Football : Season 2012/2013

[Arthurgray50@blu]

Two points to make, Not only did Chelsea get rid of diver Drogba, they now have two new ones in Hazard and Torres, They should both get Oscars for the dives they have performed recently. Referees have to clamp down on this before you only need to be blown over in the box and you get a penalty.

I give AVB at Tottenham two months before he is fired, he takes off VanDerVart, instead of Defoe, who was walking off waving to the crowd, and puts on Adebayor.
Spurs need at least TWO strikers to give BOTH Abe and Defoe competition.

Daniel Levy will not like the performance so far, yes it might only be the second game, but we have yet to win.

It depends what levy and AVB are wanting.

It looks like they are trying to clear out the old guard, and get new team in, so this year is transition.

But as I never thought they should have got rid of "Harry", what do I know

Arsenal seem afraid to pass the ball into the box..gervinho had opportunity to do just that to Giroud, and just passed sideways

They need to do the one touch football, and be accurate

Arsenal have been poor today so far and really need to get their act together quickly because if they continue like this the top 4 could be out of the question as they lack any cutting and scoring edge.

Gervinho sucks

Only thing in their defense, they have new players. I guess not all players have an immediate impact like hazard

But they should spend the £40m they recently got, and buy a couple of players. Striker and midfielder

What game have you been watching? They have played well, just need to get better finishing.

They play itsy bitsy football up to a point but have hardly created one chance this afternoon.

Gazorla especially has been good.

Yes he has been the only bright spark in a very dull match.

Maybe it is the pace that is wrong...Arsenal seem slow..but just had a spell of quicker pace..and looked better

Playing slow probably suits stoke's football...they seem ponderous (as opposed to ponderosa, bonanza ranch )

Another average result. I am pleased with the way Arsenal are playing, composed, solid, mostly slick. Just need to get the goals at the moment. Still this time last year we lost 8 - 2 and a draw at Stoke isn't a bad result.

I especially think the midfield is encouraging and we're getting back some of the creativity we lost last season. Cazorla looks to be one of the signings of the season already and it's almost criminal we got him for so little. The Ox was good again, I suspect we'll see him more often now and he is shaping up to be one of our best players and one of England's best players. He has the pace, the strength and the technique. Artera carried on where he left off.

Our strikers need to adapt but let's face it, Stoke is not a great team to score against. Podoski was much better than last week and looked dangerous and Giroud showed flashes of what he is capable of. Just need these players to gel.
