Could have done with Alex Song tbh. Say what you want about his defensive ability, he was pretty good at choosing the right pass when attacking. We are missing him.
Gervais is awful, no way should he be starting ahead of Theo.

Well done to Mannone as well
No retarded moments we surely would have seen from the 2 Poles.
Didnt have much to do but what he did do, he did well. Our new number 1
Without wanting to use the footballer cliche too much, I do think the lack of attacking cohesion will improve. Not just because Arteta just said it. We haven't had this many changes in that department in a long time. Logically it has to take a while with all the new guys. Giroud looks like he'll be very good, and Podolski impressed me more on the left than I imagined he would. Question of patience I think. But the pace of Walcott/Chamberlain from the start would help. Disappointed to draw really. Got to win these games. But we were resolute defensively. Cazorla looks the ideal fit for his role.
we are still missing ljunberg,pires,vieira,henry,bergkamp....etc.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
we will stop missing players when we stop spending like we are still in the '90s.
He has always had one or two good games in him, then he goes back to being shit (or injured) I expect nothing different this time round.
Did none of you know Columbo was on ITV? Very good episode, stuff happened in it. Still on if you want to catch the end and avert a completely wasted and pointless afternoon.
Meanwhile, watched 5 mins of that garbage being served up by the team formerly known as Arsenal. Diaby - Lol. Gervinho - lol. Comedy players, fucking clueless. But we knew that. RvP carried the team last year. Song provided some of the ammunition. Both have been sold. Therefore the season is over before it started. This is the inescapable fact. It would be okay if the team could provide even 30 seconds of entertainment every once in a while. But it can't, it's incapable. No pace, no purpose, no urgency, no flair, no guts, but we knew this too. Arsenal is without a doubt the most boring team playing the game today. It's technical, there's a lot of possession, but the style completely lacks the fundamental objective of scoring a goal - the players just aren't good enough in the area that matters, the final third. You cannot be Barcelona with second rate players. It's the talent all over the pitch that makes Barca tick. Take away that talent and replace it with Arsenal journeymen and it's obvious what you'll get. Rubbish.
I'm basing this judgement on last season, and the season before and before a d before. I am completely comfortable and confident assessing the games this season, without actually enduring them, because you don't need to see it to know what will happen. That's how predictable the team is.
Don't know who they are playing next but I predict they'll play a slow possession game with zero end product. Lol. Who would dare bet against me?
Für eure Sicherheit
Walcott does not do a whole lot on the wings.. time to stick him up front with Giroud and have Podolski, Ox on the wings
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Gervinho is still crap and we desperately need to buy a striker
I think it is clear we are in tranisition mode guys especially in the top third. . .but there is a lot of hope as I think the new guys look very decent.
Not sure it was creativity we lacked more cutting edge, we seemed to go back to the tippy tap shit at times. . .although there were more shots than usual.
Things are going to go through Cazorla and he looks the nuts. . .I would stick with playing Giourd up front with Pods on the left but sorry Gerv played himself out of the starting 11 today, he just seems so cumbersome and lacks end product, my choice would be Oxo over Theo.
Diaby did ok but gets caught up at times, may need someone with more flair.
However, we got a point and next we need some goals to really get things going, its going to be interesting to see what happens from now till Friday.
The result wasnt what I wanted and we did play great but I will take the point and thank god I dont have to see us near Stoke again for another year
not wanting to sound grim but it was the same last season -- rvp was the difference in many such instances.
