I'd love it to play out like that this season, but we might want to wait 2 or 3 games before passing judgement. I mean, they were playing the best team in the league. It's not like they got spanked by the Spammers.

Man City should have stuffed them really. The only times arsenal really looked dangerous was when Man City gave the ball away after over playing in defence.

It'll be interesting to see how they fair against the next few teams:

Chelsea (A)
W.Ham (H)
Cardiff (A)
Newcastle (A)

Sorry mate, accident


Apologies. That's one of my 'things' - I actually have to check my ratings given every few days cos of my fat fingers and using an iPad.

I'm not bothered if I get a slam rating - I just wish there was a way to explain why it was given, by whoever

I wouldn’t worry about them tbh.

That new guy in midfield looks dodgy as fuck, there’s some talent in there I think but I can’t see him making it. Gave the ball away so much.

All summer their fans have been buoyed with enthusiasm for the new era, and most of the ones I know say they are dead certs for the top 4!.
I think after today and when their Europey League draw pulls out the likes of Dinamo Dustbins and Athletico Kebab the grim reality of how much work really needs to be done might start to sink in. Their defence looks fragile to me and surely Cech can't last much longer, and will have to move over for the new signing.

pop, there goes their hope- what joy. If Dick is gonna persist with playing the ball out from the back there's gonna be a lot of laughs on the way, the kid in midfield may have talent but it will surely take more time than they have patience to cultivate that. Not sure why Ramsey aint signed but that wont help either.

More empty seats are inevitable.

Haha.

I was just coming on to post that Arsenal look like they have signed their very own Sideshow Bob!!

Looks to me as if Ramsey will be off next summer and then who will be left from Wenger’s Arsenal other than the appallingly poor Ozil ?

They need to simmer down a bit, the manager is trying to implement passing from the back and pressing. Thats going to make it a long season with maybe the odd high point similar to our first season under poch when our defending was a shambles.

Ozil though, I think hes lost his passion for football entirely, I think he has lost the desire, I felt it during the world cup, last season and now again the guy just is not the same person he used to be and I think this is just a money maker to him now. Wont be surprised if he ends up at fenerbeche soon.

Early days indeed but whilst we know that the defensive side of their game needs serious work it looked to me that their offensive game is suffering, they were bad going forward unlike Arsenal under Wenger at least they had movement and transitions.
