with 11 men, have to say Sanogo stood out. first two starts for him in two of our biggest games he gave a very good account of himself. some dodgy touches in the box but outside it, he really has shown some wonderful stuff. that take, control and pass to the Ox today was superb. very raw player but clearly a lot of potential, offers a better option then bendtner and giroud has to fight for his place back. a good talent
Sanogo stood out? Are you serious? So this is what it has come too.Originally Posted by Ollie the Optimist
From watching Bergkamp, Henry, Wright...hell even Adebayor and RVP.....we now believe runnig around like a useless chicken makes you stand out?
except he hasn't just run around like a useless chicken has he? he played a key part in our first goal v liverpool and had some very good touches and passes at the start of the game that made him stand out. if you want to be angry and not give any praise to anyone then fine, but sanogo has made a good start. very raw, especially in the box but there is clearly some talent there and he is showing it. lots of work to be done, but he's done ok.
Ozil is a fraud
We need Cesc back
He looks like a complete amateur but it's quite endearing because he also a bit of ability.
Thought he did OK early on, he's barely played so based on that got to give him some credit, certainly a better option than Giroud as we have more pace up front with him and are more direct. Top class striker might have put some chances away though, a must buy in the summer.
Kind of reminds me of Ade when he first came here. I see a lot of potential in Sanogo but it's criminal that he was our starting forward out there tonight.
Excellent start. Had enough chances to take the lead. Ozil killed the momentum. Then the match was ruined after Szczesny was sent off.
Can't expect to do much against one of the best teams in the world with ten men, a depleted team and a passenger like Ozil.
We showed we can match them in the opening stages, but 0-2 is a difficult scoreline to overturn at any time. And now we have more injuries and suspensions.
Can't fault most of the team though.
As long as this doesn't affect the PL run-in, we should be fine.
I don't think we can win 3-0 or 3-1 in the reverse fixture.
Really need to put all our eggs in two baskets now...

Per just gave a great interview, absolute gent. Club captain next season for sure
Very proud of the boys tonight, just didn't go our way. Can't complain about the pen and red, but the rule is crazy. Heart break with the 2nd goal.
As for Robben, vile player. So greedy. Kroos is quality though.
