Match Reaction vs West Ham

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Good performance. Wilshere, Podolski, Giroud were sublime, Cazorla to a little lesser extent. Rest of our attacking players were decent.

Need to be able to step it up like that whenever needed, West Ham couldn't deal with us. Defense was surprisingly solid apart from their goal.

I hope this result doesn't see us back off in the transfer market because we still need one or two but everyone can be quite happy about today.

I have to the game to watch tonight and am looking forward to it after the last couple of razor jobs. . .
I agree, I hope we dont take this win as a sign all things are rosy with the state of the squad. . . I also get your argument yesterday about the need for a true talent rather than mere squad players but I sometimes worry about the appeal of the place.

Also I have been thinking, correct me if I am wrong that it is not necessarily RvPs goals we are missing (well at least not the quantity of them.......) we seem to be sharing the goals across the team more than in the past (Feo 15, Pods 10, Giroud 9, Santi 7 all comps)- I know we are a massive amount of points adrift, and worse of in terms of points than at any time during Wengers era but the amount of goals we have scored compares favourably to those teams above us.....more than Everton and Spuds, one less than Chelsea and more than Citeh, what we miss is the match winner, someone to score a goal out of no-where a la RvP - I think this adds a little weight to the argument of bringing in Villa - if we can swallow his wages.

I know that the counter to this argument is that we need to stop letting in......but before you shoot me down, I am not saying that we don't need to help with the defence - but our goal difference is better than those apart from the top three! as Boss was saying yesterday we need class and a player that can win us games with a flash of brilliance is definitely order of the day -
