good result. i dont know what all this pessimism is here, but this is a good point. we kept a clean sheet and got a draw at the home of a fellow title contender. brilliant defensive performance. JT was outstanding. azpi was great. mikel was phenomenol in the first half. but our front 3 bottled it bad. nonetheless 2 points of the top with 1st and 3rd playing in 2 days' time and either one or both of them going to drop points... its a brilliant situation to be in. cech - good performance. great save off giroud in the end. dint have much else to do though. 7/10 iva - got caught a few times in possesion but was good defensively. 7/10 cahill - decent performance. but again he got bullied by giroud in air balls. a lot of times giroud just simply held him off to let ozil, walcott make runs behind him. 7/10 JT- MOTM. no doubt about it. just fabulous. his positioning is out-of-the-world. but i still dont know what happened on the last corner. it seemed he would get his head on the ball but suddenly let it go. 9/10 azpi - really good performance. intercepted the ball plenty of times and dint let walcott's pace be a harm for him. 8/10 mikel - was absolutely phenomenol in the first half hour /forst half. simply bossed the mid but went awol in the 2nd half. 8/10 lamps - good performance. did a nice job on ozil. was physical and showed ozil who is the boss. also got ahead very well. should have scored amd was very unlucky not to. 8/10 rambo - a few sloppy passes aside, he was brilliant. did the bull work to perfection. arteta got owned by him today. 8/10 willian - great workrate, but really poor decision making in the last 3rd again. he took the shot with rambo and torres free at the far post and too a weak shot, and his pass to hazard/rambo in the other 4 on 3 was a nothing pass. 6/10 hazard - pathetic. horrible. lost the ball almost every bloody time it touched him. a couple of times he tried to take 10 arsenal players on, rest of the times he invited sagna to make a tackle rather than take the initiative and simply run at him. he was supposed to be the game-changer today but instead he was the flop of the match for me. 4/10 torres - amazing workrate. wona lot of aerial duels to get others involved. full of running. well thats all their was to say about him. he dint get a sniff cos we dint create. 7/10 subs - schurrle- could not impose himself. arsenal were really on top of us when he came in and we simply dint get any oppurtunities. but he SHOULD be starting games ahead of hazard as a LW. oscar - forst 3 touches, all to the opposition. another rusty performance. after a brilliant start to the season, he has simply been poor to average since his injury and it is hurting us cos the team was made around his workrate. luiz - i honestly thought he was goiung to score. but not to be.

i hope that the team above is a joke. anyways, here goes my whole week.

line-ups???

HILARIO(US)... wow... he has really stolen a living here.

a draw is a satisfying result against arsenal in their bloody home. liverpool who are top of the table were toyed with and lost 2-0 there. like i said... grow up...

LOLOLOLOLOL

atleast its better than saying LOLOLOL... seems idiots can just do that.

A DRAW WILL BE GOOD. GO TO THE PREDICTION THREAD AND LOOK AT HOW MANY OF US THINK THAT WE WOULD LOSE. GET REALISTIC FOR A CHANGE.

how can people not see how bad our STs really are. how can they not see the difference schurrle would make playing upfront.

its hard to show an idiot how stupid he is...

just wanted to show how childish and stupid it sounds...

we dint have any1 close to schurrle's quality to play as false 9 against juve. the only match this season that we have been without a ST on the pitch is against utd and we got a draw which would be a good enough result.

LLOOOLLLLLL!!!! i know... most of us do know that... but this is a match thread where people discuss different possibilities. otherwise there is no point... LOLOLOL also a serious LOL on schurrle being "worse" than any of the 3. LOLOLO

no doubt about it.

we effectively anyways dont play with a target man. torres, ba and etoo are pathetic target men and simply hopeless goal threat. schurrle on the other hand is a wonderfully direct player, great long shots, good movement. i simply cant see what we would be losing by putting schurrle up top compared to those 3.

where was the more??? it was only united away. while playing kdb, no mata. right now schurrle up top gives us 100 times better option than if u keep all 3 of them together.

fortunately the league does not end after 17 games. there will be 21 more games to go after this one. and one point at the emirates would be a good result in the whole scheme of things.

no torres, ba or etoo. schurlle upfront. fast pacy counters

precisely...

cech iva luiz JT azpi lamps rambo MAZACAR schurrle

if we let him go (i cant even imagine that we would be comprehending letting him go). but still "IF" we let him go, with him would go our title hopes. also i cant understand what his problem with mou would be?? would it be that eden feels mou is playing him too much, that he is playing him in literally every game. i mean such nonsensical rumors!!!

right now, i ll take anyone who can play CM/DM... the desperation...

does not any1 feel bad for him. 36 years old, already sacked by chelsea and spurs. his CV would have taken such a hit!!!

the same thing applies to the guy in your avatar!!! he has been doing this for the past 3 years now and probably earning more than ba and etoo combined while also costing us strikers like anelka, DD, sturridge etc...

i dont think he is good enough to start for sunderland right now...
