Wenger on now.
Fucking commentator - asking Wenger if we need a DM after that performance.
Neville :haha:
Pace. :haha:
Power. :haha:
Giroud for England!Quote:
Since he arrived in the Premier League at the start of the 2012-13 season, Olivier Giroud has scored 11 headed goals, two more than anyone else.
Yeah Coq is starting to make a real claim for a regular spot in the starting XI, today he was immense, he was very good last week against Stoke too. It's still early days but his emergence is very similar to Flams in his first spell here.Quote:

Edited to add: These are Coq's stats today...
Francis Coquelin vs MCFC: 100% tackle success, 88% aerial duels, 6 interceptions, 11 clearances, 87% passing
Wenger in his post match intv on Sky seemed to suggest that we'll be sticking with Coquelin for the time being
Kompany fantastic defender. :lol:
No Neville, he will make the same mistakes.
Great performance by the lads. Wenger needs to show some bottle and keep Ozil on the bench for the time being. Santi must not be repositioned just to accommodate him. Love Ozil but he needs to step up.
Nice bloke Pelligrini moaning it wasn't a pen. And he need more playa.
Because it's way too early and premature to even hint at him being the solution.Quote:

And apart from Man City today most of the teams he's started against haven't been that great or that challenging. I also think he's way too short for the role as well ........ we haven't had a DM since Gilberto who could comfortably head the ball away which means that long balls always have to be dealt with by the CB's. This results in us always struggling with aerial attacks as either the BFG or Kos have to go and attack the ball leaving gaps for the opposition to exploit. His passing isn't fantastic either.
Yes congratulations to Coq for his excellent recent performances and he deserves to start for the time being but ultimately he doesn't have the right pedigree or quality to be starting week in week out for a team with aspirations to challenge for the league. We did the same thing Almunia; he had a few good games and everyone thought he was the solution and then we ended up wasting 3 seasons with him as number one before everyone finally realised he wasn't good enough. Top top quality please.
Nice Man Pellegrini. :lol:
He has long since left the building.
Accuses Monreal of diving then says he doesn't want to talk about the penalty. :doh:
Happy to see people finally recognising Coquelin talent . Since he came he has never had a floppy game with us . Even when we got mugged 8-2 at Old Trafford he was one of the best players on the pitch .Quote:

Yeah I don't think Ozil has even touched the level Cazorla has been playing at recently for us.Quote:

So the Alexis effect has struck Santi and now we have two players covering every blade of grass. Ox getting there too.
Up the Goonies! Awesome stuff. Bottle that shizzle.
Sky has gone from rubbing themselves up and down against the gypos to wondering if they are finished and don't have the ambition.
Frustration of a bad loser . Sadly his personal opinion will not change anything . A big mountain for him to climb but I'am not happy it's Chelsea at the top of that mountain .Quote:

BBC live text today is a diary of condescension, patronisation, ignorance, disappointment and bitterness. Mostly from the cretinous Chelsea fanturd that is Pat Nevin.

Wenget thinks Coquelin is 24.

Selassie , my friend , would you bench Coquelin with such performance and buy another DM ? What does Francis have to do to convince you he can be the man ?
If you sign a new DM , he will need time at least 2 years to get used the the EPL . By that time , Coquelin would has been a top DM . Why not sign a DM to help the Coqu out but keep him on the pitch for his progress . The Coq is not a big name but he is doing more that the so called big names .
Can you see that ?
A surprise, but hardly an unwelcome one :scarf:
How many mistakes does Kompany have to make before pundits realise he makes a fuck load of mistakes?Quote:

The answer is never.
Because they are utter fuckwits.
I get weird looks at work when I suggest that Koscielny is better than Kompany.
Why do you work there?Quote:

Look at Santi as an example, he knows he has his work cut out with Ozil & Ramsey now back, but look at his current performance level, he along with Sanchez is the first name on the teamsheet. Ozil has his work cut out getting back in the team.
Fair play to AW he got it right today, I hope he enjoyed it cos I certainly did
Nothing more to say

Sagna's heat map :haha:
[QUOTE=selassie;441029]Totally agree with you , Selassie . We should sign another experienced DM . Even an injury-prone Kedhira will do for me but we shouldn't neglect our own product when they give 100% top performance simply because they are not big names yet .Quote:

Coquelin is just like Flamini at his prime . He shouldn't fuck it up as we did last time .
Give him time and confidence and he will grow into a top player . He will have some bad days like any other player as we saw Aguero today . But he fully deserves his chances . I wouldn't complain if he becomes our main DM . He has shown he can play against small teams , dirty teams and big teams . He has 100% of my vote for that position .
Santi is in great form for us and is playing the best football of his Arsenal career. The way he skips past challenges and gets out of tight situations is just a joy and the most pleasing thing is he is getting goals and assists. I just hope wenger doesnt move him outwide to accomodate Ozil because we look dangerous with him through the middle.
2 clean sheets in a row now, something to build on.
