Hope you all gooners have been good. I know i have not posted here for a long time. I have been busy. Missed reading posts and talking to you guys.
Watched the game today and i have to say i was impressed with guenduozi. The kid has a future and serious talent. Cech and sokrtatis were decent as was torreira when he came on.
Mustafi. xhaka and Ramsey were shocking. was not surprised Emery took ramsey and xhaka off. i have always said that bellerin, ramsey, xhaka and mustafi were not good enough to start for Arsenal.
Now that kroenke has taken full control, i hope he makes serious investment into the team. It is obvious this team needs a whole load of new players.
Kroenke has to put his money where his mouth is. It is just not good enough to say you have the ambition to win the league and champions league. You must state how you will reach that goal, something kroenke never does. He needs to tell us how he will take us to the promised land.

Hi Punani mate good to hear from you.

I understand your frustration but it's the first game under a new manager. So we all have to be patient as this players are being taught a new playing style. It took Pep and Klopp some years to get the best of their teams. While it may take time we hope it comes quickly. But for a few mistakes we weren't that bad against a team who have played together under the same coach for at least 3 years. We also created some chances we should have finished on another day. I'm sure when we the players do get this new system we will be a team many look at. Cheers.

Hi mate,
I’m not certain the man at the top has the intent needed mate, Liverpool and Chelsea have probably spent more on just goalkeepers that we have on 5 outfield players.
Aside from Torreira, who is a genuine breath of fresh air, I’d say our window was pretty underwhelming. Kroenke really doesn’t have the stomach to achieve anything mate.
1 game in, we don’t look like a top four side, but it takes time. I have no expectations of trophies, challenges or anything that a big club should be doing because Wenger, much as I didn’t like to think it, allowed us not just to stagnate, but go backwards alarmingly.
I hope if nothing else from this first game, that we don’t see Xhaka in the starting 11 for the premier league again this season. He adds absolutely nothing and I mean nothing to our midfield.
We have some great offensive players and will need to rely on them and Torreira to protect our still dodgy defence.
For me it’s get next week out the way and then we have a run of games to try and get settled.

Elneny before Xhaka every time for me, Xhaka must have played 70 + games for us now has he had even 7 good games in those 70?
1 in 10 good games is appalling but I'm genuinely not sure he's even done that, you can't keep playing with 10 hoping he will score a 40 yarder at some point somewhere.
