Before I begin, can I just say it was a pleasure to share a Peroni or two with so many people from the site yesterday (Gunner8, Raif, Steve, Odub, Bud, Geoff, Breton Gunner…)! My hangover is a testament to the enjoyment clearly had! I’d stick some pics up, but technical difficulties have prevented me doing so!
It’s a shame things weren’t so enjoyable in the stadium yesterday. Many people had their match day experience ruined yesterday by overly officious prat’s in orange macs. I was harassed by stewards all game for standing up… can I just apologise right now for ruining the match day experience of the pane of glass behind me… oh and the blinds.
Arsenal should wind back the CCTV of the game and check how many Liverpool fans were sitting down during the game. So Arsene, next time you complain about fan contribuition, take a look at what noise police are doing. They are the number one factor in decimating the match day atmosphere… funny how they backed off after your appeal for more noise at the spud game… arresting people for swearing at Howard Web… what a fucking liberty.
The first half was reasonably impressive from Arsenal. The teamed lined up pretty much the only way it could, a midfield of Nasri, Song, Cesc and Denilson. They all grafted in the first half and the opening didn’t take long. Nasri pinged a ball to RvP who controlled the ball with the grace of Thierry, shifted outside and rifled the ball home. A fantastic goal and another glimpse of the precocious talent he possesses.
Liverpool did manage to equalise in horrific fashion… Robbie Keane latched onto a Liverpool volleyed clearance… the ball bounced on the 18 yard box… Keane expertly buried the ball in the top corner. Lets not moan about the flukey finish, that is what he is paid £80k a week to do… lets instead focus on how professional defenders allow themselves to continuously fooled by high balls… lets ask why Almunia wasn’t on the edge of the box ready to claim the ball and take Keane with him… it really was poor on every level. I would be disappointed if my Sunday league team conceded a goal that soft.
Liverpool went close again a couple of times and then the moment we had all feared for sometime… Cesc went in hard on a 50:50 challenge with Alonso, and came out injured. Apparently it could be knee ligament damage, which is a real worry when you consider quite how bad Arsene’s plan B was… Here goes…
- Fab off
- Nasri moves to the right
- Diaby comes on and goes left
- Denilson sits in the middle
Yes, the whole midfield was shuffled around bar Song. Can I just ask what Diaby has to do to get a game in the middle of the park? May I also ask why we put players on the bench with a set position… then when it comes to the crunch, we are too afraid to use them? It’s pretty pointless being there if you have not intention of playing them, right? We’ve all seen what Rambo and co can do given the opportunity… why not give them a chance?
The second half opened and Arsenal’s tempo had diminished. Liverpool played some great football and we spent the opening ten minutes chasing shadows. Then Adebayor went into a challenge to shield the ball, he won it posession fairly… but Howard had other ideas… he blew up, gave a freekick to Liverpool and sent of Adebayor. What a joke…
The window pane and I were fuming. I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but do you think Arsenal football club did bad things to Howard at boarding school? I mean… he really does hate us doesn’t he? Who sends a player off for two pretty innocuous challenges like yesterdays? Adebayor is hardly renowned for dirty challenges is he? That sending off ruined the game for me… and serious questions need to be asked of Web.
If one good thing came of the sending off it was the galvanising affect it had on the crowd. They booed for all the right reasons and for a good twenty minutes… the siege mentality crept onto the pitch and the players upped their work rate. It didn’t really matter though… we didn’t have the right tools on the pitch to make an impact on the game. Liverpool went close a few more times and Almunia made a few crucial saves… and just to cap off a great afternoon… in the 91st minute, Arsene brought on Eboue.
A game changing decision if ever I did see one. Eboue was greeted by a chorus of over the top cheers… I don’t know what is worse, booing or just taking the piss?
The game went out with a whimper and Arsenal were probably pleased to have achieved a point.
