The most perfectly placed international break of all time.

yes, this time the international break is good. First we can have rest, and 2nd we have some players like Santi and Poldi back after (quote by media) it.

Why? So our players can fly around the world and play extra games?

----

Some of the players out will have a chance to come back, like santi and maybe walcott, I doubt they will get called up

Poor performance from the team really. Yet another game without a clean sheet too which is disappointing and Wenger didn't try to effect the game enough for me, though Rosicky's entry did liven up our urgency at a crucial time in the game. Still think he could have done more to snatch a win.

Exactly, although I dont think pod will make it, hamstring

Edged possession? 56 to 44.

What the eff? We fvckin dominated without the cutting edge. Even then Giroud should have scored one-on-one. Thats if you ignore the obvious blatant pen.

Nonsense portrayal by Sky.

Top of the league with santi pod ox and theo to return

it's not all doom and gloom, it's a good result

Swansea and Southampton beat West Brom but we can't beat them, pathetic.

Ozil Out

Why didn't Gnabry come on ffs.

How was that a good tackle?

Carragher the idiot. Redknapp being honest. It was a pen.

If that was other way round itb be a pen

Jenko didn't pick up his man.

"Swansea and Southampton beat West Brom but we can't beat them, pathetic."
============================================
Southampton also couldn't beat Sunderland at home. Don't be an idiot.

a bit of a deflection wilsheres goal

The long shots was WBA plan. Stop us penetrating and keep is to long pops. We are better in that with Ramsey but without pace we cut open teams that makes space for the cleverness of players like Ozil.

Santi and Walcott will make us very very dangerous. Though bringing on Bendtner at the end was a bit pointless by Wenger. Gnabry would have offered more if he had brought him on instead of Rosicky.

I think the story of the day today was that Clark out-coached Wenger. I'm not using this to beat on Wenger with, but he really didn't set up to counter anything WBA had on offer, had he he'd have defintiely accounted for the pasting they gave us out wide. Instead he went with the same strategy that worked well against Napoli and seemingly expected this to fall into expected things to just fall into place.

A proper wide man was needed in a game like this, in order to, as jenius say, stretch WBA and open pockets for Ozil and others to exploit. Another thing this game brings into harsh light is that Giroud is never going to be good enough as the side's attacking spearhead. He's never going to be a consistent game breaker because he's never going to be good enough. Think what a Suarez, an Ageuro, a Rooney et al could do for us in games like this? Hopefully the hunt is still on for that game-breaking centre forward.

Can't be annoyed at the start at all, but you do think 21 points was there for taking from these first 7 games. 21 points that we managed to get last year in the equivalent fixtures.

Bring on the return of the injured.

Clarkee's done a very good job with west brom

tough side to play these days
