Should be sued for crimes against football. That was horrific.
That was an incredible game. End to end. Box to box. Well worth watching.
A bit painful to watch. . .Kos was our best player, Gibbs played well
Tbh thought we found Santos's position
Wow, that was like Kerry Katona on breakfast TV when she had too many tablets
When Gibbs is your best and most assertive player in every position of the pitch, you know something's wrong.
RVP straight swap for Holt tbh.
flat, deflated, nonenergetic.. just a couple of words to sum that game up.
first of all, why did ox get taken off for santos? ox wasn't doing much but he's one of our only creative players. when he got taken off and theo go injured we had no creativity whatsoever. we also became extremely narrow which didn't help us as their midfield handled our pressure easily, doubling up on most of our players.
ramsey had one of those days where he'd do one right thing followed by two things wrong, still don't know what to make of him.
i keep referring to it but this is where the weakness of our bench is clear for all to see. imagine having a podolski on the bench to come on and spark some life into these idiots. it seems the season may be tailing off for us at exactly the wrong time; arteta injured, theo probably done his hamstring, rvp knackered and with stoke away coming up next top 4 is by no means guaranteed.
this was the worst chelsea team ive seen us play in a decade, they literally had nothing to offer. yet we still couldnt capitalise on it. not good.

Horrible football, slow, boring, frustrating, careless. Ramsey, Gervinho, Diaby and theo again now his cameo is over. Fucking horrible pointless players.
Could ave done with RvP being on form today but no luck.
Appalling game. Now that RVP's off form no one else is going to step up to the plate. If we missed him for a period we'd probably be in mid-table. It seems we really struggle to create chances as well, our best opportunities seem to come from free-kicks, crosses and other pub team moments, we don't have any creativity anymore. Our passing is so slow these days, there's no one-touch movements, which is why the opposition find it so easy to block us off. I don't think many of these players can actually cope with that style of football, they're simply not good enough.
more like kerry katona on a come down from cocaineQuote:

Basically a very boring,end-of-season game with an incredible amount of mistakes in it for a top of the table clash. Both teams were poor offensively but defended well. Not much more to say.
the reason is he's knackered. simples.Quote:

We missed our chances. RVP had at least one fantastic opportunity from Walcott's free-kick, and then Koscielny hit the bar from a free header. A month ago, both go in. Right now, things aren't happening.
The lack of general quality is also obvious. We miss Arteta and there's no good back-up.
RVP seems to have played every single game for us, and has been off form for a month now (he's lucky the PFA awards were decided early, otherwise he wouldn't be getting it)Quote:

At least Diaby was predictably hilarious. Highlights - losing the ball on the edge of our box and standing there watching play carry on. An amazing through-ball that nearly went for a throw. Late tackle on Essien.
Really? So who would be getting it? Silva I suppose?Quote:

Not entirely predictable, he didn't get injured. So not even a silver lining.Quote:

RVP hasnt been that bad lately -he's just knackered. He's gotta win the two awards - he's been the clear standout player this season.
:haha: hes not even been city's best player this season pull the other won. anything to have a dig at RVP eh?Quote:

He's got 21 goals and 9 assists in 30 EPL games, and he's an extremely energetic player who closes down defenders, runs the channels and is a real fighter. It's also his first season in the Premiership.Quote:

dont question the best manager in the premier league. he knows what he's doing.Quote:

You're just letting your anti Man City bias cloud your judgement. If you've watched him play he guy's been incredibly good on a consistent basis. I admit that he's surrounded by much better players and if RVP was in the City team he'd probably have even better statistics than he does with us.Quote:

But only 42% of opposition players' hands have been shaken, so letting us down there
And RVP has more goals then him whats your point.Quote:

RVP has shown he is the best Stiker in England reardless what stats say.
LOL I'm an Arsenal fan so I wouldn't have an Anti-Arsenal bias would I you mong? I've been posting on GW for over 5 years, it'd be a pretty elaborate disguise to keep up for that long wouldn't it?Quote:

Nope its down to his RVP hate tbh. This is the guy who started the RVP is shit thread. He's probs splaffed in the last few games RVP has not done well so he can gloat.Quote:

Bit of a shocker joker is suddenly picking on RvP though. Who could have seen that coming?Quote:
