Arteta can't run the midfield. He's not suited to our style of play. Panic buy for sure.

It's okay, because we have Frimpong who can play there you know.Quote:

the system he is playing in and he is now a big fish in a big pond where the pressure is so much. If he came to the club with our best players still here he'd look betterQuote:

Under no circumstance should we be losing to Spurs when we have the lions share of possession. In fact, scratch that we should not be losing to Spurs whatsoever!
Bunch of prats, this lot.
Oh dear god.Quote:
"I felt we played a little bit with the handbrake on"
Might explain why we didn't get a tonking. Doesn't sound like he sees that as a positive though.Quote:

Our midfield is so horrible this season it's actually quite disturbing.
Yeah I know. This is the kind of game you want the 'handbrake on' though as he put it. Usually he says it for games that you can afford to have it off.Quote:

Gervinho (and here we go again) needs to be given more time but he's displaying all the hallmarks of another nearly player who nobody else wanted hence he's playing for us. Oxo is already better than both of them by a margin. I don't see Walcott doing anything but he'll grab a few more seasons based on the hope his potential is realised, the he'll fade out like a Pennant or Bentley. Gervinho and Oxo might be able to strike up an understanding on the pitch though. Even though Gervinho isn't much use when he has the ball he seems more likely to be able to make intelligent runs that could open things up for capable players. We won't be seeing them best of any of them though, morale and belief is in the toilet.Quote:

tbf to the lad he thought he was coming to a much better sqaud then this, lets be real he was not bought for his fininshing all his end product. its clear he may be having second thoughts about being here like RVP. We have no chance of getting big signs in jan tbh who'd want to come to this club tbh.Quote:

Oh well. On we go to next week
We know what we get with Walcott and increasingly we're seeing the same sort of result with Gervinho. They look bloody clueless when trying to beat their man. Get Oxo in now to capitalise on his good form, give the other two something to compete with. Not that I think there'll be much competition because Oxo is already on another level, but we'd only be able to see that if the kid plays. Not even on the bench today, a joke. What did Benayoun offer? Arshavin? Even on the strength that spud defenders would be facing something unknown he should have played. Maybe the board are angry about their next payday being out for 22 weeks and don't want the same mistakes made again.Quote:

I't's now just tedious like-for-like drivel regardless of the game situation.
We ended the game with a more defensive side than at any point. When 4 of your front 6 are Coquelin, Ramsey, Benayoun & Arteta it's a hopeless task.
Walcott & Gervinho were poor again & ordinarily deserving of coming off but Arshavin (and/or Park) should've been on for one or both of Coquelin & Ramsey, or even a full-back.
Yet what did we have? Mertesacker & Szezeny up front trying to claw a draw.
It's incredible that some would rather see the team in the shitter with zero quality players YET THIS FUCKING BOARD STILL IN PLACE, rather than kick the fucking board out and get someone in who would invest the resources that might convince players like RvP to stay. We've lost enough players on this train, shop-window and flog policy, time for the culprits to walk.Quote:

FFS, Well it would not be us if we never had more Blows tbh. when it rains it really does pour for us.Quote:

The board are sticking by their man and that is more worrying then anything on the pitch tbh. if they are happy to be failures then we should be worried. To them we will finish in the top 8 its still sucess to them as were making moneyQuote:

It's negligence although I'm sure the club will spin it as bad luck.Quote:

He's already good enough for the mid-table level we play at, he'll get better too and we'll get big money for him in 3-4 years.Quote:

Seriously though til i see it myself, im not going to critisise Chesney. Hes done well overall. Still would like a better keeper but the same could be said for the 10 other positions
These transfer buys we made this season is really gonna fukk things up. We got a a bunch of players who are not good enough, that are probably gonna be at this club for another couple of seasons.
lets be real we were never winning the league or getting top 4 the board and the manager knew that and brought what they thought would see us in top 5-8. Only thing thats worked against them is the Big Players hate this and don't want to be here.Quote:
