a superb player but needs width to be at his best. his best games were when we had theo or gnabry on the wing. when its all midfielders he struggles. he got more involved when Gnarby was on today and look threatening.

Yes we have played a lot of games in a week, but i don't think it's a coincidence that both Ozil and Cazorla looked totally lethargic out there and couldn't string a pass together.

Özil is always lethargic...

Can't jump to head the ball else it'll mess up his haircut.

one more point. after villa game, if you told me that our next loss in the league would be united away in november and we'd be 2 points clear at the top of the league, id have called the men in white coats. shit game, shit result, but lets hope we bounce back like after villa. onwards and upwards

Horrible performance in the 1st half. Better in the 2nd but just not good enough.
Utd really aren't that good, they were there for the taking today and we just didn't step up and give a performance.

Very disappointing. Could be a turning point in the season for us and Utd :(

:good:

just really pisses me off that we have shamelessly turned losing to these fucks, into a finely distilled art form. no one does it better.

He needs to get involved more regardless of whose playing. That's what makes a world class player. A couple of bad games now and yet to really show what he can do. Just glimpses so far. The best was Napoli. We'll have to give him more time to adjust but it's very disappointing to already be thinking we need player x, y and x for him to really flourish.

Best player in the PL by such a distance it's a bit embarrassing.

Does this mean he'll win every game on his own? Does it mean he won't have any off-performances? Hardly. Football is still about narrow margins. But the effect his signing has had on the club is self evident. He's the cheapest player we've ever signed, in terms of the impact he's delivered.

Extremely sad comment. Just goes to show, there are some fans that could never, ever be satisfied.

On a positive note, how fucking brilliant was Gnabry when he came on? Made a huge difference, we were much better following his introduction because if the pace and width he offered us, which in turn allowed Sagna to put those balls into the box that we very nearly grabbed 2 goals from.

Wenger wore the coat of doom. It's no coincidence.
