Back from the match and not angry or overly disappointed because Arsenal were superb and gave us a footballing lesson. Quality display from Diaby, Arteta and Cazorla and a few early chances aside we cant talk about what could of been.

One thing I will say though is that Giroud is not an Arsenal player. At the moment he adds little to the team and Arsenal's best moment came when playing around him rather than off him. Long way to go and a lot of work to do.
 
Depressing... I think I can safely say that it's not all on the players. The tactics are holding us back and that's a real problem.

Longball after longball, how many of them have actually connected, aside from that one Carrick ball in the first half?
 
Nah, I meant that Euro team that's also partnered with Red Bull. It's probably the first time I've seen someone root for a team because of their shirt sponsor.

I don't root for the Red Bulls b/c of their shirt sponsor. I root for them b/c they are my local team. They used to be the New York/New Jersey MetroStars, then just MetroStars, then they were sold to Red Bull GmbH in 2006, which caused alot of upheaval among supporters.

I am not a FC Red Bull Salzburg supporter.

ARGH. Fuckin' Van Pursie.
 
Even if we had that DM, we wouldn't press anyway. Useless longballs/crosses and conservative approach to the press in both attack/defending. It's like anti-Barca in its totality.

But Keane and Robson almost literally dragged the rest of the team over the line at times like this. I don't think that it's nostalgia to say that they were two of the best captains ever. But money can't buy that sort of stuff, so I suppose that you're right :/

I reckon Giroud will find his own, and as you pointed out its early days; you can't judge a player after 3 games.
