How the hell are you gonna let a player control the ball and slowly take 2 more touches and shoot without closing him down? its clear he was worried about the kids pace and thought if he gets too close the player would go wide and put a cross. Let him do it then......as a defender you have to make the attacker take the less dangerous option

90% of the time the attacker won't shoot like that though, that's why it was such a good goal, it kind of came out of nowhere...

Arteta is not fit for high tempo games.
Koscielny clearly the man of the half.
Giroud needs to get his striking boots on. He should have done better with the couple of chance he had.
Rosicky and Flamini's legs plus Walcott's pace is what this game needs. I would take Ramsey, Ozil and Arteta off.
Ramsey is our match winner and generally gets better as games go on. Immense engine so will be better 2nd half. If you wanna bring those players on it should be for Arteta, Cazorla and Wilshere
Ramsey has made several sloppy passes and mistimed tackles. He has been superb this season but lets be fair he was pretty poor in that half.
Even at 50% he'll always be more dangerous than Rosicky.
LOL. At 100% he's not as dangerous as Rosicky... Jesus that man is under-rated..
In no way is Rosicky more dangerous than Ramsey
Ramsey has more goals this season than Rosicky since 2008. More assists this season since Aug 2011. One cross changes nothing bro

what a joke of a post. He has been very good lately, just today he wasnt good.
Agreed. He might be losing his legs but he's still our best DM.

We really really need to get a mobile striker with killed instincts this January if we want to win the league.

Giroud was a wonder strike away from being hailed but it didn't happen, that's the reality of it, we could of used a few more strikes like that from him this season, his fault he's not been doing it.
Look at Suarez, that's a striker who's due applause, Giroud had a very mediocre game and missed a golden tap in that Ozil had to finish, what's to rave about I really don't know?
