Pretty sure Theo took the corner that Mert converted in the NLD???

Why are people marking Mertesacker down in the ratings thread?

Didnt really have much to do but getting left for dead by Dyer in the first half was stuck in my mind.

This

2 times completely lost his man (Dyer), fortunately Verm was alert to react.

Also played Bartley onside for the chance that hit out cross bar when there was absolutely no need to.

noticing lots of empty seats tonight....

yes,, where were you?

Would prefer someone a little more creative as an SS if we were to go back to a two-striker formation. His link-up play is better than most though, especially for his size,

Well make him creative, training regime.

Indeed, we set up the offside trap - then all out of sudden for no apparent reason Mert made a few steps backward - offside trap ruined - causing Verm to drop back as well - then lacked time to mark Bartley properly which eventually led to a clear header.
Not Mert's best game by any means, usually he reads the game so well, but not today.
He doesn't deserve more than 6 in the ratings thread imo!

Sneaky bastard

[starmandb]

Walcott's been poor.

For about a month

he was good at reading
he was superb home to newcastle

[Zenith]

We have never lost a FA Cup tie at the Emirates, let's hope that won't change today.

not lost an fa cup tie at home in 16 years

Even better!

[starmandb]

a goal is coming!!! COME ON LADS!!!! Wilshere to score!!

good call sir

[starmandb]

Is Podolski on the bench? He needs to come on ASAP

he was on the bench

[starmandb]

Can't pass, can't score, can't dribble, can't cross, can't control. What can the mighty Wallcock even do?

61 goals 47 assists

[starmandb]

Gotta say, both the Giroud and Cazorla "songs" the fans are singing are incredibly annoying, and even more so when both are failing to score.

yes all that getting behind your players
whats that all about?

[starmandb]

This team is piss poor. Can't believe I have to watch this shit.

you don,t

[Sims]

I love you Starman.
