If you mean that passing around in their own half is bossing it then fair enough!
They havent troubled us apart from the set pieces which we should be doing better at. I wonder if we have stopped working on these so much in training. It does look like players arent sure who they are suppposed to pick up. This is where Shawcross is not loud enough for me as a captain, he needs to tell the others who to mark

He had done what is needed when asked. Good to see him getting some crucial challenges in defence too. Hit the post with a cracking volley for our goal, rebound to Cameron to scote Yeh he's done ok for me. Certainly outshine the likes of Walters and Adam Interesting to see that 30 yard ball used a few times. From nonzi to arnie. It has only been successful once and we scored from it. Obviously instructions from MH as he fancies arnie vs sangna

What an absolute Hero that Ramsey is.
3 and a half years ago the bloke's life was in the balance. His funeral was being prepared. But no. Aaron didn't give up, and 3 and a half years later he not only did he have the bravery to shake the hand of his attempted murderer, he even managed to get a goal. Brought a tear to my eye. It's disgusting how the media completely ignore this poor soul's journey and recovery. I just can't believe it, so proud for him.

I think Wilson is having a mare along with Adam walking he looks knackered! Best play is from Cameron up the rightwing but we've resulted into pullsball. Thing that gets me is set piece goals from them on us.... Ugh.

Hi Musik I see they let you use the internet in that mental institution pictured in your avatar. Is that really how North Stafford Hotel is considered nowadays? Weird.

Hate to say it but sometimes we deserve the criticism in defence, the amount of shirt pulling, mauling and silly fouls from behind is ridiculous. It's cost us 2 goals and both fouls were with the player back to goal in a non dangerous position.
Adam looks a passenger, Jones made a few cracking runs and Adam just took to long and ended up losing it.
An off day so far but I'd much rather have it away at Arsenal than at home against Norwich next week.

Not out of this. Get the ball to Marko a bit more in a bit of space and let him do his stuff.

Is there any radio link for this game? My Internet is too slow - so I can't watch moving pictures today.

Maybe get Ireland on for Adam after about ten mins, and see if that sharpens us up a bit. N'Zonzi needs to be careful with his mouth...should have seen yellow already. Lucky boy.

That Ozil bloke will be totally deluded after this match, he's going to think Arsenal are good and its all our fault

We need to run at Mertesacker, he's 6"6, slow as shite and clumsy, if we run at him he'll either end up being turned inside out or he'll give away a foul in a favourable position.

Commentator sauid Arnie has struggled which i thought was harsh. Thought it was a bit harsh, too. Think he's had a decent game, some nice touches and looks comfortable with the ball, tracked back rally well when needed. Would like to see him get behind the full back a bit more but away at Arsenal is perhaps not the type of game where its going to happen much. N'Zonzi and Cameron both having very good games but Adam needs to come off, he's having an absolute mate and we can't afford to carry him second half. Ireland on for me. Arsenal are definitely the better side but were still in this.

Not an off day for me. We are well in the game and if some of our players actually wake up (namely Walters, KJ and in particular Adam), we can still get something from this game.
We have played well in patches but have been our own worst enemy at times.
Adam for Whelan would be my immediate change.
I think Wilson is doing OK as well. He seems to be near Ozil most of the time and Ozil has done next to nothing so he must be doing something right.

What the fuck was Nzonzi doing marking Mertersacker? Gotta be Ryan or Huth surely?

I really would like to see Pennant come on now.
If Hughes really want to keep Walters on the pitch, then he should get Adam off and move Jon there.

Hoping for an early lift in second half. Feel flat after that second goal.

Wilson needs to up his game. He is not really providing any protection to the back 4 today. In addition he lost his man for the 2nd goal giving him a free header across goal. 10mins earlier he lost the same guy from a similar set piece except Pieters blocked the resulting header with Bego beaten.
Come on Wils old son, you can do better than this.

Shadow of Pulis is upon us, we expect everyone to track back, challenge everything, run continuously, thats not happening but on the plus side we are beginning to know where the goal is, we just need our players to go for it and have the confidence to score
