No, but they will stab all our players and try to persuade Wenger to sign them on cash in hand deals.Quote:

Women football presenters :haha:
Szczesny 5 - Couldn't do much for their goal, but made an idiotic blind clearance that indirectly led to the corner from which their goal came and generally coming off his line all the time because he's seen Manuel Neur do it.
Debuchy 8 - Really good debut, his crossing would have been exploited by a better striker and defensively no matter how much he gets up the pitch he's happy to tear back to cut out crosses.
Chambers 7 - Gives the impression he can really push on and become a top class centre back, there are a few things missing....communication with his fellow Centre Back needs to improve and he needs to perhaps temper his enthusiasm, as yellow card came about as result of being impetuous
Koscielny 6 - Really needs to work on what he's doing at set pieces, he needs to be marking the tallest player when Mertesacker isn't there not going for a cigarette break....mopped up well though when we lost possession in midfield.
Gibbs 6 - Played ok, hopefully that wasn't his hamstring that forced him off.....but it sure as hell looked like it
Arteta 6 - Wasn't that dreadful today, but the time he seems to need to take on the ball drew Palace players to him like a magnet
Ramsey 7 - Nowhere near his best, sometimes a bit slow to get to things or his passing was a bit off kilter but he worked hard and got his reward...captain material?
Wilshere 5 - Seemed to be running into cul de sacs, sad as it is to say seems more interested in partying than playing football at the highest level
Cazorla 4 - Worst game he's ever had in an Arsenal shirt, poor corners, poor crossing, dithering on the ball losing possession...shocking passing....Jelly Doughnut in the foot locker?
Alexis 6 - Seem to be trying too hard, crossing was diabolical....did provide some entertainment with some good ball skills....work in progress
Sanogo 5 - Negated everything positive he did, good running and winning the ball in dangerous areas with poor decision making and clumsiness....he's the one who has to pick up the cones in training i suspect.
Subs:
Monreal 7 - Did well defensively, tidy and effective....never going to be quite as effective as Gibbs going forward
Giroud 7 - Actually looked dangerous at times, not using him to hold up the ball deep like last season and better passing in the final third from midfield and i think he'd have found himself on the scoresheet today
Oxlade Chamberlain 5 - Didn't look match fit
Ah fuck, i've just realised Cazorla is in my fantasy football team, you fat chorizo munching scumbag
Sell Cazorla?!! What the hell is wrong with people on here? He had a shit game but he has been a very consistent performer for all the time he has been here.. so absafuckinglutely NO! Sanogo was beyond shit today! I really think he needs some confidence and if Campbell seems like a better bet, then loan out Sanogo to another team.
Sanchez looked clueless as well. He ran all day, so got to give him an A for effort, but in terms of end product, he was gob shite. Its only his first competitive game though and he'll hopefully get better.
Ramsey is God obviously :bow:
I never get the views on Carzorla on here (technically superb, two footed, nimble, fantastic shooting....though these are all reasons why he should play better) but I would agree it wasn't his best game but I didn't think it was his worst either. Not sure that goes in his favour though!
Sanogo wasn't that bad to me though I agree he isn't for this level yet and I actually thought Wilshere was good. Signs he is moving on a little....
Arteta was near faultless but Alexis' crossing was a real eyesore.... but I do like how he manoeuvres to face the play having received the ball. When he controlled the ball from that 50 yard pass on his chest and just kept it there, that was probably the best thing he did. A semi at least.
Cazorla was terrible but we know he's actually superb.
Sanogo was terrible and shows no signs of improving.
To be clear, I was referring to Wilshere with the signs of improving....though I think Sanogo is too, but not nearly as quickly as he will need to.
