Gervinho

Vermaelen and Mannone were about to have a fight until Gibbs interrupted them

I think both were affected and had terrible performances as a result

Mannone distribution was shocking the fans were going nuts with him

Vermaelen had a shocker why doesn't the guy just hold back and defend?

Vermaelen at times lost his concentration. He has to work on that.

"Is anymore evidence needed that this guy is becoming a top player"

Doing it for more than 3 weeks would be a start.

Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mannone didn't talk to each other lack of communication/organisation I think there's some sort of beef going on

Vermaelen was making Koscielny look very uncomfortable

And damn I thought Koscielny was off when he made that lunging tackle despite winning the ball

Yep, that could have been a card for Kossy. There is no need for such a tackle in the middle of the park.

Olivier Giroud was class when he came on his movement is top quality just so damn unlucky that shot that hit the GKs head we all thought that was in lol

I

yep I think too that Giroud did well for the few minutes he played. He is a bit unlucky. His shot was deflected by a defender.

Giroud give us plan B and he is useful at set pieces in defence. He needs to get used to our play and hopefully will have a bit of luck in the near future to shut up the doubters.

Gervinho; last 5 shots on target have all been goals

People can bemoan the guy all they like but he is showing clinical finishing (when his shot isn't hitting Row Z, anyway )

I'd love to see Giroud and Gervinho up front. With Podolski, Cazorla, Arteta, Walcott in midfield.

@Gunnerthru and John1
I think Poldi has to shoot MORE!!!
Pfvck... he averages like less than 2 shots per game? WTF??
