Where's my boy @Makingtrax who basically narrated this game incident for incident pre-kick-off (is that grammatically correct)
He is our best playmaker still, don't know what you're on about. Does the things you mentioned better than any of our players at the 10 spot. And we'd certainly have better/more opportunities with him on the pitch today, IMO.
Ramsey did well today, but I can't say I'm happy with his passing, he was never a master at that department. If he improves that area, I'd be delighted with him in the middle.
The best chances are created through turnovers in possession when the opposition aren't set defensively and use of runners in behind full backs where the space is. Liverpool's attacking threat and defensive security increased after they sold Coutinho and replaced him with an aggressive CM. Playmakers like Özil are a luxury not a necessity.
This is why we need a third midfielder instead of a 10 and a proper winger. It will make us more secure defensively and give us more passing options in the half spaces as we transition forwards.
We cannot afford to give away a starting spot to someone for the sake of solely threading through balls and playing one twos.
Cheers bro. Didn’t you agree and say something similar though. And then didn’t @rich90 say it was all ‘bollocks’ and we’d win 6-0.Where's my boy @Makingtrax who basically narrated this game incident for incident pre-kick-off (is that grammatically correct)
Jesus, look how high Bellerin is. Guendouzi and Xhaka were fighting over the same space.

It’ll take a while for Emery to get this team balanced.

Was at the game, good atmosphere I thought.
Overall we were poor, ghendouzi our standout performer. For a kid that's just playing top flight football he is putting a lot of people to shame.
Xhaka was so poor, a real lack of movement and a top cam doesn't help him. Once Torreira settles then xhaka will be gone. Ramsey was all over the place in a bad way, he doesn't have enough quality to be a 10. He also has no interest in tracking back, Özil gets hammered and this guy was walking back. Defense was a joke, our fullbacks playing so high and west ham just ran into their space. Our cb's so exposed by no cover from full backs and midfield. Sokratis bringing the balls out was impressive, guy can move through the gears. Mustafi all over the place, he tries to do everyone job and forgets to do his own. Bellerin and monreal going forward great, looked weak and poorly positioned on Defense.
Up top, pea worked hard but you can see he is still adjusting to the physical side. Mhky didn't have his best game but played some unreal through balls. Iwobi, I praised the guy against Chelsea as he was getting into positions and asking questions. He bottled it every time he had a chance to take a man on.
Subs- laca- again changed our attack for the better. He has to start next game, he is more physical than pea and the link up play looked good. Torreira- can tell he is adjusting to the pace of the game. Quality quality when in position under no pressure, just needs to get up to speed. Welbeck- scored but pretty sure he was aiming for the other corner.
Overall I don't see any improvement so far over Wenger. This will be a hard season and we have to get behind emery. I think he will make major changes in the team over the next few transfer windows. I believe we can finish top 6, if we can beat the teams outside of the big clubs we have a chance.

Rumours doing the rounds that there was a bust up between Emery and Özil. I personally don't think he was sick.What is the case with Özil? I saw the press conference a few hours back & saw that Emery said he was sick which I do believe but does anyone have any inside info on that not being the case or is that 100% true?
I also saw the rumours about a training ground bust up between the 2 after being told he was dropped but its tough to see which one is right considering he was at the ground during the game.Rumours doing the rounds that there was a bust up between Emery and Özil.

inda feel just getting the win was important today. Yes for large periods West Ham were running the game but after the 2nd we seemed to step up a gear.
I think we look better with Torreira on the field, either Xhaka or Guendouzi gotta be dropped for Cardiff.
3 points badly needed. The performance was much the same (not good enough), but hopefully this can get the ball rolling. Serious work needed on that defence which looks just as bad as ever. We're in transition so early in the season I'm just looking for results and some form of progress week to week.
We have a nice run of fixtures so hopefully we can wrack up points, but honestly with today's performance we'll struggle to win even away at Cardiff and Newcastle.
Are you a Chelsea or a Manchester United fan ?He look okay coming fromy ligue 2 to PL is difficult task but handle it well its clear since we bought Torreira that Ramsey Torreira xhaka is our strongest midfield option
