Puncheon's miss; Lee not shooting directly in front of goal; Bolasie and Zaha coming off for players who were completely ineffective; Bamford coming on for only ten minutes...
Ward's awful attempt to box Sanchez out on the goal is one thing; Coq not seeing red is another, but Palace had more than enough opportunities to at least get something out of this game.
He'll get more credit than he really deserves for the assist, but Ozil played well enough today to warrant praise. Ramsey and Coq were again poor though. Their midfield is really struggling these first two games.

By wedward Go To PostAnd that was silly also. John Terry and Shanks Same person confirmed
There are certain players who you sign and you expect them to make a difference.
Ozil hasn't even come close to being as good as Fabregas was for us.

fucking HELL
LOOK AT YOU KOSCIELNY
That was bad from him.
And Ozil
And Cech.
Good shot tho
By n8 Go To PostChelsea will come for the point thoDefinitely - but you can still beat them. Especially with somebody like Aguero in the side.
I think the excuse that Chelsea park the bus and so a draw is all you can manage is used too readily sometimes. If you wanna be Champions you need to be able to put away an out of form side at home.
Like it wouldn't surprise me if Chelsea are right on it today but going in to it City have to be thinking about putting them away and piling pressure onto Mourinho. Should start very aggressively.
By Shanks D Zoro Go To PostWalcott is the best pure finisher, but you are right.
Robin was something else. Total awareness of where the goal is and that killer instinct that you mention.
Eduardo :(((
Do you think Benz would solve our problems?
Solve I honestly don't know, but he's certainly a better finisher than giroud and more trust worthy. Our problem
Is that we need a certain type of striker to play for arsenal, someone who can offer naughty little flicks give and goes hold up play while being a decent target man which there are very few strikers of that mould. Cavani and lewa (not that lewa is remotely an option) are much better options if you want deadly finishers (both more deadly the benzema imo) but they would both prefer to play on the shoulder as opposed to their back to the goal. So for what we need I think benzema would significantly improve what we have and fits the mould of what we need. Plus while he's not quick at least has a slight turn of pace so if you put him through he's going to give to think about. Where that's not remotely an options for giroud.
By Zabojnik Go To PostHave we signed Illaramendi yet?
Always knew you were a Liverpool fan.
I feel silly but he did confirm my point, if he wanted something more expansive he would picked someone else

But also this requires that we have wingers who can score a load of goals. Sanchez yes. It is the others that let us down.

Ozil was significantly better than cesc second half of last season.
By Kidjr Go To PostOzil was significantly better than cesc second half of last season.
yes, but still not a touch on peak Fabregas for us. He could score, was great in tight spaces, saw passes that others couldn't, and arguably had a range of passing only surpassed by Pirlo and Xavi, short or long it didn't matter.
Ozil is such a controversial player at Arsenal considering he has done very little in either a good or bad away.
At least Di Maria had that funny sending off.

I defended him his first season, but the more I saw him last season i believed in the Ghostil comments.
Even during the world cup, Germany could have won without him.
I want him to succeed. But he needs to work harder and add another dimension to our play. Like that flick against Villa last season.

You are right, I didn't want to mention Totti :p

I'll give you that but fucking hell cesc himself hasn't come close to being that player.
If nasri played for city like he did us (especially when he got moved centrally) people would mention him as one of the best in the epl.
Take away the nice touches no look passes etc it's the simple things that Ozil does incredibly well. Lampard esque in that regard, head up space, pass, with accuracy, keep the attack moving. It sounds easy but it's not, so many players even while blessed with ability are let down by decision making, timing, awareness.

What the fuck is a cape???
This could be good due to defensive fragility Chelsea is showing.
But I believe Mou can motivate them well.
2-2.
Mangala OG.
