*~*~* Arsenal v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[PS]

But we're gonna need to buy a striker in January. Broadhead out and Stewart way off the pace recently leaves us searching for goals. We won't get out of this division without goalscorers.

still waiting for any of the pundits to mention Sunderland giving it a good go

or know the names of any our players at all given they must make 2 million a year each to sit and chat about footie and have an entire production team behind them to feed them stats and lines

very murdoch to emphatically say one thing that's blatantly untrue then go 'oh er, actually that whopper won't go by, well yes obvious its not true'

The least you can do is report him right though.

 

[Northern Munkey]

I get the impression Nketiah thinks he's going to be something he never will be.

He won’t be a premier league regular IMO

 

[Rivet Catcher]

Should have put Kimpioka on for Broadhead and kept the system we started with. Mistake by LJ for me. But they were a class above

 

[McGregor]

He never will be. He believes his own hype. But top 6 championship player at best.

And defenders.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

The trolls on this board don't count.just look at the reception the fans gave the team outstanding.

Haters gonna hate.

stewart just isnt that good mate, he's missed close to a dozen sitters this season.

 

[Crispy32]

Won the ball and made the pass to create the goal situation for us...

He did, not disputing the fact, but Neil has to develop, unfortunately training with the players we have and playing in this league is good for a season or two but he will want to push on. Henderson prime example.

 

[SKP130]

Surely you bring him on with more than 10 seconds to play though.

That’s not how he will tell it!

Hume is wank I'm afraid. I have no idea why we chased his signature so hard

 

[redflagflyinghigh]

every time we change shape we go to total shit and hume just isnt fit enough to be dealing with one of the best plyers in the world

 

[woodlebert]

Hume, Gooch, Doyle, Neil, Stewart.

Very unfair imo

 

[Northern Munkey]

Pepe was on fire tonight; the kind of player we can only dream of right now. Wouldn't say no to a cheeky loan bid for Balogun mind.

I think he was kept pretty quiet first half with Cedric causing us the most problems.

It was when he was left 1-1 with Hume that he got going. Didn’t really have to do a lot to have his way with him, Hume standing square on with his legs wide open caused his own problems.

 

[Gene Hunt]

Whatever happened to the media giving good coverage to the underdog? Watching the post match analysis and every single bit has been Arsenal. Obviously would expect the winning team to get the bulk of the coverage but they haven’t even shown our goal.

 

[Jasper]

Need Cirkin back in. A right back. And a centre forward.

 

[TravellingMackem]

He never will be. He believes his own hype. But top 6 championship player at best.

He’ll get passed around the PL basement teams for £40m a go like so many players that we have signed over the years. Never good enough for arsenal I agree, but will live off his cameos at arsenal for years

We had to offer a contract to get compensation. Once nobody else followed up, we’re stuck with him
