Problem with Gnabry is he does exactly that, jump back into the middle rather than actually playing as a winger.
No one got injured as far as I can tell. Bloody fantastic. Onwards and upwards.
i was happy that Podolski got a brace but i really expected Coventry to get battered seven or eight nil, they should have been punished a lot more than 4-0 considering our 11 we had out. It was a game that City probably would ran up a cricket score, i think we arent ruthless enough we get a couple of goals and ease instead of going for the jugular.
Agree with this. All this playing within ourselves stuff IS nonsense. I am fed up with us "taking our foot off the gas" every time we go two goals up. Let's finish poor teams off FFS. It has become a real disease and sooner or later we will come unstuck.Until the last 10 mins we were awful in the second half.
Gnabry was very poor yesterday and I am still not convinced by him . Hope to be proved wrong. Ozil was not exactly trying very hard especially when he pulled out of a tackle late on which nearly cost us a goal. He also missed a sitter. Surely for 40M this guy can shoot straight. Still glad that we have got him but he does need to produce more.
Gibbs was good going forward but he left huge gaps on the left side which a better team would have exploited and punished us. Have to give NB and OX the benefit of the doubt as they were returning from injury but both were poor. Pod showed how vital a good finisher is and glad to see that Santi has found his shooting boots again.
I don't really care about how many goals we score as long as we don't concede any we will win matches.

I got a lot of stick at my local when I called for Walcott to be subbed off after Rosicky's goal against Spurs. You just knew he would get injured, what with his lack of match fitness.

so true, it seems 2-0 to Arsenal is the new 1-0 to Arsenal.
We don't have attacking players to blitz a team
Come one we had the likes of Bendtner up front
I think we took our foot off the gas in the 2nd half and Coventry played better in 2nd half. We should have been 4-0 up at half time because first half we were so dominate and missed a few other good chances.
