Giroud's haters are eating humble pie at the moment. Him coming on changed everything for the Gunners. No doubt a tale of 2 halves.

Easy there....he was under wraps until the final touch. I wouldn't say he "changed everything" or anything close to that. Everton lost the plot...second game in a row.
As UK said (welcome by the way) Girouds a decent striker. Good poacher. But he cant beat anyone off the dribble and his hold up play is average. Gosl scorer though. but if Arsenal want more than 4th they'll need a new one...and probably a better one.
Good character shown by Arsenal after getting run for 80 minutes. But poor by Everton.

Not what I meant exactly. During the first half Arsenal looked lost around the 18 yard box, almost frightened to get the ball in there. A lot of the passes were on the ground and Everton were never truly threatened by any attack by Arsenal. From the second Giroud stepped on the field the mentality of the other players. They finally started getting the ball in the air, crossing the ball in the box more and started to become more fluid in their passing than they were in the 1st half. Arsenal didn't truly pull back into the game though until Cazorla came on and Joel Campbell made his EPL debut. It's a good result when you remember that Arsenal were coming off a difficult midweek fixture in Turkey, on top of the fact that this was one of those away games that Arsenal were embarrassed in last season.
Unfortunately, it seems Giroud picked up an ankle injury at the end of the game(took a clearance right off his ankle) and if he is gonna end up missing any significant times, it could force a search for another striker to become a much higher priority.

Run right out of the building here...
better team the first half... not within a few yards in the second.

Wow, finally Liverpool have a goal, and it almost wasn't given if not for Goal Line Technology.

well not quite almost... but lovely technology that.. (great save by Hart as well)
On rewatch, the result is more disappointing than anything. the scoreline a bit inflated. Defensive miscues led to the three goals, but the effort wasnt poor overall. Credit to City for taking advantage of poor Liverpool defending in the moments they were napping. the second goal was a beauty. 1st and 3rd were just juvenile mistakes, and hopefully not a sign of things to come.
Marko, Can and Lambert all had nice matches off the bench, with Marko looking especially bright. Moreno is a very good player, just made a bad error (complacency at the Etihad is a hard lesson learned) but got forward and created two very good chances in the 2nd half.
One of those games were a break or two go the other way and its a bit different. But again, City are a class amongst themselves (maybe Chelsea are there), so this is more of a "Liverpool werent TERRIBLE.... but need to be better" post than "we were just unlucky".
Already over it and excited for Spurs and Balo's debut.

they want to replace an injureed striker with a guy who failed his medical?
Arsenal's a bit smarter than that. I can see him going there, but there's something obviously up with him. QPR cant seem to get rid of him fast enough, and noone seems to be sprinting to get him.
Guess Eto'o landed at Everton.
When Rémy was playing for Nice many people compared him with Thierry Henry. I can see where is it is coming from. Physically, he has all of the asset that makes him comparable. And I think Wenger knows how to improve this type of players.Uncle Si":hjzka5qo said:
Otherwise, there is Anthony Martial who Monaco aren't against to sell. Martial is full of talent (better than Lacazette IMO
)
