Sydney FC v Arsenal | 11.00 BST

[Gunnerz4life4ever]

In many ways a typical Arsenal game. Score early, dominate for the entire game and eventually seal it late, meanwhile missing a ton of chances.........

Dont worry things are gonna change, we have now have Lacazette

 

[berric]

Noooooooooo I missed the birth of a legend. Had to miss the 2nd half.

But I watched the rise of another legend - Nelson.

 

[junglist57]

Nice gesture with the banner.

We have class.

 

[say yes]

Aren't you the person who doesn't see the point of fried chicken? Case closed.

Roast Chicken = Home shirt.

Fried Chicken = Third shirt.

Can't think of anything good to say about the latter pairing.

Anyone who knows football will know that players make runs not just to score but also to take one or two defenders with them. If Giroud and others didn't make that run, there wouldn't be space in the middle of the box for Laca.
Laca is good, maybe even better than Giroud but we don't need to pull one player down to prove the quality of another. It's a team game

Yeah that's why we wanted to buy clinical finisher. Because Walcott and welbeck need 10 chances to score

 

[AL the gooner]

Didn't EL Neny come on as centre back? Bit harsh to have a go at him to be honest.
Theo and Giroud are definitely surplus to requirements though.

 

[say yes]

Reckon Elneny is next on the hit list once Gabriel and Giroud are gone.

Tragic footballer.

 

[{reed}]

Whens our next game, need more laca.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

Keep Giroud he's very useful in the last 20-30mins of games. Get rid of Walcott asap offers absolutely nothing.

Blasphemous comment, expected better from you.

 

[HairSprayGooners]

@say yes you know what's tragic? Your opinion on our footballers watching them whilst they're completely out of position.

Get back in your box.

Imagine trying to ruin the Laca party.

Here's the goal:

I agree. He was in central defence, not his position. Not really fair to criticise him too much for it. Though he was very bad there, we must never play him there again.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

My motm is Nelson didn't do something wrong he was really impressive

Giroud, if he stays, can play an important part in our season. How many years have we decried Arsenal for not having a decent "plan B" in attack.....no?

 

[Highbury_2006]

Can somebody please explain the formation we had after the 10 substitutions?
