No offence, Ade, but I hope you get Ebola at the ACN and are quarantined in Africa for the rest of your life.
No offence, DFF, but I do hope you get your money back on your brain transplant. That was one thick gerbil they used.

Took a while to get going, just needed to show more composure and we'd be ahead. Need to concentrate until the whistle but good signs. Eriksen I think is a step too far, and isn't really effective. I would say stick Soldado in front of Adebayor but the latter doesn't seem to be quite at the races. We need some pace, so might be tempted to bring on Lennon for Chadli. Townsend may let the occasion get to him.

So nice to see us play on the counter again, it's been a long time.

Hey dude, it is good and we are getting forward. But I want to see a bit more urgency and pace. Pleased with the game so far though. I think Ade has been a bit below the standard i'd expect of him. Great to see Mason making his claim.

Loving Kaboul playing well.

So this means he can't make a tackle and work hard for the side ? Does it also mean he can't miss the first man from crosses or corners ?

Are you joking? I've seen him supporting Rose on almost every single Arsenal attack during the first half. Yeah, his corners have been poor. All 2 of them..

Cause they're playing him on the left. He should be in the middle with Chadli predominantly on the left
No, there have been several he has had the ball and just easily lost it because he delayed playing it (several options on too). He has also made no effort in defence.

why are people moaning? we've restricted them to half chances and on another day (with better forwards) we could have scored at least 2. Much improved performance from what we've had to endure as of late. We can win this.

I think chadli has been worse than Eriksen but Chadli is a great aerial threat and they are weak in that department

I'll trade Soldado's intelligent play and Lennon's speed for Ade and Eriksen casualness.. height is not much needed so Ade can vacate.. not as if he had been excellent in holding up the play either...

for all Eriksen 'creative' passes we have been craving, Capoue and Mason seemed to put in more key passes forward than he did...

Both teams though are giving a bit too much time on the ball in dangerous areas. We could do with cutting this out, Rose and Kaboul are doing a good job of getting about them when the ball gets into the final third and the others could probably learn from them.
