Honestly at half bring on Theo for Alexis. Let the guy get a break. Let Walcott try to prove himself.
Team is playing hard today. Working to win balls in the MF and pressing when the ball is turned over.
His decision making has been pretty poor. He seems too eager to make something happen. He needs to settle down and let the game come to him.
Winning 2-0 on the road at half - and yet there are at least 10 - 15 negative comments in this thread - if not more. Too many of the posters on this board are self entitled children methinks. There is seldom any decent analysis on this board
Not just that. His touch is heavy, he chased down a long ball over his head and he looked confused as hell.
No point of making changes at half time already. That is premature. With 20 / 25 min left, we can bring the subs.
He looks really rusty. It's time for him to step up though. He's had a couple games now. Coquelin playing like he wants to be our #1 next season. Let's get another so we can rest Sanchez and Cazorla.
I'll see you and raise you one. Make the subs at 30 mins to go. Even if the game's tight, surely Rosicky can be useful to provide relief to some "overused" players.
Good first half. Should have scored 2-3 more goals. Everyone has looked pretty good except Wellbeck and Chambers. Wellbeck missed 2 sitters and should have had a couple assists. He just sort of dwells on the ball a lot. Newcastle were starting to get into the game just before half time. Should be an exciting second half.
most definitely play like 0-0 IMO.Our defense has been good. And putting pressure on them has been good as well. Keep the pressure and goals will come.
Agree. They've generated little with current play. But they will be pushing more, so we may be forced to sit back and hit in the counter anyway. Let's put this away early.
