I seriously don't get why you resent the idea of bringing on Giroud for like 20-30 minutes when all else isn't working

I don't if we truly need him but the whole point is how is Sanchez going to become our no1 choice ST if he can't adapt to being in the box when needed, that goes for our whole front 3-4 tbf.

TBH I think they can, and they showed it by the end of the game.

We shouldn't have to revert to certain personnel to execute a switch of tactics, what if like Sunday Giroud is not available?

I'm also saying it did work, we just didn't switch to it early enough, reverting back to Giroud is not the solution, if we tried crossing earlier and the offense couldn't get on the end of the ball, then I'd be calling for Giroud myself.

You want a target man in the box when you bombard it with long passes and crosses from deep against a static bus parked team. If we had units across our team, we could maybe get away without a target man, but hoping on our midgets out jumping/muscling defenders in the final minutes is a poor strategy.

It was literally a miracle that the ball dropped in the perfect place for Theo to nod on, the goal was circumstance more than intention and we were damn lucky to walk away with 3 points. Sanchez didnt win one header iirc against Burnley, to actually keep going on that basis if any one of our 6ft strikers were available would be neglegence.

I get you hate Giroud, but making a case for a team of midgets throwing themselves at PGs wet dreams just isnt realistic. Burnley will probably be the only time that works this season if we are in the same position again imo.

I agree Giroud shouldn't start. However, say, like yesterday, if Giroud was brought on at about 70 minutes and we played two up front, we would have destroyed Burnley in the last 20 imo

We definitely should of had two ST's in the box without doubt against a team happy to sit with their backs to the wall.

We need to win 6-0 so that people start knee jerking about us

it's been so long since we won big

Last time we won by a 6 goal margin was the 7-1 win v Blackburn in 11/12
Ox was superb scoring twice
Theo was very good with 3 assists
As was coquelin who got 1
Koscielny was good with an assist
As was mertesacker

[starmandb]

Heatons easiest game ever?

The game before they beat watford 2-0

[starmandb]

You will never win anything with a coward like ozil

Ozil has 2 fa cup winners medal with arsenal
Some people like Gary Johnson don't know what allepo is
Some people don't know what a leopard is

[starmandb]

With City getting a thrashing from Spurs thus was a great opportunity to close the gap. So typical of us to not grab the bull by the horn when the push comes to the shove

We will win this game.

Good call sir
All you've got to do is win
League titles have been won on the back of plenty of off colour performances

[starmandb]

For all of Burnleys defensive attitude, easiest game they've had.

Burnley 2 watford 0

[starmandb]

As I said a leopard doesnt change its stripe. Few good results, Walcott doing bunch of interviews. Arsenal turning up to games thinking they already won. Some things just never change. Thats why no serious person think this club will ever get anywhere. Super lucky not to be a goal down, but they will concede and then huff and puff

Good job this super frivolous person has seen us win 18 trophys then

[starmandb]

0-1 with a kos or Mustafi goal with Cazorla assist would be nice

Good call sir

[UFGN]

We ground out a result which is always the most important thing, but we're going to have to do better than that this season if we're going to do anything.

You shouldn't need to win ugly in the 93rd against Burnley.

[Big17]

You shouldn't need to win ugly in the 93rd against Burnley.

You're right, we shouldn't but it's football. Smaller teams sometimes turn up against the biggest clubs. We aren't the first team to struggle to break a small team down and we won't be the last.

Barca 1-2 newly promoted Alaves.

[starmandb]

Someone make a clip of that. Had Theo done that we'd never hear the end of it

iwobi has been on the first team for about 5 minutes Theo 12 years! so different expectations and not a fair comparison !

Theo Walcott was not playing in anyone's 1 st team at 15

[starmandb]

Lol we are going to loose ths!

Lose the extra o
Add an extra I
And remember that you never ever give up

[starmandb]

I will take the draw right now....this has 1-0 loss written all over it and they deserve it

You see stripes where others see stripes
You are a true visionary

[starmandb]

WTF are we doing!! this game is over! It a draw or a loss! we have no clue what the f**k we are doing in the final 3rd.

need them to make a mistake!

Don't you just love those 81 minute football games?
