Well I thought Jenkinson was dangerous for a large majority of the time on offense, with that one pass that should've easily been a goal as well.

Besides the burst into the box, didn't seem like he did anything. Nothing poor, I just didn't see any danger coming from him.

Diaby had 3 or 4 really gorgeous balls up to Giroud and one to Theo. One of those into Giroud ended up being a nice one-two with him surging into the box. Gave the ball away some though cheaply (as did nearly all our players in the first half). Played pretty well defensively. Like I said earlier, the problem will be our midfield balance. I think Diaby positionally plays the double pivot better than anyone on our team right now, though Ramsey has shown some promise there of late. Jack's pushed further up the pitch this season and Rosicky has typically done the same. The problem with Rosicky starting is that he's 3rd on our no. 10 depth chart. I'd definitely be open to seeing how a Jack-Rosicky-Arteta midfield 3 would play out, but that would definitely leave us light.
