A bit harsh. Flamini was pretty solid and Stoke weren't really a threat to us even though they had more possession than usual. MOTM for him. He's slotting in and covering well. Ramsey and Ozil weren't really helping on the defensive side of things to be fair.
those ratings and observations are off the mark. Giroud had a stinker in the second half - fucked up so many counter opportunities when Stoke held a higher line. Defence was dodgy all the way through. Wilshere was decent, creating a few opportunities, particularly in playing Giroud through and Ozil in the second. Also made some good runs - one in particular that Giroud could've easily played him through on goal in the second half but messed up the header. Flamini was ok but they were allowed too much space in the centre. We definitely missed Theo but Gnabry had a good half until he was subbed. Hope he's ok to return next week.
Wasn't a good performance. Everyone was quite sloppy again. Some players definitely need a game off to recover. Quite clear to see our midfield apart from Ramsey are not fit enough atm to handle 2 games a week for 6-7 weeks in a row.
Giroud wasn't that bad. Some bad touches and moments from him but he did his usual hard work and helped on the physical side with defensive headers and knock downs. Wilshere struggled in that game. 6 rating max for him.
Theo.....we passed poorly and really hard to say if we missed Theo because he doesn't contribute much further back in the field. Holding the line and looking to get in behind might not have been enough for that game.
The midfield trio needs work. Ozil will drift and contribute in the final third but we're still missing that player that will just keep the ball moving and control our tempo. Will be interesting to see what happens when Cazorla and Rosicky are back. Arteta is also fit and maybe he can get back to playing as a CM and move away from defensive duties.
Yeah pretty clear it was for the orcs else he'd have done it after his first goal of the season like Stewart Downing.
apparently he tapped his ankle before the shh? dont remember seeing that myself
and according to fans at the ground, after sagna scored, chesney made the wanker sign at the orcs
Flamini is doing quite well in his role but there is still a lot of space in front of the centre-backs much of the time. We'll get better with Arteta playing there.
As long Flamini is fit to play, Arteta would be warming the bench IMO.
somebody put something in my milk
It was the same last season with Arteta. Only so much one man can cover but with Flam at least we get that energy required to cover ground and that nasty streak to go in hard when needed.
Not just would but Should as well.As long Flamini is fit to play, Arteta would be warming the bench IMO.
Can see Arteta being sold at the end of the season...not that he's done anything really wrong since he's been here but i think he's surplas to requirements.
surplas to requirements? yes our bench in recent weeks shows we can just kick out players like Arteta at the end of the season
Let's be fair these people are provincial troglodytes....and i can make that assertion after a year of living in Hanley in Stoke on Trent, not a day passed without people (not homeless i should add) begging in the street for money.....the amount of examples i saw of hostility towards racial minorities, alcohol related violence and not to mention a pawn shop on every street corner.
You'd be hard pushed to find a bigger dive in the entire country.
