The Arsenal way :bow:

Pathetic defending again from santos. Free cross, luckily poor quality.

Vermaelen and his reckless runs forward almost cost us. Idiot player.

Gervinho. :haha:

I personally think man to man works much better as the best and most dangerous players are up against the better defenders, you shouldn't really get the mismatches you can see in zonal marking.

Gervinho accidently wins the ball back! :lol:

Gervinho did the right thing there. Nobody running in, again.

Cross comes in one man in the box. We're going for the draw.

Gervinho did well there.
