if we were stoke or some other long ball team chamakh would score more goals. tell him to stay in the box and fight for headers, i bet u he could do that all day but our pass, tiki taka system doesn't seem to be bringing out the best in him. similar to barca's flirtation with ibrahimovic a few years ago i think cham's time here has not been good for either party

Stick Song and Wilshere in the middle and tell them to man the fuck up and take responsbility. Walcott and Arteta outwide seem like the type who'll do the Hlebisky tracking back and be half-useful going forward. We're left with Van Persie and a scramble for the second striker spot between Park, Gervinho and Arshavin.
I also think the system would be more robust in dealing with injuries/suspensions.
You know it makes sense.
And back on topic: Van Persie has been scoring and scoring very well; I don't see how his talents are wasted? His biggest problem has been injuries. If he can get through 30+ league games () in a season, he's close to a 25 goal striker.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
yes because he didnt spend the whole united match covering for that non-league fraud jenkinson....
This
Nice. I'm stealing that.
(But not to criticise Jenkinson. I quite like Jenkinson. And his perfectly square shaped head).
Non-league fraud, blame the manager who signed a kid from a lower league team and then just stuck him straight in the deep end with a couple incompetent centre backs and a midfield with brittle bone syndrome as company......that sure was some amateur management.
Agreed. This season Theo should get a chance in the middle to see what he can do.
He already performs the same role as Bergy: fucking awesome Dutchman.
"Despair is a narcotic. It lulls the mind into indifference."
well according to some on here hes an upgrade on eboue so i'll be holding him to the same standards if you dont mind.
also if hes the loveable scamp from the lower leagues in out of his depth he should shut hes fookin mouth when experienced internationals like walcott are telling him whats what.

This is the same Walcott who's done next to nothing in 5 years+ of being with us and who's been living on the hype that surrounded him when we signed him as somekinda wonderkid since then too?
Not forgetting the fact he gave away a penalty in that match.
I don't think he's qualified to give advice about defending to be honest, he's never been much cop at it himself, why would anyone take him seriously when it comes to advice about it?