Almunia: Made some top saves in the second half and pretty much kept us in it. I thought he could have done better for the first goal. He should have been on the edge of the box ready to claim that or at least head it away. He wimped out, stood rooted to his line… and you know the rest. 6
Clichy: This man is not enjoying his football this year. Playing with people you don’t trust can cause your game to fall away… and that is what is happening. He has gone from being one of the most consistent players in the country, to a being a touch erratic. Don’t get me wrong, he made some great interceptions and tackles… but you feel he is always on the edge of making a mistake. 6.5
JD: He’ll have nightmares over that long ball last night… Keane’s pace was too much for the Big Swiss defender last night and that doesn’t bode well for the Villa game. Other than the error, I thought he played ok. 6.5
Gallas: I thought he played pretty well again. I kind of get the impression he is just chugging along until he gets his move in January. It is quite hard to judge a player when you know he has been humiliated by the club and his heard might not be in it. 7
Sagna: I thought we had a pretty solid game out of the powerful Frenchman. If he was a car, he’d be a VW Golf… reliable, strong and not too fancy. 7
Nasri: He punched a peachy ball into RvP for the goal, but other than that he didn’t really do too much. His lack of pace is clear for all to see, and his ability to hold onto the ball is no where near that of Alex Hleb. He seems to have whatever Reyes had… I don’t think he enjoys being roughed up and I think he is having a difficult time adjusting to the rigours of the game. 6
Song: He had a great game after Adebayor was sent off… he upped his work rate and really pulled his weight for once. Prior to that, he didn’t do anything wrong… which is about all I can say about him? Whatever your opinion on him… the one thing you can’t say about him is he will be a revelation in his position. For me… that is what we need next to Cesc… high energy, aggression, pace and keen to run for the full ninety minutes. 6.5
Cesc: I thought he was having a tidy game until he was crunched. How ironic that for £2million, we may have prevented that injury in the summer! What Arsene does now is a mystery… surely he wont persevere with Diaby, Song, Denilson and Nasri…! Wenger’s dream line up… most Gooners nightmare! 7
RvP: Superb finish with his right foot and a pretty good performance over all. He lead the line well on his own after Ade was sent off and his finish in the first half was superb. Hopefully he can find some consistency in the second half of the season and really show us his worth to the team. 8
Adebayor: I was really impressed with the Togan in the first half. I thought his touch was great and his work rate was much improved. Others in the ground disagreed with me. No way did he deserve to be sent off… now we have to suffer losing him for the Villa game. 7
Subs:
Diaby: I can’t remember him doing anything of worth? Mind you… playing him out wide is like putting Almunia up front and expecting goals. How will he ever impress enough out wide, to get a chance in the middle? 4
Eboue: Woooooo hooooooo! 10
I’m pleased with the team performance. The players on show pulled of the best result possible. However, Liverpool are not title contenders… everyone in the ground knew they were there for the taking… and we cocked it up with some poor defending. This current squad are not good enough to sustain a challenge, now, minus Ade and Cesc… we look like we could be in real trouble against Villa.
Troubling times ahead.
Pat
if Cesc is out for more then 3
Pat
if Cesc is out for more then 3 weeks im blaming you.
Totti out for 2 months. He is like Rosicky when it comes to injuries, so its probably going to be 4 months!
Some say we shouldn’t sign Alonso because he cannot tackle and would be a useless DM.. ask Cesc…
Me too pat Mee too…i have a very bad feeling bout Cesc’s injury he did look like he was in a lot of pain…..
Also i think it will force Wenger’s hand in January….Maybe we can for once change our style of play and get speedy wingers and a CDM
if we’d of bought alonso in the summer we wouldnt be worrying about not having cesc
raif
Thats right its all Pats fault!!!
Pat its your fault!
I could say the obvious now jj..
