We score one goal between those games and that was from a defender in the last minute of Bradford game
Not only is our system so rigid, unsuitable and easy to combat, it depends entirely on a quality centre-forward. Hence how van Persie was able to carry us last year despite the fact that we were dreadful everywhere else on the pitch, whereas this year we are a far stronger team elsewhere with Wilshere and Cazorla and an improved Walcott and Podolski but are performing far worse.
We would never have lost to Bradford had we had a remotely half-decent striker. And today Giroud was arrogant, lazy, clumsy and generally awful. Yet we stay 4-5-1 and put crosses into the box for one player to attack against 6 or 7 defenders???

fucking hell fella that's a bit of knee jerk reac.... oh
Yes, we're all enjoying kjr's musings...in the same way as watching gervinho
Lost for words. Bad a team that we are I never expected to lose this at all. When will that useless French *word censored* fuck off out of our club. I despair!
Would our team get promoted out of the championship if they were in it this season ? Beaten once by lower league opposition in a season can happen but twice ?? To me it shows (a) lack of enough quality players (b) being outsmarted tactically (c) no fcuking motivation in these bunch of wenkers
Is anybody surprised that Wilshere did more in 5 minutes on the wing than everyone else combined for the rest of the game? Or that he's our best crosser of the ball?
