Why was Traore in the starting line-up? He had about 1 strong run and rest was just showboating with step-overs and stuff. And he always left their right mid unmarked.

First half was so much better but thats to be expected when you go 2-0 up.

The defence wasnt 100% solid but with no Toure or Clichy, and Song as our CDM i dont think we did too bad. Persie looks fit lets hope he can keep up for Sunday. Walcott was quality along with Diaby

I love Traore he looks like he's got loads of potential but he does showboat occasionally and he does push up the pitch a bit too much sometimes leaving space behind him.

I'm sure Arsene will sort him out though. If not he'll have to become a left winger which I'm sure he'd be good at.

i just got back from da game and i must say i was not at all impressed with the second half peroformance.
first half we were brilliant but as soon as robin came off steaua just attacked and we cudn't defend, especially on our right. traore wasn't great.

I may be wrong but we seemed to loose it again when they scored?

definately. we lost confidence and our passin game fell apart.
we pulled off a few attacks at the end, but against better opposition we would've drawn or lost that game.
we need to strengthen the squad in january, even if it means bringing in an experienced centre back to cover for kolo.

there was no need for us to go all guns blazing. at the end of the first half it was basically job done and the players needed to avoid injuries for two very important games coming up. chelsea and blackburn.

Great suff from Nic and Diaby! Cool and collected finishes.

How was RvP, did he look sharp enough? Thank God he'll be back to face Chelski. I wonder if Wenger is planning to use him alongside Bendtner?
