Only 9 all season. Level with bottom place Villa. Considering the strikers we've got that's pretty incredible.

I think the biggest issue with the creativity comes from deep.
The ball doesn't go from defence to the creative 3 quick enough. That should be Adam's job.
They're then all marked and have no space, the deeper midfielder has to help with one-twos and recycling the ball to manipulate the defence and to open up gaps.
It doesn't help when MBD isn't playing because he spreads the play vertically which automatically creates more space for the creative 3 to play in.
So combine the two, no MBD and no one in the midfield 2 who is linking the play and then you're going to have a pretty impotent side.

Least goals and Butland has made the most saves also in the prem according to Stelling.

We just aren't sharp enough in the final 3rd far to slow and tend to pass back to midfield far too often. Even so when we do get a chance likely hood is its fucked up.

All the hallmarks of a bottom 5 team and a terrible summer where bargains shopping adds no value but the disposals make you weaker now there's a surprise .

I thought we were fucking shit today against shit opposition. We've looked unbalanced all season and we are desperately missing drive in midfield. Far too slow.

It was only a few weeks ago that you were telling us we were doomed. We're now supposedly "bottom 5". A few more weeks and you'll be moaning that we're mid table and haven't moved on to the next level. You've been wrong so many times before you need to give the predicting malarkey up. |

Strange old season mate tbh but our away form is top draw results wise and like davef says we haven't conceded in the last 4 away games which for me i'd have never ever thought we were capable of doing a few weeks back. |

The loss of you know who in midfield remains the single biggest issue we have
When you have two players who can't play much beyond 50 minutes too that cannot help. Nothing's changed for me in terms of my view of the Summer window - namely we spent money where we didn't necessarily need to and failed to address a key area having sold our player of the season

We are Arsenal light. All very pretty but no threat at all.
Walters was the pits today, bojan wasn't much better, Arnie did nowt and shaqiri either won't or can't shoot.
Ricardo Fuller would have a field day in this side.
We were miles better than them yet our goalkeeper was man of match. You work it out because I can't!

I tell oh what lads
We are fucking brilliant creating chance after chance scoring at will out Horne form is magnificent , we have kept all our best players invested huge funds and thank god our CEO has proved his word and we are at the next level our status is already guaranteed and our dinner jnvetmer has taken us way from. WBA , Leicester , Palace West Ham , Everton who all finished below is
Does that feel Better ?
By the way it's utter shit we sold our best player for chips only one summer signing. Has added any value at all to last years Squad and a benign first 11 games have yielded 13 points .including 3 points from Leicester . WBA , Watford , Newcastle ,norwich
We are the lowest scorers in the league our keeper is our best player and we are barely above a point a game with 7 incredibly tough games to come .

Too many of our players want too many touches instead of shifting it quickly. I haven't got a clue what Stephen Ireland has done but at the minute he should be starting. Bojan is way off the pace. Ireland keeps the ball moving. I'm sorry we are way too pedestrian and when Diouf doesn't start are totally devoid of real pace. Question: Why the hell did we sign Joselu?

I think overall though we've looked pretty dreadful all season. Even mid week I don't think we played that well, we were just up against a really poor side and again had Butland to thank for not being 2 down before we scored. The clean sheets are good but I don't think they're down to organisation etc just the goalkeeper being on absolute top form. Which he has had to have been, which is worrying. |

Whelan does a fantastic job as a defensive shield but we are crying out for someone with drive, pace and energy to play alongside him. We have all the pace of a milk float in the middle of the park. |

Isn't that why Bojan is in there,to dictate and link our attacking play ?
