    Cannot see the benefit in playing Sterling ahead of Nwaneri ?

    What am I missing here ? Can only think there?s something in his contract that we make additional salary contributions unless he plays for a certain amount of games or some such other horse****.

    Poor performance so far. Absolute shambles.

    Kiwior, the only bright spot. That Nketiah block was top drawer defending.

    Lots of errors all round. Minds are elsewhere I suppose

    Yes, both teams.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Well, that has been coming. So many sloppy mistakes tonight. Really annoying.

    Everyone actually trying their best to avoid injury? Novel, when you see it play out over ninety minutes.

    Was totally bizarre decision, Nwaneri deserved to start ahead of Sterling. Was a decent bet to bring Sterling in at the start of the season on the discounted wage but was evident early on it hadn't worked as anticipated. He has another two years to run on his Chelsea contract!

    Indeed. I wouldn?t like to see this repeated too often. No faster way to p155 off your better younger players than fielding players who are clearly past their sell by date ahead of them.

    Essentially we played the majority of that match with 10 men. He is absolutely atrocious!
