They lacked the finishing touch.

Yeah, no credit taken from Sunderland though, they were really organized at the back and always had an answer to Arsenal's attacks. The only real goal that should have been was Giroud's. Cazorla played like a god. Podolski kept on dropping too deep when he needed to be higher up, and was too high up when he needed to drop a little deeper. I like Giroud's play too, he's a good target man.
Arsenal moved the ball up well, but couldn't break Sunderland's defense.

Cazorla is such a beast, this Spanish generation is so godly. Cazrola, Silva, Mata in the EPL.

It will be Germany's time in this coming generation.

Looks like Song is on his way to Barca.

Nathan Dyer should be included in the next England friendly (Sweden in November).

Well for me the Contenders don't play till tomorrow but I don't think Liverpool will get into the top 4 this year and Arsenal aren't good enough to challenge yet.

Arsenal just need more time to settle as a team.

I agree Dope, I was switching between that game and the Arsenal one, he played great.

They do but i have some doubts about them, especially defensively and who is going to get them goals? Giroud doesn't look confident. Podolski is not a striker.

There are some great players at Swansea and they have a manager who was a world class player in his day. I think Sinclair, Routledge and Dyer should be included in the Sweden friendly. I don't think Hodgson will experiment with players during the World Cup qualifying games.
