Match Reacton thread Vs Southampton

[Cripps_orig]

Near perfect performance

10 of the 11 starters were very good

Theo excellent when he came on as was Ramsey

Giroud, poor chap. Hope he gets the goal asap

The one starter that was terrible? Ches. Fucked up for the goal, distribution awful. Had one thing to do all game and he fucked that up. Average to shit keeper. Mannone in til January and depending on how he does, we might need a new one then. Ches to be sold

Santi is fucking awesome. His first touch, close control is brilliant. Unfortunately and most importantly, you dont get FFL points for that so he needs to produce assists/goals against Pub Teamers

Mertemaelen are brilliant. Said at the start of last season that they would be our best CB pairing and was laughed at. Whos laughing now?

Gibbs assisted the 2 OGs Jenkinson is enthusiastic but he does worry me at times.

Arteta played his first forward pass of the season and what ball it was to Gerv Speaking of Gerv, you know Southampton are shit if he scores 2 past you.

Ox did nothing of note. Time Theo came back in. Great goal and he should have been more selfish instead of trying to play Giroud in but at 5-1 up, you can see why he tried to get Giroud to score

My motm though, the Pod fucking love this player. CK Still think hes shit? Knew his FK was in as soon as he hit it. Was right behind it and it would have taken a wonder save to stop it. Fortunately the Saints keeper is someone no ones heard of and couldnt produce it and his strength and never give up attitude for the first goal was awlsome. RVC who?

On another note, the song for Giroud is great Its to the tune of Hey Jude

Doesnt get much better than that.

what a win, what a performance.

after four games i would have loved this next stat
Played 4

Won 2

Drawn 2

Lost 0

GF 8

GA 1

GD +7

esp as one draw is at stoke and a win at anfield. great start to the season, onwards and upwards.

[Ollie the Optimist]

also the most important thing today is knowing what happened last time we beat southampton 6-1 at home. yep it was the first game of the unbeatables and we won the league unbeaten.



Invincibles mark II - ITS ON

[gunnerrrrr]

lets offer Carzola a 99 year contract extension...just to be safe!

What a fucking football player...best midfielder in the league already...by a country mile

[Cripps_orig]

Hazard is better tbh

But very pleased with Santi regardless

Oh they will be on here, we'll bw told it was only saints etc. Giroud failed again etc. i say just enjoy the win tbh feck everything else.

Giroud not scoring was the only negative of the game . But he will come good . I was also happy to see walcott scoring against his former team and not celebrating like crazy Ade . It was very healthy to show respect to that team who is generous for us with young talents .

[Cripps_orig]

Ive seen a couple of posts saying Giroud not scoring is the only negative in the game

Really?

Did no one see our clown of a keeper?

I wouldnt say Giroud was a negative either. If he had started then maybe

Yeah that was good of Theo tbf, can't argue he is good like that tbf.

Looks like I picked a good first ever match for my son. I'll forgive him if he thinks Gervinho is a world beater.

Gerv had a great match. Actually the whole team looked good except for a dodgy performance from Ches.

I'm over the moon that this was my son's first game - he had a wonderful time - was jumping around like mad!!!

Cesny had a blunder . Wenger should have kept Mannone . Why did he try to fix it when it was not broken ? I think he got eggs on his face on this one . Giroud didn't play that bad . But him not scoring worries people as he will be under more pressure and Chamakhtise . We want him to start banging them in the sooner the better .
