Good freekick from Arteta as well. We're on a roll. Feeling real confident about the squad and our chances. A complete reversal of what I was feeling at the start of the season.
Said it before and I'll say it again, Song is the best centre midfielder in the league.
He really is fantastic.
He's got this reputation for being a defensive midfielder. Probably because he's black.
Song and Arteta looks a good partnership for Wilshere to come in alongside. Balance in CM is very important. Arteta's lack of real quality is still likely to compromise him against very good teams, but it's noticeable that he is genuinely good at what he does (even if limited). You don't need to drag out desperate Denilson stats to justify his contribution. It's a nice midfield to have, with no passenger - Song has 10 league assists this season, and many of them were quality curved passes over the top. Can't understate Rosicky's contribution, but he is ageing and Wilshere on last year's form will make things even better and help us against better CMs. Let's hope he isn't dead eh.
The midfield is great ...as long as Ramsey isnt in it. I am struggling to find a reason for continuing with him in his present form. He is slow of mind and body. Is not strong in the tackle. His shooting is poor, so is his awareness and has limited ability to track back. He needs to go on loan. Maybe to Bolton, next season, they seem do do a good job polishing our young ones.Quote:

Even before Song started to get loads of assists, you could see how important he was to our attacking play. He rarely loses possession of the ball, guards it well and makes the right pass. It's not just the final third pass, it's the build up play and he was a key reason why Cesc could roam so far forward. When he was sitting deep, he'd start off the attack with a meaningful pass or shielding the ball, turning his man and then playing the pass off while others are dashing into space. Ramsey can't do that and it's the same problem we had with Denilson. Under pressure, he'll play a dangerous panicked pass or on attacking moves, he picks out the wrong player or makes that needless extra pass.Quote:

I disagree with that and I think people should be looking closely at Ramsey and the sort of decisions he makes. Defence and on attack, he leaves a lot to be desired. As a central midfield player, you have to have to play with intelligence. Certain risks you can't take when passing, your off the ball movement and positioning is crucial and you have to be able to be able to see things faster than most of the other players around you and make quick decisions, weigh up risks...etc. Song doesn't get that much credit for that side of his game and people assume he's just an enforcer type player but he brings a lot more to the table.
Even Arteta, a guy that I don't rate that much, knows how to be efficient with his limitations. He's not the quickest or strongest player in the squad but he defends well. I don't rate his passing game but in most games he covers well and tracks his man, puts them under pressure and can spot the danger. Ramsey runs around like a headless chicken in most games. Luckily, he's still young and can learn. Rosicky should be ahead of him all day and when Wilshere is fit, he should be playing at the head of the triangle. Ramsey isn't suited to playing that role and would probably benefit from playing deeper. Time will tell. I don't want to write him off but I don't want to see him in the starting line up.
Aliaksandr Song is #decent

Poor mans RVP.

Guy in our row, came in 10 minutes late, left 5 minutes before half time, came back 5 minutes in to the 2nd half and left well before half time.
I usually wouldnt notice shit like that but i had to get up for the **** to let him walk past all these times.
Considering i left at full time and got on the train within 10 minutes. No reason to leave early"
:lol:
Well the train does need its driver before it can leave tbf.Quote:

I miss the days of hammering home a Harlem Globetrotterish dominance with a little showboating, of cruising through games and crushing teams from the comfort of 2nd gear. Henry's look away pass still makes me smile.
Right now we're winning, but to do so we must give absolutely everfin.
Bring back piss-taking.
Hmm...it's like white boots. You've got to be exceptional to get away with it. Truth be told, Van Persie is the only one who could've got away with that. If Theo or Ramsey did that, we'd be telling them to stop faffing about and keep the concentration.
You have to have store of goodwill certainly. It's only because people aren't convinced Theo or Ramsey do enough in normal circumstances to afford showboating.Quote:

Thought it was quality when Nani did it to us. The least we deserved for throwing that cup tie tbh.

I don't really understand showboating when it doesn't really give you any advantage. What RVP did or what Nani did - going back towards his own goal doing keepy-ups...put aside any other thoughts...what advantage are you gaining from just rolling the ball normally? But, whatever...hardly the biggest deal in the world. That is still an Eduardo dive.
