IMO I think that the lack of sharpness in and around the final third yesterday eminates from the fact that we only had one pre-season match with the whole squad involved. The new boys and some of the others didn't go on the tour to the far east and this showed against Sunderland.
It was a strange pre-season in this respect, I think Wenger would have preferred the usual trip to Austria so the squad can play 2-3 games and get match fit, but as usual money talks and we had that to go to Asia.

Lack of sharpness

Pre-season was a total mess, what with the Nigerian tour being cancelled and all that, and the Emirates Cup not taking place because of the Olympics.

I don't think it was sharpness as I thought Giroud made a good run to get into the position for the chance,unfortunately he put it wide but as I have said he will score goal.
With cazorla in the team along with sahin(looking likely) and maybe mvila I don't think creating chances will be a problem
