This fixture last season was won by RVC on his own.
Decent performance on the whole, the attacking side needs time to get on the same wavelength. Had Giroud not missed that sitter we'd be happy with a 1-0 win. Cazorla looks very good, already in tune with the league and once he develops his fitness a bit more I'm sure he'll be putting chances on a plate for Podolski and Giroud.
Walcott ineffective, Gervinho was good with everything apart from his final ball, hope he can do better with that this season. Defense didn't have much to do but did it well, I fear that a stronger attack will see us struggle. Need to sort out the fullbacks because they contribute nothing going forwards.
On to the next one.
The King Is Back.
We do always struggle against Sunderland though.
They're just so soul-suckingly boring.
And now MON is in charge.
So, basically, striker needed?
No striker's going to come in, so we have to make do what what we've got. AOC was injured but when he's back he must start every game IMO. His energy and direct running from midfield can pull opposition players out of position and give us more space in the final third.
