re: Arsenal 2013/2014 Season Long Thread

players of his type will always get more criticism than more proactive players who actually produce less. he's suffered a dip here and there lately, likely due to fatigue as much as Theo and Rambo absence. he still was MOTM vs Southampton just a couple of weeks ago. he's still created more chances than anyone else in European football. he still has more assists than anyone but Rooney in the EPL. he was horrid saturday (very few Gunners weren't, though) but overall he's been quite good.

That was excellent. Spot on really.
Cant believe chelsea tied, we may have more of a shot than i previously thought. The top 3 teams deff are trying their best jekyl and hyde impressions this year.

Are you studying engineering? Which one?

Civil engineering. The plan is to work on bridge design post college

Nice man. I got a couple CE friends ... they're not doing bridge design though. I did Petroleum Engineering.

Another round of Arteta/Wilshere in the middle. Kinda surprised that Gnabry didn't even make the bench for this match no?

Yea not sure why both Beo and Sanogo are on the bench

my thought too. gnabry must have a knock or illness or something. AW does do some odd things from time to time, but gnabry not even making the bench over sanogo would be a big time head scratcher.
was hoping for Ox with Arteta, but honestly this lineup was going to be the one. should be interesting. i'm really nervous. this match will certainly alter my mood dramatically for the rest of the day.

Man U can have the worst manager on the planet and we'd still never beat them. So gay. Giroud sucked again today. 
The Premier League was won by City/Chelsea the second Theo tore his ACL.

Our offense has become meander up the field, then pass to Giroud at the top of the box and hope and pray that his one touch lay off finds someone in an Arsenal shirt (5% success rate).

Without a doubt, Bendtner would have done better towards the end of that game. Liverpool sucks on the road but it wouldn't surprise me if they ran a train on us again in the FA Cup.

If we do win against Liverpool I hope we luck out in the drawing for the next round. It would suck arse to draw against City.

what a weird match. i liked our energy, but we still rely on too much ridiculous intricacy when trying to score. thought ozil and santi were pretty good, none of the other attackers did anything worth writing home about.
giroud is gassed and ridiculously out of confidence. could've scored 3 (2 open headers, somehow not getting to sagna's amazing cross). alas, i think he needs a breather and a match against a League One side to get his confidence back up.
really think we should considering going strikerless vs Pool on Sunday. Giroud's issues i've mentioned, beowulf is shite, sanogo is ?. Considering Jack isn't healthy enough to play 3 matches in a week, I think we should play Ox at CM, Gnabry at RW, Ozil and Santi centrally, and Nacho at LW. it will never happen, but oh well. i'm tired of watching the same attempted give and go from our midfielders to Giroud. it wasn't exactly leading us to run rampant on opponents even when he was on form. now, his presence (and beowulf's and poldi's) is just an anchor to our offensive output.
that said, shocked poldi didn't get a run out in the last 10. also continued to be shocked gnabry didn't make the bench/didn't play.
so much for the top 3 running away. have to say LFC are as much title contenders as anyone. i think they might finish higher than us now. if we're not careful, spurs might too.

thought ozil was good
Pretty frustrating to watch him pick his head up, look across the field, and then play a five yard square ball because everyone is just staring back at him
Posted on 2/12/14 at 4:44 pm to joey barton
absolutely. has to be killing him too.
you could tell he heard the criticism because he was flying around everywhere today. i guarantee that's the most ground he's covered all year
