Match Reaction v Marseille

Well that was a bit shit.

2 awful sides going at it.

Thankfully we come away with a win.

Wenger out :angry:

Great result!

Koscielny was absolutely superb. Almost single-handedly got us that clean sheet.

Damn right. He is after 4 points from Marseilles so clearly he is going for the draw at the Emirates. What a tosser, eh.

:patrice:

Away in Europe. One nil to the Arsenal. George Graham style.

Like 92/93.

Zimm must be extatic.

Good win.

Koscielny was absolutely superb. Almost single-handedly got us that clean sheet.

Arsenal. :bow:

Actually, that's the textbook way to play away in Europe, footballistically, I mean.

:dance:

Garbage game but a win nonetheless.

Professional away performance led by Kos. Deserved result.

Marvellous result.

Koscielny was absolutely superb. Almost single-handedly got us that clean sheet.

Excellent result!

Fully deserved.

Shit game truth be told, Marseille weren't interested. Credit to the boys for plugging away despite nothing going for them, it just takes a second, Gervinho's sloppy touch puts in Rambo and boom! That's all we needed.

Great position now. We shouldn't have any trouble polishing that lot off at home.

Come on you Gunners!

:good:

We are beginning to show bouncebackability.

Positives - we won. Mertesacker was superb again. Koscielny decided to have a good game as well for once in his career and Djourou did well when he came on at RB where hes usually a car wreck.

Negatives - Midfield and attack were fucking shite. No creativity in there whatsoever.

All in all, a cracking result.

However, we would have been pushed to keep a clean sheet, had it not been for Koscielny.

Sshh.

Just enjoy an important win in the context of this group. :good:

Not often we score last minute goals anymore either.

Arsenal. :bow:

Last minute wins. :bow:

Forgotten how that feels.

We've only faced one decent team in that and we lost that. :lol:

Agree with last 2 words though

Unfortunately, this is what we'll have to expect from us for the rest of the season. Gone are the days of creative, free flowing football.

You predicted a 2-1 defeat, we won, surely just once you can be a little bit happy?

I wish i could get my 2 hours back! A truly terrible game of football. Oh and how any coach could have left gervinho, one of the stars of ligue1, on the bench for so long while walcot was busy stinking up the place, should go down as a war crime. Awful, and even us winning doesn't make me feel any better.

I was just moaning at the TV how we always get done in the last minute, and never get the elation ourselves anymore.

And then boom!! :lol:

Moaners :pal:

Of course he's happy (if he's an Arsenal fan). He's just attention-seeking.

I am happy, but this was a very poor Marseille side (much worse than I expected) and for large parts of the game we didn't look much better. When Wilshere returns to the midfield things will get better, but he'll only come back in December, so we're going to have to rely on Arteta and Rosicky for a few months yet, which is worrying.

Gervinho looked so much better than Theo and Arshavin in just 10 minutes.

Stick a fork in them, they're done.

Also credit where its due to Wenger.

Hes had a shocking 6 years and should be sacked but fair play to him for the sub today.

Sure he made the wrong move taking Theo off for a shiteass like Gervinho but he did also bring Ramsey on who scored

Wenger :bow:

Still should fuck off though

Rosicky is playing better thann he's done in years. Granted he's been injured for years, but still. And I'm not sure why Arteta is getting so much stick. He's no Fabregas, but he's solid enough. Provided we keep Benayoun off the field we'll be fine.

i am over the moon...feels good to do someone else for a change

Well, that's the way to get a result away in the Champion League. Man Utd have perfected that kind of performance in recent years (specifically talking about Europe here). We defended well, which is encouraging.

Good defensive display and a good result. Awful performance from the midfield. Arteta is a passenger player. Disappointing performances across the field but we won. Merts and Kozza were great today.

How can you say Gervinho shouldn't have been bought on? I still have doubts about him but in the short time he was on the pitch he looked 150% more effective than Walcott. I think this marks the beginning of a long spell on the sidelines for LOLcott and Arshavin. Time for Gervinho and Oxlade-Chamberlain to be given a go IMO.
