Stoke v Arsenal 26/8/2012

[Young Guns 11]

Yup, we're gonna struggle to score goals this season if we play like this....we're creating next to nothing....we've got plenty of possession of course but that counts for nothing.

It's stoke away, we know this is going to be hard to create! None of the top 4 beat them at home last season, ffs.

[Power n Glory]

What a loser.

[Cripps_orig]

Cazorla being called Caforla is fucking annoying

Gervinho

Get it in the box ffs

[Özim]

Gervinho is so sh*t, he pretty much delivers nothing everytime he has it.....another player with no end product!

Yeah well we didn't score against Sunderland at home either.

[Newguy]

Our tempo is so slow...its hard to say but swansea play better football than us by a mile

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Gervinho has been shit.

This is a first but i agree with you.

Two comments:

First, Arsenal have played like this for a few seasons. The presence of van Persie glossed over this previously.

Second, Arsenal have two new strikers and a new midfield pivot. It is going to take a while for them to gel and for the rest of the team to get used to them.

This match is not finished though.
