Did you even watch the match?
Nope it was not on tv, but heard it on the radio, and it was theo who missed the chances the commentator was saying. Even said how we should have brought on Gev earlier.Did you even watch the match?
I was at the match and Gervinho had simple chances.
Far simpler than Theos who also should have scored which i also said which you ignored just to be a WUM
Frustrating performance but as Ach said we played far better vs Wolves and only drew, today we were far poorer but won. Today the result was all important, especially given the other results, and we did. We end the year top 4 which we'd never have thought we would early season. Walcott's miss was embarrassing, he really is maddening at times. Gervinho looks dangerous at times but is far too slow to make decisions. Kos continues to impress and Merts is starting to look good, he seems to be adapting to the PL now.
Overall, job done. We need to strengthen up front in January, we're still a RvP injury away from mid-table right now, but a very pleasing day all round.
Hence why we need a Higuian or Benzima who know how to score goals.
Gervinho had chances but theos chance, even i wouldve finished 7/10 times and football is not even my profession. Dont get me wrong, both are terrible at finishing, theo is just not improving while this is gervs first season and he has much better ball control than theo can even dream of!I was at the match and Gervinho had simple chances.

RVP seems happy enough with Theo and who are we to argue
Great partnership
Long may it continue
Still, no improvement in 4 yearsThat was a good one
No, there's definitely been improvement in the last four years but Walcott remains a maddeningly inconsistent player who will miss easy chances to score or to create something and who gives the ball away far too cheaply. He's also prone to injury. However, his pace means he continually gets a good number of opportunities and he's making a few more of them himself now. He's also someone who will track back and add his effort to the collective defense - another improvement.RVP seems happy enough with Theo and who are we to argue

But he's not terribly convincing alot of the time. He's like an awful Gareth Bale. BBC says Walcott and the club are squabbling over a new four year £85,000 per week deal. I don't think he's worth much more than half of that.
Now that i can agree with.
Anyway bigger problem is centre of midfield.
Ramsey has been very poor and was awful in this game.
Wilshere should solve the problems in midfield, theoretically. We have to wait another 6 weeks and we have to hope that Wilshere comes back healthy and on top form. Should that happen Ramsey plays less and rotates with Wilshere and Arteta in those two midfield roles. Ramsey is by no means a lost cause but to rely on him at this stage of his career is risky. He can be very good at times, but lacks consistency and he can just as easily have a poor game. Wilshere plays at a higher level and is generally more consistent, despite being Ramsey's junior.
An ideal solution would be for Wenger to give up on Diaby and get another creative midfielder in - one in his prime or coming into it (Gotze). I don't think we're really in desperate straits in midfield though. By the end of February we should have a midfield 3 of Wilshere, Arteta and Song. That's a good mix and can do the job we need. With a more experienced Ramsey, developing Coquelin as well as the old heads of Rosicky and Benayoun, we have enough in midfield. You could throw Diaby in there but tbh, the sooner he goes the sooner we have a spot free for someone who is actually available to play.
