Nice of Santos to almost lose it for us at the end, he's the gift that just keeps on giving. Merts has suddenly forgotten how to read the game which is very worrying seeing as that's his main strength.

The midfield were average, Wilshere deserves so much better, the only fucking player willing to be direct. Cazorla is neat and tidy but hardly seems to find a killer ball. Ramsey was his usual self, having zero impact on the game, what does Rosicky have to do to get a run?

Podolski, Giroud and Theo were the brighter players, it's just a shame they don't have a defence behind them to ensure their work and goals are rewarded.

On the bright side, there is no one out there good enough to improve this team apparently, so we must be on to a winner.
I thought Cazorla and Wilshere were off as well. For large parts of the game they left that jittery Welsh kid on his own in a panic. The midfield trio play too far apart from each other. I saw occasions where Ramsey had the ball with a row of Liverpool players in front while Wilshere and Cazorla were pushed too far forward and not even looking to drop back and play a quick one two to keep the ball moving. Ramsey is shit but we'd have the same problem without him when it comes to moving the ball forward.
