Nothing wrong with that first half performance really, Giroud is far too isolated and means we dont have any real threat but we are controlling the game for the most part.

Diaby has been the weak link, you have to say that.

Both sides content to pass the ball into oblivion, hence cancelling each other out. I've Lost count of the amount of misplaced passes too.

Can see this ending in tedious stalemate.

Very average (by both teams)

Flappy one decent enough save, Ox hit bar twice, wally, Diaby and Giroud anonymous,

maybe the second half picks up a bit, looks like a 0-0 though

You could say (bearing in mind the team we have these days) , that we are doing ok, away at a decent side, But I guess we all remember (and Expect) far far better

Its is only Swansea FFS,

Still hopeful :barscarf:

Players like Diaby and Walcott been here 7 years. We have been trophyless for 8 years. See where I'm going here?

They're synonymous with our barren run and they're stinking the place out in this one.

There's another fella wearing a long rain coat with a problematic zip that's been here during that time too. See where I'm going here?

:D

yep im pleased and surprised about ox, I've been on his back for a while because it was deserved but he is by far our sharpest attacker, theo and giroud, especially theo have been dire.

Lackluster half imo. All of that closing down has evaporated and we have the Arsenal that we would expect to see playing. I don't understand why Rosicky is on the bench. At least he will put in a shift. I would bet that we see Rambo on 70 minutes.

Arsenal only play when the pressure is off - we must win this one so that's why the players are so slack. :roll:

Small positive - Cazorla can put in a dangerous corner. That's about it so far today!

I wish Diaby can get fully fit and gain his confidence back, he truly has potential to be world class #Arsenal #COYG #SCFCvAFC
