The midfield are seriously lacking in creativity AGAIN. Arteta needs to do more, he's not meant to be a defensive midfielder, that's Song's job. Moreover, he seems so careless at times in possession, and has delivered a few hospital passes tonight.
And Gervinho's having a 'mare as well.
Didn't know you spoke French!
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Impressed with how both sides have defended. Two good attacking sides but both have been plugging any gaps. I think if Van Persie was more switched on (like he usually has been) we'd have been away - that dinked ball that was slightly behind him from Ramsey, Van Persie usually takes that with his left to shoot with his right but just miscontrolled it. Similarly Walcott just messed up the first touch when trying to lift it over the 'keeper.
Song has been very solid. Ramsey has been decent - clearly looks the most capable of finding a gap having done so twice. Walcott can do some damage but we need better hold-up play from Van Persie and Gerv (Gerv has actually been defending and tracking back superbly but largely anonymous and wasteful with the ball)...it almost clicked with a reverse ball from RVP when Walcott was through but rightly called offside.
We can take this lot - they were tiring towards the end of that half whereas we were gathering momentum. Hopefully Wenger just tells them to stay patient and not to anything silly. After 60 mins, we might be able to pick them off. A draw wouldn't be a disaster but I think we'll grab a professional win.
We got away with it at Norwich but these guys are pressing hard. The trio need to get a hold of the game. Positioning of Arteta and Ramsey is terrible. They're not open for passes and not moving quick enough.
Exactly, which is why our play looks so disjointed.
Players are out for the 2nd half
Hoping this half is better than the first half shocker
