Udinese v Arsenal Wednesday 24th August 19:45

I'm really tempted to drop Walcott tbh, but I thinik Wenger will play it safe and won't risk playing Miyachi and Oxlade, even though I think they'd probably offer more than Theo at the moment.

I think you're right.

I will say this though, Theo looked better against Liverpool than he did against Newcastle and even Udinese, despite the goal, so it might well be he's just taking his time getting back up to speed (ironic, eh?), give him a bash up top in a 4-4-2 instead of Chamakh maybe.

He played 2 minutes v Newcastle tbh. Ok maybe a bit longer than 2 minutes

And he got an effort on target which is more than can be said for most of our attacking players that day.

Against Udinese, he was our best player in the first half, team went in for half time, no doubt Wengeritis crept in and they were all shit after it.

Took a MOTM by Liverpools left back to stop him.

In short, Theo is a shining light at Arsenal and could very well be the only one.

Theo looked better against Liverpool?

He did fuck all.

[Darth Vela]

Yeah, but his touch was better and general play was improved, in general he just looked a little less lost out there, difference was he was up against a competent LB.

[Kano]

2-0

[Cripps_orig]

2-0

So a 2-1 aggregate defeat you think?

Surprised you think we'll lose. Arent you one of the more optimistic ones?

Whaaaaaaat?

He looked as lost as he's ever been IMO.

At least he scored against Udinese and looked liked he might be an outlet for us against Newcastle.

I like him but he does have a horrible tendency to passenger his way through games, I blame the set up of the team rather than him individually though.

[Darth Vela]

Fair enough, I guess it's pretty subjective as it was more a 'feeling' I got rather than based on hard stats.

He does need service, get him more central and he might get more of it.

No point risking Ryo or AOC no time for more debuts play our best team Avalialbe to win the game even if that includes Nasri tbh.

[Master Splinter]

DV is now 100% mental I fear.

Wenger does it again .
