if you look at last year, he was imense. our best defender, its what happens when you give him a run of games. Him and merts read the game so well and anticipate much better then vermaelen does. while kos does have that mistake in him, its less liekly then vermaelen imo, vermaelen is more likely to give away stupid free kicks etc leading to goals (chelsea game)
personally im happy we have a player who doesn't conform to this tippy tappy slow tempo crap.
he gets the ball, head down and runs at the defender.
the only reason he loses the ball more than others is because he's taking more risks.
he could do a ramsey and just pass the ball 5 yards every time but it would be pointless.
we need out of the mould players like theo and chambo.
podolski with a van persie type goal![]()

he's overhyped for his ability but that's the media's fault for giving him the rooney treatment for his every touch at the euro's.
but we don't have to worry about that anymore as the light has moved onto zaha. chambo can develop quietly.
Just saw a re-airing of the match. It wasn't our best performance, but was no where near our worst either.
Giroud is a beast at both ends of the pitch. He shows he has a brain whenever he has the ball, or is involved in the play any at all. Unfortunate not to score today, but we still owe this victory to him none-the-less. Two great assists
Wilshere is just a tremendous talent. No more needs to be said where he's concerned.
Podolski, great goal, kind scored by clinical centre forwards.
Per, Kos and Cazorla accounted well enough for themselves.
Sagna, simply the best RFB in the prem.
As for Ox, I think he started off a bit slow but his game got progressively better. Quite frankly, I like his bold and direct style of play. No million and one 5 yards lateral passing crap. Instead, always trying to break into the opponents 18 yard box. He's talent for sure and will only get better, more so now that the eye of Sauron seems to have shifted focus off him onto another.
As for rest of team, average at best.
Wenger, great 1st team selection. But being the ultimate wum, he couldn't help himself fucking around with us with that Ramsey and Gervinho subs.
