Newcastle 1 Arsenal 2 Match Thread: FT!

youre only as good as your last game

At the moment he can hardly trap the ball or even get a proper shot away. Wenger sees this in training.
-----------------------

He maybe rusty. But he gives you an outlet and forces teams back.

Hit the post after coming against Monaco and immediately the Monaco manger brought on an extra defender to man mark him.

Thats what he did in the West Ham game as well. He already has more goals than a lot of our forwards getting regular games.

!5-20 mins in each game is something wenger can easily give him if it were not for his contract.

We can't have Walcott, Giroud and theo at the same time

I thought that was obvious

We can't have Walcott, Giroud and theo at the same time
------------------------------------------------
Just shows the confusion of some people on here.

15-20 mins in games where it is sewn up, not where every game counts and we are holding on

best form in 2 years and people moan it doesnt work

Walcott creates opportunities in pretty much every game due to his movement.

How often you see Welbeck going through the defense on goal? Just doesn't hsopen

he did a year ago but hes not the same player at the moment

Castor, you don't understand the tactics of the modern game do you. Theo would have been of no use today as per the comments above. I won't repeat them. It would appear your beloved Theo is no longer wanted or needed at Arsenal Football Club. Get over it.

Agree with Garwood here

In most games when we've been hanging on Theo would have been great. The most known was vs West Ham, where we were counter attacking well but Ox and Welbz finishing were poor.

Today though Theo would not have done any difference and in fact could've made it worse cos he would've made runs and we would've looked to have gone over the top, but that would've let to us losing the ball in the end. We weren't even threatening Newcastle 2nd half and couldn't keep hold of the ball and pass simple (Coq struggled). What we needed was to keep the ball better and Rosicky did that well