Pat are you pat or the other Pat living in Swansea.
i posted yesterday that the tabloids and media over here want Wenger. at Real.Ramos has a contract until June and will only be extended if he wins la Liga or the CL
haha avenell
So the news today is that Ade is off,Bedntner is off,Gallas is off anyone i have forgotten.I read Cesc has trouble with the same knee again.more over training.
wenger wont go to another team after us no matter what happens
hes a legacy chaser, hes nearing retirement he wont have time to leave a legacy anywhere else
besides, he doesnt believe in spending more than you earn so that rules any other club out.
especially in spain, the the presidents are elected on things such as transfers, wenger wont do it
weve had him long enough to know what hes like, hes at his last club now regarding management anyway.
Ade for Zlatan swap haha
Zlatans ego is biger then ADE’s and RVP’s combind. i wouldnt take him.
alot of arsenal fans may disagree but i think arsenal devnetly win against villa,if they can keep defending they have been and start finishing alot better they can win,since the chelsea game arsenal have defended alot better and song in my few has the quality he just needs up is effort level. when i look at the way arsenal are defending wright now i doudht wenger will buy defender unless gallas leaves, but i the will buy winger and maybe dm but no more 2 players,but in my few wenger needs winger more than anything else
leon
we would win the league if we defend well and finishing better.
raif
i treuly believe arsenal are not better footballing side than arsenal they are just alot tougher and they defend alot better. arsenals strikers realy have not been good form this season,arsenal so far have scord the least goals out of the so called top 4 and we have conceded more than anyone else bar far
and here i thought we were 3rd top scorers! behind villa and chelsea.
Leon, 2 arsenals?
Leon… The strikers are up on the scoring numbers.. The midfield are letting us down.
Actually, these are the goal amounts:
Chelsea-36
City-31
Arsenal-30
Villa-30
Hull-27
Liverpool-27
manUtd-27
And goals conceded:
Chelsea-7
ManUtd-10
Liverpool-12
Fulham-12
Wigan-20
Villa-20
Arsenal-21
Spurs-23
avenell
its a bit more difficult than just to state the strikers are up on numbers and blame the midfield !
ive been saying this since the off season …
the midfeild are supplying the strikers … thats the game plan , 1 in 8 chances the midfielder has a pop , the rest of the time the passing is directed (fed) to the strikers ..
if wingbacks are supplying crosses into the box for the strikers or the midfeild is feeding the ball to them , its a bit bloody hard for them to score also !
it worked more effectively last season , and the arsenal game plan hasnt changed ..
slick passing into the front men ..
the problem has been no clinical finishing … until RVP !!! thats finishing !!!
ade AGAIN was woeful !
how anonymous does he have to be before people start seeing him as an 80k waste of space ?
i read bollocks like he gives us something different ?! FFS wot does that mean ?
yes i agree , we used to have class , talent and skill in TH14
ade definitely gives us something different
class-less skill-less talent-less !
avenell
i completly disagree if you at the stats out of so called top 4 arsenal have csord the least about goals bar far, and quite few games we have use bretnar and he is bar arsenals werst and most wasteful striker, its team effort and the whole team have not been good enough,yes i will concede that in midfield at times they have played badly but evon on bad day arsenal creat opportunities and you have to covert it. both ade and rvp are top quality players and you cant tell that they been in top form
Ade has 4 yellow cards, so when he gets back and gets another yellow, he’s out for another game.
Clichy has 4 as well
pat
that stat on the amount of goals conceded is what has been killing arsenal and that form could the team dare, and although are scoring goals with talent they have upfront they should be scoring alot more rvp and ade are top quality. arsenal do seam to defnding alot better and will need to keep it up
The scoring/conceding stats are posted at 7:41-7:42.
Straight from the Premier league website
Hey just wondering if we can appeal against ade’s red card
hey it works for John Terry
How many league goals have the midfeld scored this year?
Ethan .. I’m starting to get the feeling you don’t rate ade….
