But I will take 2.
Not sure he will ever have it so easy to score a hat-trick for the Arsenal. But he was combative and sharp and scored two goals.
He really should have scored 5. Our last no. 14 would have scored all 5 of those chances today. I would so love for him to have a day (or many days) when he gets it all right and does score 4 or 5 or more. Against the scum or any of our other rivals would be even better.Quote:

He was a little unlucky with the shot that hit the inside of the post and went across the goal-line but missed a couple of easy ones.
But he's had a good start, if he plays like this all season I won't complain and he could score 25+ goals.
Agreed. I'll be happy if we get 3 points and 2 Feo goals every game. But it will still be annoying if he could, and should, have had 4 or 5.Quote:

I'm not sure if you can teach or train Theo to be a more clinical finisher at this stage of his career. We have to be happy that he is starting to get into good goal scoring situations and be thankful that he is taking at least some of the chances he is presented withQuote:

How easy did Ozil make his look, though? :cloud9:Quote:

I quite agree. So did people like Johan Cruyff and Dennis Bergkamp. :-(Quote:

Ooh really? Thank you. Next time I'm feeling flush I may invest in the fúck off great pasta boiler/strainer thing.Quote:

Yes. A lovely thing. Mind you, I am somewhat confused as to how what is at the end of the day simply a cooking pot can cost as much as a smartphone or, indeed, a second-hand car. :hehe:Quote:
