A bad opening match for Arsenal?

Arsenal have the opening Premier League match against Sunderland, and the final result is 0-0. The gunners couldnt find a way past a resolute Sunderland defence. I personally think Giroud, Cazolar and Poldoski have a pretty good debut. And you, what do you think about this match?

if you compare with the bad start of Liverpool, maybe Arsene Wenger say his team is lucky

Actually, I would say that it was not such a bad start. But they were definitely missing Van Persie and his finishing touches. Arsenal are not in title hunt this year and neither are Liverpool. Cheers! Ram

I think this match Arsenela just out of luck because of the few chances Arsenal failed to create a winning goal. Though Santi Cazorla and Giroud has been playing well since the beginning of the fight.But the results were not disappointing to open league.

I don't think that it is a bad start. But I should say fans expect something more from Arsenal. Now they have lost their key player Van Persie and let us wait and see how it is going to affect the whole team performance .

I don't think Arsenal had a bad start this season. It's true that they can do better but it's not easy to break through all defence Sunderland. I feel that new signings Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla are Wenger's good investment. We're looking forward to a great Arsenal in coming days.

I do not know if the gunners really got the team spirits to play as a team. For last few seasons they have not really played to their name. It is a big disappointment that they cannot produce anything close to what they had performed in their golden era of footballing history a few years back.

Arsenal has a great coach, Arsene Wenger and they can fight for the title with the great players that still in the club. Those players are for example, Theo Walcott, Gervinho, Lukas Podolski, Andrei Arshavin, Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey, Wilshere, and many others. So, Gunners still have a chance to win the title this year ;)

And you could already see that Van Persie was missing. Actually the build up play was as good as it has always been, but the finishing touch is still missing. Giroud missed a sitter at the end and one more chance which Van Persie of last year would have taken. Cazorla had one good strike to show for his efforts and not much more. Podolsky was mostly off color and was replaced in the second half. Cheers! Ram