Clutching at red and white straws
A funny thing happened to the team yesterday when Cesc went off; it was if the remaining midfield players went into a large phone box, span around really fast and came out wearing red and white superman capes; enabling them playing better than they have ever played before.
I have been walking around all day asking myself why, because, the most obvious answer that the dismissal of Adebayor galvanised the team into action just didn’t seem adequate – and then it hit me – the last time we witnessed such a surge of improvement from a group of players was after the departure of Thierry Henry. No longer did everything have to go through the great man; players could express themselves with out fear of the belittling effect of those Gallic eyebrows being raised to heaven. And so it was yesterday, the normally mild mannered, much maligned midfielders were released from the constraints of having to go through El Capitano and the change was tangible. Now read the headline.
Leon,
you are blatently ignoring the stats kindly provided by Pat. The stats clearly show that of the “top4″ arsenal are the 2nd top scorers so your argument holds no water…
Also, to say that Ade is a very talented player is far from the truth. He doesnt have the ability to score a goal without the help of the midfield. Of his 30 goals last season the vast majority of them very made by our fantastic midfield doing all the work and Ade claims all the credit by finishing once in a while.
Here’s the midfield goal scorers…
Denilson 2
Song 0
Walcott 1
Fabregas 1
Diaby 0
Nasri 4
Pires used to knock in 15 on his own….
London.. was it no Cesc?.. The crowd noise creating urgency?.. or anger?
I would say a mixture..
I’d say it was mostly anger, much like England-Portugal in the WC.
Does anyone remember Adebayour’s last sending off – Carling Cup final 2007. Accused of punching a Chelsea player – complete fabrication. The referee was Howard Webb and his assistant Darren Cann. Some sort of agenda perhaps ?
Still 0-0 in the Chelsea game. 31st
Finally, ffs, great day for football..
stu
you may not be ade biggest fan but you dont scoe 30 goals in one season by fuke,soory mate he may be very wasteful at times but when he is on song he is top quality player and quaite few of goals last season he created for himself plus he had great partnership with edardo
Terry sent off!!
officials are getting mean
yet i pat i saw it i am so glad
At least he showed some class after the lunge. He went up to Osman and made sure he was okay. Deserved red though.
He’s still a dirty cunt though!
true pat
pat i dont care weather deserved or not i cant stand chelsea
Lampard and Cole next to walk.. ha ha
Deserved red.
I couldn’t complain too much about Ade’s either in retro.
Terry is a scumbag. Just saw it.
Graham Poll is a fucking cunt. Saying its a big decision and sayying the ref was angry and saying that the ref sent off the England captain so its a big decision. SO THE FUCK WHAT!!! Being England captain has fuck all do do with anything he does for chelsea. Graham Poll only ever wants to be in the limelight. I fucking hate him so much!!!!!
That tackle was fucking atrocious to think that ade got the same punishment for one badish foul and one nothing foul
now lets see that away record crumble.. everton are a bunch of wussies though…
it was a right decision, game on
Choy,
wasnt it against the mancs a few years ago that everton went 2-1 up and i think united were down to 10men too. Well didnt everton crumble and united won 4-2.
or maybe it was chelsea and they won 3-2. Whoever it was, Everton still crumbled!!
You think we could get Arteta on loan? He’s pretty good and while Cesc is injured…
Stu, when Neville(phil) scored an own goal?
Pat, think that was it. Not sure tho.
We could never get such a vital player on loan.
Poll is right though, refs are scared to send him off, it wouldnt have happened at the bridge
Leighton Baines screamer to win it for the toffees ( or is that with a Y?)
I think Poll mean that the ref was afriad of the backlash from the crowd if he didnt send Terry off. But Terry does get away with some horrible tackles.
I just woke up to see Lionheart/wanker/crybabybitch Terry got sent off?!!
10 bucks says he has his red card recinded because he will cry lots at the judicary
Hahaha retard Ballack!!
