Raheem Sterling: Shaken, Not Sterred

[Macho]

He only got one action all game and we were playing deep block.

People shouldn't judge him because of that

Yeah people are a bit too fast and eager. Not that I was expecting much anyways.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

The moment in attack was bad but otherwise looked vocal, experienced and ready to put shift in.

Pointless passing a judgement from this cameo.

Yup and you can tell he only did that because it was his first opportunity to do something in our shirt and just wanted to force it a bit too much

Pointless passing a judgement from this cameo.

Facts. It was literally a 10 minute cameo, if people are being fair then he should get the same amount of time as Kai had to adjust to our system especially as he’s damaged goods too.

The folk that are waffling now were saying the same thing about Timber and Gabriel last week

The level of ball knowledge on here is really questionable these days.

Having said this we shouldn't be getting at him over 1 small cameo, in his first game in an intensive derby. I still think he can do something for us.

 

[DanDare]

He's gonna be like Rice. Doing his pre-season during the season, but he didn't play during the summer break so is even further behind

The aura Wenger created around this club and is still here for everyone to see today.

Arsenal is the top club almost every top player wants to be at unless it's Real Madrid or Barcelona. Even then some players would love to come here when they are done there. Here everyone who has been at another top club finally feels at home. And Arsenal is the club every player regrets leaving.

 

[picsou]

looked knackered after 5 mins lol, but he needs some minutes to get sharp,

 

[El Duderino]

Good game.

Showed a lot more than Martinelli did and you'd argue that Gabi's job should've been easier given the tired legs.

Think he'll be starting soon.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Looked surprisingly lively tonight

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Lively, a bit of pace, intelligent runs and desire. I think he'll be good for us this season.

 

[SA Gunner]

In this hostile environment online?

I’ll ****ing take it. Get in.

 

[Macho]

Only Bolton, but I liked what I saw and he may help us. Kinda nuts Chelsea were willing to let a player such as him go to waste.

 

[Black Noir]

Good to have other option on the left sides, who is not so one footed. It’s only Bolton . But Looked decent on both flanks to be honest.

 

[Riou]

Perfect face on Carragher here...

[Melquiades]

He was obviously very effective today against poor opposition but what I liked most was the compete level - he was running his ass off right up to the point where he was subbed in a 5-1 blowout in a Carabao Cup game, in a situation where most veteran 'star' types cruise through in 3rd gear.

There have been some comments that 'he just doesn't give a **** anymore' and it sure didn't look that way today. Looked like a guy with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove.

 

[Xln]

He's not in shape yet, few more games and I think he'll be ready to contribute for us in the corrupted league.

Yeah funnily enough that was a period where Carragher had not taken his own advice to "leave the football before the football leaves you".

 

[Wright_I_am]

Good game.

Arteta starts Martinelli because it allows him to have an extra defender out there without it being obvious to the public.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Only Bolton, but I liked what I saw and he may help us. Kinda nuts Chelsea were willing to let a player such as him go to waste.

Its still good to batter a team like Bolton, shows the gulf and a nice run out for Sterling and others still getting used to the system. Would rather that than sneaking 2-1 past Watford.

 

[Big Poppa]

I feel the novelty aspect is making people gloss over his frustrating inconsistency - but he grew as the game went on. Still working up to his sharpest level. Will be an asset to the squad.
