At least were trying to close them down,although its not quite the barca way.

bad2dabone · 16-01-2013 08:02PM

commentary on espn is so poor.

lovely return pass from giroud - he's a clever player.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 16-01-2013 08:03PM

People were clamouring for Theo to take corners when he got a few assists earlier in the season.

Free kicks I'm not so sure, seems like Santi would be the best bet most of the time.

tayto lover · 16-01-2013 08:06PM

Please don't let it go to extra time. I don't think I could take 2 hours of this sh**. Dire football.

bad2dabone · 16-01-2013 08:07PM

i don't mind him taking corners but he's shocking at free kicks. Cazorla and Pod are hammers with the dead ball. it's appeasement until the contract is signed!

Francie Barrett · 16-01-2013 08:08PM

Feel sorry for Cazorla, he is working hard and trying to press the ball, but his team mates just aren't bothering making the exercise pointless.

I ****ing love Jack.

Sometimes the cries of shoot are actually really annoying. There's no point just whacking the ball into the Swansea defenders.

Soups123 · 16-01-2013 08:14PM

Who is the knob jockey co commentator on ESPN? A*shole

greendom · 16-01-2013 08:15PM

Absolutely no width on the left apart from the occasional foray from Gibbs. Looking very imbalanced going forward

Craig Burley is it? Yeah he's a dope.

greendom · 16-01-2013 08:17PM

First cross from open play and it nearly resulted in something. More please...

It's all we've been doing anyway we might as well have a few of them aimed towards the goal.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 16-01-2013 08:18PM

Bah so close from Vermaelen there, didn't get a proper connection really.

Mickeroo · 16-01-2013 08:18PM

Should be 1-0

greendom · 16-01-2013 08:18PM

Should have been 1 - 0

bad2dabone · 16-01-2013 08:18PM

well we're the better side. a bit more cutting edge please.

Mark Clattenberg is having a good game reffing it.

Shame he's such a racist.

We have a habit of crossing absolutely everything into the box when Giroud's off the pitch, and nothing when hes on it.

Soups123 · 16-01-2013 08:20PM

Poor first half no real appetite from either team, we should be doing better at home to a team like this, yes they are good but we should be dominating and winning

I'm not saying we shouldn't shoot regularly when it opens up. Just stupid shouting shoot whenever a player gets withing 35 yards of the goal.

Francie Barrett · 16-01-2013 08:23PM

Giroud looks like the bottleneck in this team. When he gets the ball, he is just way too slow and ponderous in doing something with it. He doesn't press the defenders or chase down balls (Walcott isn't either in fairness). Bringing Podolski on in the second half seems like the logical substitution.

danlen · 16-01-2013 08:27PM

I'm not sure I can listen to Craig Burley for another 45 mins.

Really???!!!

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 16-01-2013 08:38PM

Close from Theo there. Would it have been a peno for the foul I wonder? City got advantage... and then a penalty and a red card at the weekend.

Pepe LeFrits · 16-01-2013 08:38PM

**** off Burley, 'can't have any complaints' my ****ing hole. Blatent shove just as he's about to shoot, then has to recover and go again from a much tighter angle.

Only question was whether it was inside or outside the area, but Chico should be off for that.

**** refereeing decisions like that only encourage players to dive.

tayto lover · 16-01-2013 08:45PM

Walcott is dire.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 16-01-2013 08:46PM

Jaysus that Mertesacker to TV combo could have been amazing!

dvemail · 16-01-2013 08:47PM

Playin much better now.

TheGunns · 16-01-2013 08:49PM

good game so far, actually enjoying it. So many chances though, Giroud just needs to finish one and he should get more.