I like this ref. He doesn’t take shit from anyone
everton might nick this
Why the fuck wasnt Alex just sent off?
no stu poll was saying he had to make especially certain it should be a sending off because of the trouble he’d get in with the fa if it wasn’t. The fa are incredibly biased to english players, especially members of the england team, and even more so the england captain, like with terry now, and beckham before
Chelski are on the rack!
ill put 20 down that a chelsea player will dive in the box!!
cech is awesome
so close!!
A, whatever he meant I still hate him. The best referees are the ones that go unnoticed but he just loved being in the limelight.
Deco to dive, he’s portuguese.
Almunia v. Cech
I’d take Cech with 1 arm
Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Fanchise??
Because i think he is just a bit overrated….just a bit!
yeah i agree stu, poll was a complete bellend as a ref, and very pro utd and anti us! Very glad he’s got the balls the say that refs are scared of the way the FA will react if they send off the likes of terry though
THATS BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!
Drogba is a lazy cunt. Won’t even jump for the ball
Granted he is a good keeper, far better than ours but i think he gets a lot more credit than he deserves. Since his Hunt-ing accident he hasnt been as good.
That should have stood. Refs could never have seen that decision properly.
what the ***?
Correct decision though. Pienaar was offside
cech is a cheat
cech has made alot of mistakes ever since his head injury, i’d have friedel or given over cech anyday, though he still does make good saves but over the course of a season they make less
Cech feigned injury there. Noone actually hit him hard.
Almunia wouldn’t do what cech just did
yeah pat, hhe was offside, and either way you can’t kick a ball out of the keepers hands, so close though!!
ManUtd is going to win the league again this year. Chelsea and Pool have been very poor the past month
How is it only 2 minutes? Cech was down for 2 minutes.
pat
yes amunia i think your wrongthere he has put him self on the line several times this season and i cant remember what game it was he had to taken off due to a head injury because he put his body body line and tried get the ball he kicked in the face
Chelseas home form will lose them the season.
Leon, that was the united game.
leon, but do you remember WHY Almunia had to put his body on the line?? Because he failed to catch a simple shot and it slipped out of his hands.
pat so have utd! when was the last time a top 4 team won a game?!
fuck its really tight this season eh?…
A, United have 2 games in hand.
That Terry red card, he did the EXACT same challenge agaisnt us on Sagna and didnt get shit, its a shame they have to leave it that many games b4 they see that Terry is a dirty cunt
I think the travelling will take a toll on utd….
u can kick the ball Pat as long as the keeper doesnt have it close to his body
rob… i think you gotta act hurt a bit.. if you just get up like sagna did.. you ain’t getting any help from the refs…
so 0-0.
A win at Villa and we are looking good again.
choy i bet u truly mean “I hope” not i wish
Doesnt a straight red card usually carry a 3 match suspension?? So shouldnt terry be out for their next 3 games. But seeing he is JT, england and chelsea captain it will probably be either recinded or shortened to 1 game. Being a crybaby he will know that tears are they was to get what you want.
Franchise, Pienaar was offside. I don’t think you can kick the ball if the keeper has both hands on it
nah… stu.. he already had his appeal earlier this season.. i think he is out for three games surely this time around…
i think teams would fancy their chances against ivanovic and alex!!!….
lol rob.. hehehhe
im not saying it was a goal pat but u can definitely kick that ball
yeah pat but utd have been just as bad as everyone else recently too, that’s the point!
franchise if the keeper has the ball in his hands, under control, then it’s a foul, it doesn’t have to be close to his body at all he can be at full stretch. Irrelevant in this case though as it was rightly given offside.
Yeah that is a 3 match suspension for terry stu, should be extended as well but it wont!
stu
in the summer i was calling for s he made some his head but quite frackly he played very well,yes some blunders but he has saved arsenal quite a few times but he is not the best keeper in prem far from it but i would keep him
JT misses the United game??
