Is that an exaggerated claim about Radio Raheem or is that actually the truth?
I thought he had a solid debut, real shame he didn't put away his chance, nice idea to chip Hart too.
I like the way he held the ball up and he is strong and pretty technical too. I think he could turn out to be a pretty decent signing.
I don't think there's any particular issue with his general game, the issue with Wellbeck has always been his ability to put the ball in the net, I didn't see the match but it kinda sounds like he missed a good chance at the weekend which is his achilles heel.
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
He's on odd one, in that he doesn't look like he's failing to put the ball away because his technique is shocking and he can't actually shoot - that chip over Hart was actually a lovely first-time effort under pressure? It seems to be more about decision-making than anything (e.g. he probably should have just rolled it to either side of the keeper instead of going for the cute option)? Hopefully that will improve as he gets more games under his belt as the CF...

I don't really get the criticism Welbeck's been getting for that missed chance. He did pretty much everything right and was very unlucky not to score, especially after you look at the angle it came back off the post. Half an inch to the right and it would have gone in. Maybe he should have gone for a simpler finish like invisible said, but it wasn't an easy angle to beat Hart like that either.
I felt very confident in the way he took that chance. He was composed, skilful and ultimately unlucky that he wasn't rewarded.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
He didn't scuff it ™, it wasn't miles wide. It was a good finish, very unlucky not to score and make it a perfect debut.
As it was it was a pretty decent debut, looking like a good signing.
You might say he was unlucky, but you make your own luck to some extent, a top finisher would have most likely put that away, he's got a history of missing chances, so was this just bad luck or an example of an achilles heel, failing to choose the right option and put the ball away.
Ah, Zim. The one Arsenal 'fan' punching the air when it didn't go in just so he won the internet again.
Well done.
