    Defence looked organised even without a proper defensive midfielder .
    Diaby not losing balls in dangerous area as he used to do .
    But sadly some negatives as well :
    Drawing at home against an average team
    Gervinho and walnut clueless and wasteful in the flanks .
    Main striker not receiving enough balls .
    playing with handbreak on as Wenger would have said .
    More work needed to sort some shit out .
    Had we scored it could have been a decent performance .
    Steve Bould making a diffrence already Bould.

    Meh. If it was uncomfortable on the pitch in that hwat as it was on the sidelines, i'm not suprised by the result. It was too hot to play pacey shit, which is where we lacked. Needed more speed in our play. Got the chance we needed, but the new boy fluffed his lines.

    On we go.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Our fullbacks really did nothing to help out Gerv and Theo, you can't expect them to beat 2/3 players every time they touch the ball. No overlapping runs, those two just provided nothing in the attack.

    When you have the ball that much, your fullbacks gotta be able to contribute, or at least, be able to free up some space, for the wide players .

    Excellent day, atmosphere was great, things went well as expected............and then Arsenal kicked off and it was all downhill from there.

    Wait, i lie. It was all downhill when it was mentioned in the programme that Mo Farah couldnt be there due to Sponsorship shit. Other Olympians were there who support Arsenal including a bronze medal winner but no idea who they were. We were all there for Mo and once he didnt turn up, the crowd felt deflated, the actual football wasnt important.

    But as this is a football forum and not yet call Moweb then i guess il post my views on the football.

    Today was supposed to be the first day of the season. Not for us Arsenal fans. Today was just a continuation of the same old shit from the last few seasons. Theres no point having a summer break cos we learn nothing new. We can have Ronaldo, Messi, get Baresi and Maldini 15 years younger and playing for us, Pele up top and nothing will change until we get rid of the football style we play. Its awful. Go back to 4-4-2. Its what we won all those trophies with. 4-3-3/4-5-1 has been an utter failure. We have absolutely no creativity or goal threat at all. It was a terrible game to watch and the awful weather to it and no Mo then all in all it was a horrific day. Could only get worse if Wenger decided to do a strip tease in the middle of the pitch. Thankfully he didnt.

    Keeper and defence were fine. I say fint but they had f all to do. Can remember Sir Ches making one save early on and after that, fuck knows. Mertesacker was very good though. Best defender we had. Verm wasnt troubled either and got the best cheer of the day. Already our best captain since Vieira imho. Impressed by Jenkinson today defensively. A bit shit offensively but that isnt his priority. After his car crash of a season last year, he started off well this. Long may it continue. Couple of dodgy moments for Gibbs but he was ok overall

    Now we come to the biggest problem in the team, midfield. Diaby was Diaby. Need i say more? Arteta? Oh dear god, why cant he pass forward? so much talent going to waste with his millions and millions of side passes. We know he has the talent, we've seen it at Everton but Wengeritis is doing its work well on him. He was shocking. Cazorla on the other hand, motm for me. Bright start and he actually shot from outside the area. Whether we coach that out of him remains to be seen but he looks good on the ball and he will get better.

    Up front, Podolski was starved for chances due to the ineffectiveness of the midfield but like Santi, he'll get better cos he is quality. Giroud had the best chance of the game and fucked it up. No excuses, it was a bad miss. Nothing to do with getting used to the leagie or whatever. He fucked up. Bad start for him. Gervinho can go past players, has no end product, Theo is usually marked by 2 or 3 people so cant get past players but has the end product. Merge these 2 ****s and we'll have a decent player. Alas we cant so we continue to suffer with Gerv being a bit shit and Theo not played where he would be most effective.

    Subs - Ramsey did more than Diaby did whole game as soon as he came on when he had a shot. Alreday mentioned Giroud and as for Arshavin, all the talent in the world. Get his head right and we have some player. Crowd are still with him. Only GW are not and GW arent exactly known for their footballing expertise with the tard on here after all.

    All in all, 5 words sum up todays shocker

    Different season, same old shit

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.
    I'd go with that. The performance wasn't great but it was fine. They look like the makings of a good side but they need to gel a bit. Sunderland came for a draw and got one. They did nothing up front, I can't remember Chesney making a save all game. The Spanish midfielder dude looks good. Gervinho looked dangerous, Walcott did nothing of note. Diaby was excellent. Defensively we looked pretty solid. Need to find a cutting edge but I think we'll get there. It does look like we'll do no better than 4th but that's much as I expected pre-season and wouldn't be a disasterous outcome.

    Sounds familiar. So he's literally valueless then? Imagine how the human race would have fared on a fuck with no end product. Nice while it lasted but extinction imminent. Same goes for this guy, will be interesting to see how long he can ride on the hope of the fans. All I know, that swimmer bloke from the States who won 18 gold medals, or whatever silly amount it is, had an end product.
