As Macca said, too much shouldn't be put into this result. They may have got a result but compare this match to Tuesday's. Today I thought Arsenal were able to handle Liverpool while we were absolutely terrorized by Udinese the other night, which is the kind of display you'd except from a contender. That is why I mentioned in the Arsenal thread that I thought even a full strength Arsenal squad would have struggled to avoid defeat today.

They say he's being prepared for a striking role but I just can't see what he brings other than speed. Unless he's running at goal he can't do much and, to be honest, if you want to stop him all you have to do is stay in front of him. Forget Suarez's ability to make dazzling runs, I'd be happy if Theo was only able to hold off defenders as well as the Uruguayan. I'm trying to give the lad time but it seems like he's only taking more rope with which to hang himself.
