Also, I thought traore did quite well. Could have offered a little more going forward, apart from some early runs, but looked strong and kept his concentration defensively which was his main problem before I think. Not as good as gibbs currently but much improved imho.

I agree wenger got it wrong tactically today and brought on vela and walcott a little too late. I would have preferred to start with either vela or arshavin wide left, or even switched to 4-4-2 to get some support for eduardo – he really had nothing to go on for most of the game. He played ramsey further forward than cesc seemingly which didnt make much sense to me given the form fabregas has been in, and the fact ramsey has such a good engine..
To be fair to our manager, he’s been spot on in every match this season so far. We’ve deserved to win every game till today (this is the 1st result I really cant blame on the ref).
The international break always seems to mess us up somehow. It came just when we were in full flow, and now we have to rebuild again.

how can you people say that the boss got the team selections wrong sagna played for france full 90 minutes with extra time along side gallas, cesc played a full game away, so did arshavin away to slovenia, eduardo also played, so most of our experienced players played difficult international games so obviously it will be a difficult game especially away to a tricky game aswell.

if you think about almunia, sagna, gallas, vermalen, traore, song, cesc, ramsey, nasri, rosicky, eduardo is a very good strong team with incredible attacking players HOW CAN A TEAM LIKE THIS BE A WRONG TEAM WITH ROBIN AND NIKLAS OUT), just lacked that sharpness in around the box, the final deliveries. Had this game been at home we would’ve won it united, chelsea, liverpool all at home, we’re away to difficult sunderland, am i disappointed YES, standard liege in the champions league and chelsea next sunday at home ARE MUST WIN GAMES NO IF’S NO BUTS! NO LESS THAN 3 POINTS POINTS COME ON YOU GOONERS! KEEP THE FAITH!

Good point John about starting the game with one up front and leaving three natural forwards on the bench

I don’t think that I am that negative. This Arsenal team does have the quality to compete for the title. What it is missing is that little bit of experience . Players who have been through these events before and can help the younger players. This is what Man Utd have done with Giggs and Scholes. Arsenal are missing that bit of institutional experience
