The Ox's goal was bloody splendid. Generated so much power and pace from such a static position. Didn't need much of a run just a small step and whack! Went flying into the back of the net. That kid is a gem.
Good result yesterday, plenty of goals, couple good finishes from Walcott and a great one from Oxo cube.
Giroud got a goal but then missed a penalty, bit undecided on whether he's gonna score goals for us so far, it was great for him to score a goal but then going on to miss the penalty was disappointing.
Gnabry looked interesting. Confident and direct and eerily very similar looking to Le Ox.
Yes.
But I'm not understanding this out-wide versus upfront stuff. None of the front 6 hold any shape in this system. They did last season with Walcott out wide assisting for the traditional CF, Van Persie. But now everyone just do what they want. But in this 4-6-0 stuff, you can't carry 'defensive passengers'; everyone has to defend as well. Walcott can so it's not an issue - can easily see him slotting in place of Gervinho. Arshavin and Giroud don't fit in though. Right now, I can't see why we've signed Giroud. Could've got another Spanish midget in which would've helped us 10 times more.
This is similar to the Verm, Kos, Mert situation (but not as good). Don't know why anyone would be outraged when they see a team and one of them is not in it. They're all roughly the same overall but have different qualities that they bring. It's not as if we've had awful results overall and the fact that most Arsenal fans seem to be tipping ourselves to beat the league-leaders on the weekend suggest we're liking the side.
I thought all the goals were great.
Even the pel wasn't that badly struck.
Also, I keep remembering the chance Gervinho had v City, the one where he had that awful first touch.
That run and position is exactly the goal that Walcott has been scoring for a while, and did again last night.
His second was Walsome too.
Factol the matter is, efficacy isn't his problem, efficiency is. I reckon he just might save Liverpool's season.