If we win against Villa and Wenger makes the right choices in January, we’re back in it. Teams are dropping tons of points this year and no one looks champion quality yet.
why is it that blckburn can beat stoke and we cant?
no you can’t franchise, the wording of the rules is “under control” and cech had the ball still in 2 hands under control when it was kicked
I didn’t think Pinnar touched it.. The chelsea defender did O.G. But Pinaar was interfearing..
coz that twat delap was useless
Oh thats fucked, i had both Terry & Ade in my fantasy team! Jesus and Ade was my captain!
terry has been pants recently anyways, cost chelsea alot of goals with horrific mistakes. Hopefully it’ll affect them psychologically though and in terms of organisation and motivation etc
rob
everone once to beat a team like arsenal ,and face it we didnot show up that day,yes there a bit over zerlous with some there tackles but thy did what they had to do
Pat..we still look the weakest though.. actually its our comical defending.. just wish we had a stronger backbone…
join the club rob..he cost me -2 points
Leon,
What are u on about?
Leon,
Not really sure what you said but I certainly wouldnt keep Almunia because there are far better keepers out there. He just isnt good enough for a club like ours.
Rob,
we cant beat stoke because Wenger is possibly the worst tactician in the prem. His way of dealing with their long throws was to play the talles team he could. Hardly a masterstroke in tactics. Whereas Fat Sam focuses on tactics a lot.
If Pienaar wasnt off goal all day it wasnt a foul
If Cesc is out for more than 3 matches, we are in serious trouble. I know that we can buy someone quality in January, but the quesion is if he improve us straight away. I’m really scared about our recent future. No CL football means no quality players in the summer.
Why do goalkeepers cradle the ball A when they are crowded by opposing players in their box? its cos that is the only situation where the are protected from other players intercepting the ball. The other thing they could do if standing up is to stretch their arms in front with the ball in both hands at chin level. Go find out A that wasnt a foul it was offside yes. Lets not argue endlessly and pointlessly about this one.
pat
all the so called top 4 teamsare going to drop points and might me arsenals savera
Hi Stu,
I see Your patience with Wenger is running out, so I’ve got one quetion to You. Is tere any possibility that You will be demanding Wenger’s head?If yes, at what moment?
We NEED to up our work rate for the rest of the season or we won’t be in the top 4. Without Cesc, Wilshere HAS to play. We won’t have ANY creativity out there. Nasri seems to only perform well against top 4 sides for now.
From:
Pires Gilberto Vieira Ljungberg
To:
Rosicky Flamini Cesc Hleb
To:(for Villa)
Denilson Song Nasri Eboue
Possibly to:
Gibbs Coquelin Merida Wilshere
Jesus
Although I really like Coquelin. Out of all our youngsters, Ramsey, Wilshere, SImpson, and Coquelin have impressed me the most.
Giggs told the Wales manager to build his team around Ramsey. Everyone sees this kids talent except for Wenger. If you love your kids so much, PLAY THEM!
looks like arshavin was in london last week….
which, not what-sorry
Choy,
He was sussing out ours n Spuds training Facilities. But who are we kidding? he wont come to us!
ARShavin and ARSenal…. isn’t it destiny?
ok.. i can dream.. what the hell is he going to do at tottenham anyway.. do they even have a training ground?
maciek
i would agree with you if cesc had been in top form but he has been very lackluster ,the fact is fab leads buy doing he is not showter and he realy has not been playing that well,infact at times song and delinson have been playing better than him,the fact is the whole team have not playing well as a team plus diaby and delinson have playing out of position and the fact the team are lacking wingers does not help
Choy, any details?
alrighty Lads off to work for 30 min! & Choy Arshavin isnt 8yrs old….. So w cant forget that. Howeveri have a plan, im gonna send AW a French passport for Arshavin! We will have him 4 sure!
This season is poor in terms of quality. There are no good teams. Reminds me of the early 1980′s. Aston Villa, Ipswich, even Man Utd were competing for the title.
