The fact Gibbs is winning balls tells you something, infact most of the team is winning balls and in the air too.

Santi Carzola.

In control of the game but creating nowt so far.

Gibbs and Poldi playing well and Giroud is grafting.

I'd like to see more from Jenkinson as an attacking threat, Gervinho needs an option on the right otherwise he will keep on running into traffic.

Cazorla looking great, probing well and picking up the ball in dangerous areas. Someone needs to make some runs for him, it's shame we don't have another Spanish midget in the team.

Sahin would have been a good addition imo.

:gp:

I dont know what Ox needs to do to start games. Quite possibly one of the best players at Arsenal and he is sitting on his arse while shit kickers like Diaby get game time!

Time for Theo and Ox imo

Gervinho and Arteta/Diaby off

Bring on Ramsey as well and get him to do 2 footer on Shawcross's face

Frustrating 1st half of football

Hope we'll be more productive in the attacking 3rd next 45 mins.

Nevile thinks we've been good.

I concur.
