Early team news: Wilshere rested, Rosicky captain (According to Wayne Veysey)

Good that Wilshere is rested, hope he's on the bench though.

Metskr captain.. lol..
everyone thought that jack will take over Adams as the youngest captain today.. anyway good lineup...
waiting to watch Rosicky in action..

Jenkison starts:

Rosicky finally

Rosicky with a neat dribble, he finds Podolski who lays it off to Giroud on the edge. Excellent left-footed effort from Giroud. 1-0.

Giroud's 12th goal of the season in all competitions. This is his 32nd appearance of the season (20th start).

At one point I thought we screwed up the counter but I couldn't have been more wrong, Giroud .

We need a new depth LB, not like we didnt already know but Santos is useless

And as i say that brighton equalize

Can't say I didn't see that one coming .

santos....but really wtf was szny doing? sometimes this guy is not reliable when we need him most.

We are being outplayed.. We are making them Brightelona.. Too many players out of touch.. Terrible setpiece defending again.. F** our zonal marking.. Everyone watches the ball, happening too often..
Flop of half.. No doubt it is Santos.. That was against United but he is repeating the same against Brighton.. Turned out to be completely useless..
Rosicky is looking out of touch and lacking communication with other players..
We are fortunate to end the half 1-1.. Thanks to a good goal from Giroud who is picking his confidence..

Goooaalll Giiirrooouuud

Oh ffs they equalize straight away

^

Think we need at least a 2 goal margin, we can't seem to defend.

FT: @OfficialBHAFC 2-3 @Arsenal - Giroud (2) & Walcott with the goals in front of a record crowd. #AFC into round 5. Draw tomorrow.

Theo and Giroud

Santos

Not bottling it

What a different team we are with Walcott out there on the pitch. Tying him down was the right decision.

Our whole defense though.