Unfortunately our lack of spending in the last 4 years means we dont have quality to take advantage.
Wenger needs topull some rabbits out of the hat in January sale. At least we are the only team with money to spend. Will Wnger Spend though! A couple of £6-8m tough tacklers will do me.
Maciek .. his wikipedia page for starters… lol
ok here is something from russia..
http://www.times.spb.ru/index.php?action_id=2&story_id=27927
blackburn got completely outplayed by stoke at the start but they got goals against the run of play. They got lucky and are in the honeymoon period. Don’t let the scoreline deceive you, blackburn were comfortably outplayed by stoke, who had more possession and chances. In a few weeks they’d lose to stoke, although that doesn’t mean anything because it’s just because blackburn are crap!
We don’t have the players to fight, and didn’t have the confidence or momentum to outfootball them at the time, they just kicked the crap out of us, whereas other teams are scrappers and foulers too
take care rob
At first, I didn’t want Arshavin. He has improved from last season, a lot. He actually looks much more impressive in the Russian league now than he did before the Euros. He’s a late bloomer.
I’d take him since Rosicky has a never-ending injury.
Maciek, where is that coming from??
pat ramsey isn’t good enough to start for us yet. He will be a great talent, and could come into a team flying playing well with confidence, but not a team stuttering, it’d kill his confidence and he’d be useless. The same with wilshere and merida
Anyone watching Setanta? Good show on, Football Matters.
Leon,
I respect Your opinion, and I tend to agree on Cesc’s form, but who should we played at his position?Ramsey is quality but he is 18, Denislon- I don’t know, Diaby isn’t an option. In ideal world Nasri could play here, but then who would play as winger?So, You can see that we need a winger and a cdm.
pat
wenger has always very protective of his players he would rather gradualy bring them rather throw in the deep end. i would play ramsey because he is very phsycal player so can handle it, but wintshire i think needs a bit more time,couquin i have seen several times i agree he looks the real deal against reserves but aginst the likes top players in prem that a completely different thing, and what we have all seen with the young we have confedence is big them for them,i think if they have realy bad game it might knock them for six and puts there progress wright back
Of the players available I would go for Merida to replace Cesc, but only is Wenger doesnt buy someone to fill in. Merida is the older than Ramsey but has never been given a proper chance until this season and even now he is neing played at left wing.
Merida is a quality CM, so much so that he was voted as a star for the future or something like that after the u-18 or u-19 WC last summer. He needs to get more chances and now is the time because Cesc is out!!!
Coquelin reminds me of Makalele, a LOT
Well Stu, I can see that You are criticizing a lot of his decisions and choices, so I think that it’s only a matter of time when You will be demanding his sacking and his head. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want to be abusive or rude. It was just my guess. But maybe I was wrong.
nah.. he’ll just stick with denilson there in the middle.. we all know that …
its going to be…
eboue denilson song nasri…
and if nasri gets injured.. we have diaby in there..
isn’t that a priceless midfield?
hey guys back again,
JTs a dirty bastard and if he gets that card rescended someones bumming someone at the FA
everton were unlucky, piennar looked bordering and ballack took it out of cechs hands, it was an OG.
on another day that might of been given
wenger needs to pull a finger or two out and sort this team in out jan, he does that and we still got a chance
im watching setanta, well said holloway, well said.
Choy, priceless- worthless more like.
maciek
age has nothing to with it he can clearly handle the presure, he can evon play in dm position,but i would try diaby is very powerful and hold ball up and great dribler but because there are wingers he plays him on the left
we saw the effect cesc not being in the middle against fulham citeh and porto,
poor form or not he gives that middle a certain presence, without him we are fucked. Up the bum. Hard. Dry!!!!!
They took the 2 ade decisions out of context..
On there own they looked bad.. compared to the dippers they were not as bad as there’s….
