Meh. A point away at Stoke is not a disaster. We need Podolski and Giroud to get going quickly though, it is worrying where the goals are going to come from.
I think we're seeing just how important RVC was. We even looked blunt at the best of times last year but always had him to rely on. It will take time to adjust and find a new source of goals, you just can't expect to pick up where you left off by selling a player of his ability.
Same goes for Song but to a lesser extent.
Transition is a word that always pops up with us but I do think it's quite relevant at the moment, because Song and RVC were far more integral to us at their point of sale than Nasri and Cesc were.

Also, Diaby, starting to look the business. Needs to speed up though.
Need some more creativity desperately, makes us missing out on Sahin look like a very poor move.
Reasonable otherwise, I'm sure the players we bought have it in them to score, just need some more time I guess.
