Shocking from us in the 2nd half
We were scary bad.
Like I said in the match reaction thread. You can't fault them for the heart, everyone bar chamakh played beyond there abilities today, really impressed.
If this is what a team of Arsenal supporters and not mercenaries looks like then I'd gladly suffer more nervy nights.
Well played!
Too right.Quote:
@ladyarse: Not at your best and still winning? It's what pundits have been drooling over United for for years.
This is going to be a long, fucking joyless, season :(
We won.
Three cheers to us.
Hip hip hor....ah fuck it.
chamakh is the worst striker ever at the club. at least jeffers could shoot.
frimpong is raw but is a beast.
song doesnt cover back enough after we attack, leaves the defense and centre midfield exposed.
play theo up front.
Bloody Rubbish, At least we'll have a better team for the 2nd leg, early goal is a must.
Oh and Chamakh should never play for us again,
:unsure:
Hopefully Wilshere and RVP can play in the second leg. Nice to have our first win of the season though.
EDIT: Ignore
Impressed by Gervinho.
Ramsey's about a year away from we're we need him to be, Chamakh was very very very poor and almost cost us the game and Rosicky should never have started, clearly still carrying the groin strain, we're so lacking in squad depth it's insane. But whatever, the 11 or so on the piece didn't drop in intensity for the period they where on the pitch, the rest is really down to wenger to fix this fucking squad.
2 clean sheets out of 2. :scarf:
Ramsey looks impressed with his assist :coffee:
Theo looked good again.
Cant say much about the rest including the subs.
Awful match.
The injuries completely wrecked any rhythm. And Chamakh was just beyond terrible.
Frimpong was impressive when he came on. Quite excited if he starts against Liverpool.
Theo and Gervinho were isolated but did well.
Injuries :doh:.
Awful match. Maybe the next one will be better.
Don't really see what RvP and Jack can do to improve this squad. Our genuine quality is too thin now.
Wenger should be investigated over the Chamakh deal. Obviously he wasn't brought here for footballing reasons.
Shocking performance in the second half. Chamakh was absolutely useless as usual, and if he's our second striker for the rest of the season we're screwed. Koscielny's still capable of brain fart moments as he showed by conceding a freekick at the end. Rosicky worked hard but lacks creativity. Sagna offers next to nothing going forward. Song blows hot and cold. Gibbs and Djourou got injured again, showing we definitely need some defenders, although Wenger doesn't seem interested in strengthening the defence.
All in all, a very lucky win against a modest opposition, nothing to write home about no matter how much ******* spins it.
It's funny, want to take this moment and contrast it with the last time you bitched about playing well and not getting the result, or seeing talking about a bunch of mercenaries or lazy cunts regardless of the talent or experience we had.
The player's on the pitch gave everything today and for that they deserve my respect for the performance.
Kos will cost us a lot of points this season.
This game just shows how weak our squad is in terms of quality. Look at the team we had at the end, with Frimpong, Jenkinson and Chamakh all starting when two of those should be bedded in slowly, while Chamakh is league one standard. However, we must be wrong, because ******* thinks our squad is too large :doh:
Think you're reading too much into it. Some players (well, actually, I can only think of Ramsey) showed they have a good engine and you could clearly see them working hard. Gervinho seems to be a trier too.
Fully agree with you that we should be proud regardless of talent and purely on effort but I don't think the effort was that special today. The midfield weren't working enough to cover the large gaps and they could easily have ran in 2/3 goals if they had some half-decent players. Thought it was a slow-paced, rubbish game but I don't think we're in much danger of going out so happy enough taking the 1-0.
