Spy360:
Personally I wouldn't blame the loss on changes, because those changes were necessary. I think it was down to lack of concentration and loss of focus.

Our game plan obviously was to score early, so we attacked vigorously, but Ox lost it defensively, and Giroud became stupiid, and the game slipped away.

On a good day, with good focus, this same line up will beat DZ anywhere.

Next: Chelsea.

"That said, a loss at S.B would mean nothing. It's not like we have a good record there anyway"

Choi! Wenger has infected Arsenal fans with his failure disease. Failure means nothing again to gunners.

Roland17:
Debo beat me to honest criticisms about Sanchez, he has been not been generous in front of goal this season and maybe because he does not play the CF position or the clout he commands I think he gets a pass, he has not finished a lot of the opportunities, all I want see is some level of efficiency so the pressure of scoring is not burdened on the midfield and it is a gradual process for this roaster and I believe they would get there with some consistency.

Again, we all seem to be waiting until Ozil has a bad night and the bandwagon would descend on him, Ozil has been terrific, many see the assist to Walcott as the highlight of his current season but I challenge them to watch all 5 games we have played this far, he has been the silent engineer orchestrating the final third with a lot of scoring chances that are not converted.

I hope the optimism in the squad continues into Europe and on Saturday against Chelsea which would be a very tricky tie.

There's nothing to say that hasn't been said before over and over again. I think people are just tired of repeating themselves.
Walcott is a good finisher and perhaps the best finisher at our club (minus Alexis). But I still maintain Giroud should be first choice no9.


I'm glad we won today. It's 3 points plus 3 goals. Doesn't remove the fact that our goal/chances ratio is still too low. Positive is that this means we are creating a lot of chances (creating over 10 chances in a PL game is outstanding). Negative is that our strikers need to do better. Theo scored today but should have had 2 to 3 goals. Even Giroud who played less than 20 minutes managed to miss his first chance. A typical Arsenal game and Stoke would have equalised but thank God that didn't happen.

I must say though that I'm happy with our back 6 ie plus Coquelin and Cech. Gabriel is slowly making that CB position his. Per will have to be satisfied with Cup games now.

3 points and 2 goals. Good for me. Champ's league is next.

Spy360:
My dear the second is better because by implication,

Spy360 - 1/3 ie 33%
Spy404 - 1/1 ie 100%

So that if given equal chances, Spy404 will get 90goals out of 90.

Spy 404 is therefore the better finisher. You don't just consider effectiveness, you also look at efficiency.

I have a good support system around me. Initially, my boy used was in a creche close to the office, so we bonded in transit... Then comes the second boy, and it's kind different cos the 1st has started school close to grannies... So logically, they are both dropped off there... While I pick them back on mu way from the office in the evening.
And most importantly, put them to bed by myself... That's like the best time of my entire day...
For domestic.... I have pips that comes to clean over the weekend... Don't have a maid.

For cooking...hubby and I aren't big eaters... So, I don't make dinner usually... However, most of the cooking and family eating together is done over the weekend.

For laundry... Simply got a washing machine...and the rest is history...

However, the bottom-line is that I have a very understanding and supportive hubby... So, I don't feel so stressed out...

Spy360:
I did not say Walcott is better than Aguero, I said by my own rating he is a better 'finisher'. I may be right or wrong, but that is my opinion.
If you check their conversion rates, you would appreciate my view.

Please keep things within context.
Thanks.

sod09:
no he's not...nd yes he can play d position
But he's still better Dan giroud in dat position
Because of his striking rate.....Walcott can convert 8/10 chances
Dats y spy360 said he was d best striker, I would av agree wit him if Walcott has d strength nd height...
Aguero doesn't av height but he got strenght nd eye for goal

Pataki:
What is the meaning of this? I asked you for your opinion, you are posting a news article of 2010. After trawling the internet (googling), this is all you can find?

From the first link you posted, this is what Hansen said:



Apparently, you were too lazy to read the article, you just googled the internet and started posting weblinks. The second weblink you posted from Chris Waddle (2010), who rated Adam Johnson better than Walcott. Seriously?! Where is the so-called Adam Johnson today? Playing for Sunderland. And you expect me to take you serious?

