Desperate for a striker.
Our recruitment department should hang their heads in shame.

Always going to happen how will this board react? Atrocious defending all the back four been worse than hopeless ,All the good stuff of TP out of the window poor window in attack showing up badly very poor attacking display Very odd substitutions and more favouritism for the totally meritless Walters Can common sense apply or will the loonies be out tonight we should just put it down to experience and hope the training ground sorts it out but looney watch is required Have you actually watched this game? The substitutions have been bang on the money, with the exception of Pieters if it was tactical. I suspect he was injured. Looks like we've lost like we have done on our 5 previous visits but the lads in attendance will have enjoyed the performance more than previous visits. Our defending from set pieces wasn't great last season either and at least we can say we haven't just sat back and waited for the inevitable. Spot on. It's been a strange game for me in as much as we've kind of looked pretty decent for lengthy patches of the game, despite Pietersen, Adam, Wilson, Jones and Walters all having poor games. Ireland looks classy.

Pally looked in good nick too. A few positive signs

Need something in final third. Plenty of possession but no one to pass it too. Makes you wonder why Hughes replaced a striker with a winger.

We simply lack any ability to finish off, defence good, midfield much better but it just won't go in....so frustrating coz we could have done better

It's been a funny match, we've played like Arsenal and Arsenal have played like us. To an extent, this could be a match from 2009 or something but Stoke 3-1 Arsenal with opposite performances. If you get what i mean? I don't.

Dominated this half but quality lacking. And that ain't Hughes fault.
Coates should've splashed some cash.

No Walters in the game versus Norwich for me
I'd like Shea, Palacios, Ireland and Crouch to start though

Mad really - if you go along with the `Arsenal hype even though they are shite its a good performance as they will be top.
For the sake of 3 soft goals and two attackers that don't know where the goal is and it could have been different.

Ireland looks very useful alongside N'Zonzi.
We've let ourselves down with some poor defending today, but plenty of positive signs. Having said that, were fucking desperate for a striker. It's no good having all this possession and knocking the ball around well if we've got nobody to make something happen in the box.

What the fuck was Nzonzi doing marking Mertersacker? Gotta be Ryan or Huth surely? Wilson was marking him for that last goal nzonzi came over to help but was late.... Well that's even worse then and only further highlighted my point

Well played, Ireland, unlucky Hope he starts next week In place of Walters with any luck Sod that, for the worst player on the pitch today hopefully.

Obviously we need a pacey goal scorer with class..but Ireland is playing much better than adam today and palacios looks bright.. Ok day today for me, we looked good on the ball but are missing runs and our set piece marking has been atrocious.

I'm fucking done with Walters. Fucking useless Lousy marking for the first goal. Gave away a stupid free kick and then lousy marking for the 3rd. Never looked like scoring.

We lost, but an OK display at the Emirates, and what a goal! Re. Jon Walters after another scrappy game; enough is enough, MH!
