Besiktas away

[clockender1]

Offering nothing from midfield. I wouldn't be too disappointed with a draw, score draw especially, as we should roll these over with no drama at home.

like we did with palace ?

[northbank123]

For fucks sake Giroud

[officepest]

Giroud.

Should have started Sanogo

[Yankee_Gooner_Dandee]

Arteta cazorla and Wilshire should be subbed at halftime. Cazorla the worst of the lot.

[OneBardGooner]

Chambers has only made one error - and performance wise is head and shoulders above santi, giroud and wishere.

I think Giroud has been hanging out with the postman too much....

We played like eleven fucking strangers in that game but the return leg of this is Wenger's Holy Grail and he'll get them over the line, it's what he does.

Once that's achieved we'll revert to type.

[Henry is a Gooner]

get wilshire off. OX on.

clearly wenger learnt nothing from Saturday.

let us just hope that Khedira & Cavalho aren't watching these games ahem "tactics".

It's quite clear that Le Prick doesn't fancy the OX as he doesn't do enough tippy tappy, I saw an interview with the Ox's old man who said Le Prick was keen on him running at the opposition

Think Wilshere is doing well myself!

To be honest it's his kind of game - it's frenetic and everyone is charging around like he always does. A cute touch here or there and he is skipping past players.

It's worrying how often Cazorla is popping up in defensive positions.

Gipoo has the touch of a fucking trampoline

Cazorla isn't a left winger at all yet Inspector Clueless insists on playing him there, no wonder he's ineffectual. Remember that chance he had near the start where he cut in from the middle & dragged a shot just wide of the post? That's where he should be playing.

Giroud doing his best Bendtner impersonation. Midfield offering nothing. Sanchez with some nice bursts of pace but literally everyone else is about half a mile behind when he breaks forward so he's gotta try and do everything on his own.

Not a great game. 0-0 is a nervy scoreline if it ends like this, i'd take 1-1 though.

[Jonny_Gooner]

I don't think we've played that badly. Yeah they've had quite a few chances, but I feel we've been quite solid at the back overall, especially considering its a completely new back four from last season.

Santi has been quiet and Giroud isn't looking sharp at all (and highlights why we still need a top drawer striker). The movement from Sanchez and his desire to drive forward has been good, but he's not getting the support from Giroud or Rambo/Jack. Positive stuff from him!

Rambo has been looking sharper than he did against Palace. I'm quite satisfied so far and can see us winning it.

[Dodgyknee71]

Giroud.

Should have started Sanogo

You could dig me grandad up and he'd do better

[Brady's left peg]

If your playing a counter attacking game as I think we are... why is our quickest passer Rosicky and one of our quicker strikers Campbell on the fucking bench? Wenger knows! FFS

Looks like our most midfield runners are trying not to over commit so Sanchez runs, crosses and finds no one in the box. Definitely take nil-nil right now.
