Please. If it fails, then back to Giroud. Walcott wasn't like a revelation in CF, but who knows, maybe the pace up front will be too much to handle.
Good morning everyone. It's freezing cold here in WV. It was tough rolling out of a warm bed this morning. Hope all goes well, 3-1 to the Arsenal.
After they defeated Reading five days ago, I'm hoping Arsenal duplicates the positive performance against Wigan Athletic today.
same team as reading. wigan are missing at least 3 starters through injury. we *should* win this. sol campbell gave a good interview, basically saying that while and because the squad overall isn't good enough (paraphrasing) "if they play to their max every game, their max becomes the norm" and they can then go on to win trophies.
I've only been watching since the 16 minute mark, but Wigan looking very lively and outplaying us in the middle third. They've been shockingly wasteful in the final third. Hopefully we're absorbing their best and will come out in the 2nd half to take the game. Because right now, it's all up in the air...
Arsenal's performance in the 1st half was a disappointment. And its the same starting lineup from the previous round against Reading.
C'mon boys! I want at least TWO early in the second half ( I know better than to trust us to hold a 1 goal Lead ). I also want a 5 series BMW for Christmas......what are the chances either of those is going to happen????
First half was poor. Cazorla's been way off, and Ox and Podolski don't look much better. Only player that's been good is JFW. The attack looks dysfunctional when Arteta gets pressed, and this has been the case for two months - we need to figure that out.
