"a new record for Jack Rodwell, who becomes the first player in league history not to have won one of the last 35 games he's started."

How bad is that...

 

[Gooner Zig]

Can't say it was overall a great performance, only the last 20 minutes we showed up to finish Sunderland. Before that, we were just toying and we made us very difficult at the end (just like against Swansea).

And btw, Iwobi should be benched as Walcott and Ox are just playing better at the moment. What I don't like about Iwobi is that he never runs between the lines. He always wants the ball to his feet slowing our game. Against open teams, that's not a problem but against defensive teams, he's totally not effective.

Ox playing better than Iwobi? Are you having a laugh - no doubt Ox was better than Iwobi vs Sunderland but that's where it ends.

Guys based on this performance does gibbs bench monreal???

 

[Trilly]

Great interview on Sky. Wenger being humble as usual.

Self praise is for losers (special one).

 

[Mudi]

Ox is ****ing rubbish.

Not saying that Ox is a better footballer but at the moment, he at least is a tread with his runs.

What did Iwobi do today?

 

[Ewarwoowar]

TBH, I find the NBC show much better and interesting than having the Sky Big guns droning on. Souness is the only pundit I rate on there.

Did not like the commentators No2 tho', hated on Sanchez a bit for trying to show the ref the error of His ways!

We could have been 3 or 4 up before Sunderland pen and that us playing at half pace... Also there should have been 1-2 red cards.

Still people voting 'lose' in the forum polls though

Funny how when Coquelin commits a few fouls the commentators say he should be off, didn't hear anything about Pienaar taking players out.

I don't know but was not impressed by Ox. His good cross to Alexis apart, he managed to squander a couple of pretty decent chances, more than once when for goal when he could have gone for a better pass option. Finally his effort and attitude at the start of the penalty play did it to me, that was unacceptable to be so lackadaisical at this level.

His over the top for Özil's meltdown was pretty decent also!

 

[NotAUserName]

For me the Ox/Iwobi debate is all about what each brings to the team. Iwobi's movement w.r.t. to keeping possession, his link-up play and his ability in tight spaces are better than Ox's but we still have Özil and Santi who are quite good at this. Ox on the other hand has that x-factor about him. He and Alexis are the only players who are capable of taking on defenders and beat them and create something out of nothing. His defensive workrate has also been better than Iwobi's. Personally I think that is more important now that Alexis is playing as a striker.

 

[carlito'sway]

Nice compliment from a Chelsea fan....

Funny how when Coquelin commits a few fouls the commentators say he should be off, didn't hear anything about Pienaar taking players out.

In all fairness on my NBC feed they did say he was a lucky boy as he should have been booked at least once before Atkinson yellow carded him.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Ox was ok. What is it? His first start in Premier league this season. Think he should have scored at least once. I think he is on his way up. He is showing a lot of intelligent movement that I didn't see a lot in his game before.

Torn which 3 o'clock to watch:confused_O
