I thought Ox and Coquelin were horrendous, especially in the first half. I like a lot about Ox's game but man, his touch doesn't seem there at the moment. The first half in general was just a train wreck with lots of unpunished mistakes and then one punished; thankfully Gervinho got a decent effort on frame and it went in.
I want Mertesacker to come back into the team and just scream "NEIN!" every time Verm wants to venture forward. Good grief. I watched the game on delay here and I had to restrain myself more than once from just checking the score. That was unnecessarily stressful. Olympiacos came out hard to break down and did well tactically but my word, they were missing half their squad including a lot of important players and we still struggled like hell.
HOWEVA, 3 points for Arsenal so job done!
