Ollie has a point though we must say the positvies and that is our defence looked good and it may have been not against top 4 teams but we were solid were as last season we'd have maid silly mistakes that cost us which was the the reason we did so badly cause we conceeded to many last season.

If the players can bulid confidence from their defending them im happy even merts looked class.
It's early days but so far they've not had their shooting boots on. Giroud has a lot to prove, he's not really a proven player and he won't get an easier chance than he did in the 1st game.

Podolski is good but he was visibly frustrated today, I saw him shouting at his teammates a number of times.

We had so much possession the defence didn't have to do a huge amount, in addition with no Delap 80% of their goal threat was not there.

Based on what I've seen of this team so far, I'm both disappointed and worried. Disappointed that we still look so ordinary and worried we're going to find it even tougher than last season.
