It's an alright result. An away goal would've been better. I'm confident over one match at home we will be able to beat Besiktas. Though I wouldn't take away from them, they were the best CL play off opponent since Udinese.
There are numerous factors why we didn't play that well - the pitch being one and it's also pretty early in the season to play 4 games in 12 days. I still think we lack a midfielder and a defender. Chambers has impressed me. I'd have liked to see Campbell upfront at some point yesterday.
People get on Giroud's back after one game can fuck off, the guy played near every game last season, went to the world cup and then back to pre-season. I'll bet you £10 he scores more than Adebayor this season.

tender, saw him in the emirates cup, and he looked woeful, watched him last night and though he hustled and bustled, his touch was loose and the ball bounced off him. Looks like he is still a couple of games/weeks away from being close to effective/fit.
I like him, not sure he's a particularly good fit for the way arsenal play, you seemed more effective with sanchez playing up front and then dropping back into the midfield space to receive the ball and play in midfielders bombing on..

@andyp, @Tenderloin @middleofnowhere, so a nil nil in turkey good result? Ramsay and Sanchez were the best players by far and now Ramsay won't make the return leg. Is giroud going to get any better because he didn't look like he was offering a whole lot, and your midfield looked like it lacked a lot of bite.
Pundits seemed confident you'll get a result at the emirates but I'm not so sure...
