who made the pass to giroud for the goal?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Giroud was the one who made the pass, to Ramsey to knock down. Not sure who made the previous pass.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Santi>Ozil>Giroud>Ramsey>Podolski

Ozil passed to giroud, what a player

To be honest I think the fact that Podolski doesn't really fit into Arsenal's slick passing game is a good thing, it means we have a bit of variety in the squad and players who can suit different situations. I don't think he should be starting the majority of games but don't think we should sell him just because he's not quite at home in our system.

Sell Podolski, he's never involved in the play
*****************************************************
nowadays, shooting does not count as part of the play

Poldi is the only one who shoots. A run of games has helped him.

Podolski strikes the ball so well, rarely misses

That is typical Podolski though, does fack all but slaps in a great finish.

Ramsey is a God. That is all folks.

Foundations of a good team, but we need a lot of players this summer to make it a great one. Especially when you consider squad size and that the likes of Sagna will be off.

I've been saying most of the season that I have been noticing Pod limping and rubbing his ankle. The last 2 or 3 games he hasnt that I have noticed except after a knock. I think we are finally seeing him fit and (with the right players around him) he has 3 goals in 2 games.

Barry Mowles: Podolski should get way more game time than he is getting right now.

===

Why do people keep saying this? He's had plenty of game time when he isn't injured.

Ozil is a fantastic player because he never loses the ball under pressure. So the players trust him and we can then hold up play up in midfield and build. That stops Giroud looking so naff because he doesn't have to hold the ball up and can instead play like an advanced midfield player. Wilshere is also a miss because he does a similar job to Ozil. He rarely gives the ball when he is 100% as well. Thats what we have missed. Without pace we have no counter attack but at least we are slowly starting to control the ball.

Ozil and Wilshere are absolutely essential to that.

We need power in the team

Arsenal go from sht to quality, 2 players in ramsey and ozil make all the difference when we go forward

i reckon top striker, Remy and a strong midfeilder is all we need tbh. Main thing is injuries we need to sort that out as it doesnt matter who we buy if we keep getting them

Wenger said he's going to conduct an investigation into why we get all of the injuries in the summer.

well said although have been a bit reserved about wilshere, also ramsey coming forward is relieving pressure off of giroud!

You will all laugh but if we could just keep diaby fit he is exactly what we need. big strong and good on the ball. Who else in world football is like him? we should splash out big on anyone like this

Before we scored, you could the first touch on our team was awful. First touch invited the challenge and then we lost the ball, we were schooled by Hull even on that front.

A fit Diaby

diaby, aint going to happen can't keep fit ever, you know it.

Agreed, we should have had a penalty
