As for the game itself, I agree completeley that it was last season all over again. Could have been 4-0 up, but we’re 1-0 down. Frustration being a huge understatement. I am happy we showed the same resolve as we did during pre-season, but I would prefer us not having to show it at all. We were not ruthless enough in front of the net. AW said we created more chances last year than we did during the Invincibles season. Difference is we finished them during our famous season. Last year we didnt, hence Eduardo. If we can finish and defend as a team(and no more Jens gifts..) then we should be challenging for the Prem. If we dont….

Cesc is only 50% of his normal standard.

Gallas and Toure left too many gaps.

Rosicky does some good things and at the end shoots wide or passes inefctively.

Walcott has just slid backwards.

RVP needs help up front and he can get moody very easily.

Sagna and Clichy are good.

Ebuoe could still make it on the right.

Hleb has improved in his new role.

Flamini is a good squad player but lacks some of Gilbertos skills.

Bednter is improving all the time and should always come off the bench and start in hard away games.

We have a very high loss of players through training injuries, Sam Allardyce at Bolton had specialised medical staff, and he reduced lost player time to a bare minmum. Are we doing womething wrong in training?

We need a winger, and a stronger squad

but after seeing the opening game, i have changed my mind

i know its only early days, but i just cant see them doing it
