Need to get Remy on. Giroud was absolutely useless today... I actually like the guy but if he is refusing to be a striker, he can fuck off!

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
I don't think our attacking dimension is going to change much until Theo is back.

Arteta doesn't look good. Just walked through the mixed zone wearing a protective boot, limping badly. Wenger says he "turned his ankle".

Heard the fee is agreed, the wages sorted, the plane ticket and cab ride paid for, just negotiating his tube fare to the medical plus newspapers, Mars bars and sundry spending money. Wenger's not convinced the player can eat 1.5million Mars bars or read 375,000 papers in one visit.

Awful game, we need strikers as we have none now. All our attack was on the right hand side, so predicatable. Pitch didnt help either.
Disappointed with Ramsey, both his bookings were soft, but he's mature enouhgh to know better, especially since the second one came about because he was trying to be too clever and not take a simpler option. Still we ought to have enough to beat them outright in the return and go through, even without him. The fact that the Emirates doesn't have a fucking awful pitch will also come in handy.
Giroud, Cazorla, Ramsey were terrible.
Ramsey's worst game in 18 months probably. Hope he got it out of his system. He talked about simplicity being the key to his resurgence and today was an unfortunate return to all his bad habits. Still provided a perfect pass for Giroud to fuck up with though.
If the rest of the team had been on his wavelength, Sanchez would have had a stellar first have with at least 3 assists. It was similar to Ozil's first game when Feo fluffed about 76 chances that had been laid on for him perfectly.
Chambers. He's almost a blend of Koscielny and Mertesacker. Not quite as aggressive as Bosscielny, but has that intercepty, nipping-it-before-the-forward-settles quality and is obviously great on the ball. He's also slow like BFG. Or more accurately, serene and composed.
Ox has to be starting from now on. He always makes a positive impact.
Should batter them at home really.
