he did???

Easy pass for a certain goal is always the right option.

Gerv fucked up there 100% no excuse

Also Song has been pretty IMMENSE.

Decent performance.

Have to watch out for that Koscielny player of theirs. Best player for Blackburn

Great goal by Arteta. Gervinho took his goal well but has had a shocker since.

Expect more goals in this game

We're attacking well and much differently from what we're used to. Arteta has been seriously good.

Yep, and there are signs from Arshavin he might be sorting his shit out. Gervinho is making the difference up front and we're getting players forward at pace which is a huge plus. It's the defence though, why the hell didn't we get that sorted in the summer? Whatever the outfield manages to do the defence is always liable to offset it. I know Merts is settling in but there aren't many good signs from him right now. It was disappointing to see him rolling around the place early on after being tapped. The Blackburn manager is pretty poxy though, he must be able to see the weak areas but he's doing nothing about it. Hopefully he's a stubborn as Wenger and won't chance anything for the second half.

Slightly better decision making in the final third by Gervinho and it could have been 1-4.

Arshavin and Walcott have made as many poor decisions in recent weeks though.

Szczesny looks a bit shaky today, hopefully he gets it out of his system in this match.

Gervinho, Arshavin, Arteta look good. Song having another sloppy first half; at least he should be brilliant in the second half.

Best we've looked going forward so far, Song, Ramsey, and Arteta are playing in some good balls. Gerv and Arsh look very lively, just need to do better on the counter attacks. We can't keep defending like that on the set pieces tho, cause at some point we are gonna pay for it.

What game are you watching, he created both goals

Just Yorke as a pundit?

Sky not putting one of the big guns out for this match pretty much tells us how they see Arsenal these days

Arshy, Song, Ramsey and Arteta :bow:
