Excuse me? Dominated? Kurt, we had about 65% possesion and nearly double the attempts.
Besides, we have 7 players injured and the first day of the season isn't the day when you should impress the most, you should just focus on taking 3 points.
Adebayor was partly unlucky and partly very clumsy today, but hell he creates chances out of nothing. Nasri impressed me to the core, this being his PL debut and all.
Oh, and Eboue needs to go. He had three shots on goal today from about 20 metres out, and all curled AWAY from the goal. All of them.
I agree you should just go for the 3 points, and that's what you got. But West Brom are a Championship quality team who lost their best two players (Phillips & Gera) over the summer, but they had no trouble walking through your midfield. Posession? Yes, you did have tonnes more posession, I never questioned Arsenals ability with the ball, but football is a game of two teams, so you also need to be good when THEY have the ball. And for me, Johan Djouru saved your *** with that clearance off the line. I just wasn't impressed at all.
Adebayor was very poor. When he missed his 5th chance even the Arsenal fans began to boo him, which is a good indicator of how poor he was.
In my opinion, you need a DM of some kind, you can't play with that midfield again. Just look at Spurs today, all these high profiled flair signings, but they played with no DM, and look what happens, they get beat against Boro. (IMG:

http://vdo.me//play.php?vid=180What a screamer by Torres in an awful display by Liverpool.
It was a poor display from Liverpool, but they were unlucky not to be leading earlier. What was Keane doing blocking Torres' certain goal? (IMG:
