Szczesny didn't look assured or commanding, Koscielny had an off day but I'll allow it cause he's been amazing once again this season, thought Flamini was the worst player on the pitch. He is an absolute poverty footballer and looked out of his depth against a shite Championship team. Rosicky was amazing, Özil & Theo looked good and Giroud did the dirty work again. Thought Coquelin & Akpom did well when they came on


Ches did himself no favours IMO.
Go Cannons!!

Bellerin is much better in most aspects - as a RB anyway.

Chambers has been underwhelming - slow and weak in the air - needs much honing.


I know, hes just not built to be a starting RB. He reminds me so much of djourou when he had to fill in that time all our FBs were injured.

He did well for the goal, but he needs to play more centrally and will probably benefit from a loan some here else if I'm honest.

Too many games and the spotlight seemed to have rattled him a bit.

What exactly did Szczesny do wrong yesterday?

Chambers had a good game yesterday. I agree that his future lies in the centre of defense but he did a good job at right-back yesterday and showed immense skill for Walcott's goal.

Chambers is a really good player to be honest. He needs to improve defensively with his decision making but he is just 19, some 8 years away from his prime as a CB. It will come. Happy with what I have seen so far from him.

I agree, he had a good game. I dont understand many comments on here. I also agree his future lies as CB where he was very good earlier in the season until he got run into the ground, and was moved too much for such a young player. Having defended him, i do want Bellerin to play at RB when fit, as I see him as No2 to Debuchy.

I will have to watch it back to pick them out. I know that several times I swore at him on TV, tbf though one of those was just seeing him walk onto the pitch!

Szczesny didn't really do anything wrong but he didn't do anything to help his cause either. Brighton created very little bar their two goals so he had little to do most of the time.

Dodgy punch or attempt to punch one time iirc. Not much else.

Chambers is not the best RB, but he can play CB and even DM if he wanted. Excellent squad player.

How many free kicks has he scored for Arsenal? (Not counting the own goal the other week. No idea how that didn't get changed :lol: )

Against Southampton in the COC.

This and he's hit the bar several times as well. Deserves something around the 76-78 region imo.

Took EA years to upgrade his stamina from 76 to 86 so won't happen anytime soon...

For what reason?

1 goal and give him a big rating for it?

Not knocking him as a player, he's the best in the league this year. Just seemed a strange comment to make for someone who doesn't really seem to score many free kicks (despite taking them all?). Not that a FIFA 15 rating matters either way.

I thought maybe you meant to rate him less at the time with me not remembering his goals. I'd forgotten about the post until I saw this.

Bar = wide.

Again, not knocking him. Best player in England right now.

Who did Middlesbrough beat in the last round?

No game is easy whoever the opposition, as Chelski found out.