Now try again. Tell me why Walcott should not be called a striker in your own view.

Pataki:
Which are?

Kimoni:
Thank you for kindly taking the time to explain to Pickabeau.
Pick, you get it now?

Balance and equality - do these two words means the same in the home/marriage context? I don't think so.

My simple twisted layman's definition - equality is like sharing everything (finances et al.) in a 50:50 ratio eg we share the bills equally, contribute to projects equally, divide house chores equally etc Trying to find a balance is trying to ensure that whatever part of the job you are taking up, you are not taking up more portion in total than the other party. Everything do not have to be equally divided in arriving at a balanced, unskewed point. This is me thinking aloud oo

Pataki:
Why should Walcott not be called a striker?

debosky:
You're completely missing the point by name-checking again. You're calling names of players, not relaying how many goals they scored nor the league position we finished in.

With Giroud and the current crop we finished 3rd last season and scored a mere 3 goals less than the champions with 71 league goals. If the gap with the current crop to the champions was 3 goals, why are you so confident that the issue is needing more strikers?

How many goals and what league position did your illustrious set above achieve to make you think they were better?

pkasso:
I haven't visited this thread in a while but i hope you folks are pleased with Monsieur Wenger transfer dealings.Bringing in enigmatic 'striker' OwnGoal Escobar has got to be his biggest deal yet.2 goals in 4 games is not bad considering he's got more goals than Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard, Sergio Aguero and Wayne Rooney all put together.All without paying a zero penny.Who knows at this rate he might just end up being Arsenal's highest goalscorer come the end of the season!

Tobiegal:
It depends largely on both parties... No profession is easy...

Hubby and I work in different banks and yea,we have two boys doing very well.

What they both need is to understand and respect each other... Communication is always key, and this can be done with the several means of we have nowadays...bbm, fone calls. Emails and the likes.

Kids would be fine regardless of how you look at them... Not everyone had their moms at their beck and call growing up and have turned out just fine... So why should yours be any different.

At the end of the day... It's their cross to bear... If he's having second thoughts after knowing fully well that what she does... He shd let her be... Men like them would have trust issues...even when they would continue to admire their own female colleagues in the same office.

To each their own jere

I thought this thread is for boys, girls don enter, shoo? We ladies, we dey like to always put our eyes and ears every where. I must say, that is why men can't do without US.

freecocoa:
Yea well, I guess we all have different experiences and that's part of what shapes our views on things, all the encounters I've had with temperamental people, they never put the other person's feelings into consideration before taking actions and that's something I can't deal with, plus being quiet doesn't automatically make one a nice person either because quiet people can be hot tempered too, the only difference is they may not use words to express their anger.

The issue is that while the barker may calm down afterwards, he may say something damaging in a fit of unjustified rage and I as a person, believe what you say matter a lot, so you can't always get angry over every little thing, cussing me out only to later tell me "I was just angry, I didn't mean it" so please keep your emotions in check.

freecocoa:
That's the beauty of our individuality.

I just believe that people who easily get offended aren't really nice people, I mean from my point of view, you have to make room for people's excesses to an extent and if one always reacts to everything done to them, it will ruin a lot of things, especially as the offender may have just made a honest mistake, so it's best not to react immediately till you are certain the action taken is worth the anger.

I'll consider things like, not being big on sharing, bad table manners, bad dress sense, mouth odour, poor hygiene(this one to some level sha), as minor because these things can be changed or managed better/easier than temper can.

Pataki:
Based on what parameters?

Was Henry a natural striker?

Was RVP a natural striker?

Was Dennis Bergkamp a natural striker?

Some of you so-called Arsenal fans sef.

debosky:
I didn't say I believed. . . .I said it could be justified by some [b]dodgy[/b]stats.

debosky:
There you go, so it is possible to make that claim by some measure no?

debosky:
Better finisher, not 'better overall'. Have you even bothered to examine if there's any merit in the statement?

Finishing can be viewed in terms of shots per goal scored. Walcott may be higher than the aforementioned you know.
