I'm going to start by saying we have to drop Gervinho, enoughs enough now. I know he's popped up with a goal here and there but he's done absolutely NOTHING since that game before Man City I think it was where he played his best game I've seen him play. Adding nothing to the team and he's becoming even more frustrating to watch with his predictable shuffling of the ball and getting tackled, it's time for OX to make that right hand side his position now.
Secondly, Podolski. He's not made the impact I thought he would of made at all and I think that's all down to him playing outwide and not where he's at his best, in goalscoring positions. Wenger even plays him up top on his own or reverts back to 4-4-2 with Giroud up there with him which would work IMO. Don't get me wrong his work rate is epic but I'd rather be seeing his form he brings for Germany and Cologne than turning him into a hard working left sided player because its the goals we're lacking up top ATM.
All in all was a disappointing game for us with no flair, no urgency and lacked end product! fair play to Norwich sticking to their game like most relegation candidates would at home against the big sides but now we have to come out against Schalke and QPR and make a point that it was a one off otherwise the great start to the season we had looks like complete bollox. To be behind Chelsea by 10 points already isn't acceptable!

Not going to take nothing away from his goal v Chelsea, brilliant goal! Still added nothing for the rest of the game. I was at the Olympiacos game to, any other game a keeper in the prem would of saved that but again he was frustrating/Added nothing. It was the game you realise how pissed off people was getting with him with all the moans and groans.
