Hmmm....not such a good start by Gunners, was it?

Unfortunately Arsenal will win easily at Emirates. The consequences of lack of qualification would be too immense to bear for goons...

Na hio Super cup came at midnight so watching it was out of the question with this cold...

In real terms, Arsenal have added only one player -Sanchez.All others are replacements :Ospina for Fabianski, Chambers for TV5 and Deb for Sagna. Actually you can argue Sanchez replaced Bendtner while Chambers replaced Djorou too.
Hope Le Boss does some business because that squad has too many central attacking midfielders.

For 90+ minutes, Giroud didnt make a single complete pass nor did he control a single pass to him, that was really wastage of other players in the team, thought we could see Campbell

@Nakujua...I think you probably misunderstood my post, why i meant was that Arsenal do not need to invest in another forward because i think they already have someone who can slot into that position perfectly. The thing is Players such as Mandzukic, Lewandoski and Benzema are a bit similar to Giroud....as target men they don't necessarily fit into Arsenal's system of play.

Arsenal players who are supposed to be wingers operate more like wide playmakers, Giroud only gets occasional crosses from the full-backs. The team usually players intricate passes around the 18-yard box which mostly suits players such as Sanchez, Ramsey, Poldi or even Walcott.

If we had the kawaida wingers who just run and cross then i would support the idea of signing another target man but at the moment almost all our midfielders are playmakers who would rather cut across the pitch and play a killer pass than cross the ball from the flank.

IMO, Giroud should have been replaced by Ox last night because he was ineffective and Sanchez pushed through the middle....
