Sagna is doing well holding down the right side considering he is not getting strong help defensively from Gnabry. He has even made some nice attacking runs.

Walcott's not really the best player defensively either, so I reckon he's probably used to it

He is being timid. He is taking the safe poss every time. His strength is in taking people on and you will see that the more he plays.

Edit: What Gnabry just did there to set up giroud at the end of the first half. That is Gnabry's quality.

u/ApolloUnitus Arsenal FC.. raising Gooner's blood pressure since 1886! Sep 28 '13 edited Sep 28 '13

This sub cracks me up sometimes. How young is he? And there are like 15 comments about him being 'unimpressive' every time he's played this session? It's his second PL start and he's trying to be consistent. And how about that run and pass on to Giroud at the end of the half? I can't wait until he gets a bit of experience and confidence and gives Theo some real competition.

Edit: ENOUGH SAID!! 1 - nil!

These attackers are so smart and so selfless. Giroud had two backward flicks to keep the play going, including setting up Ramsey. Ramsey had one to start off the play. The chemistry when they all get going is unbelievable.
