Match Reaction vs QPR

[Power n Glory]

Ah but the difference is, that Arteta does the graft as well....although, given that he fucked up on Saturday, it's a bit difficult to defend his corner!

However, they are right. He is what we hoped Denilson would be.

I agree Song and Rosicky are more incisive, but I guess what I'm getting at, is that they need to be given the ball.

We're probably not going to agree, but I see Arteta as the one who seems to mop up the ball, and distribute it simply, to Song, out wide to fullbacks or the wingers. They're not hollywood balls, but to play the passing game we play, you need someone doing that job.

Denilson was ousted because he was lazy, and I think Arteta is anything but. He's exactly what Wenger means by efficiency. And he's steadied the ship for me this season....

Yeah, Denilson was really lazy on defence and the sort of mistake Arteta made over the weekend would happen constantly with Denilson. But if Wenger does decide to buy another CM/DCM, he’s the one that’s going to lose his place.

I’ve always been impressed with the way Song played that role before he started pushing forward. Smart distribution and solid at the back. I guess I’m comparing him to the way Song used to play and think we’ve struggled in the middle this season. It’s only recently just started to come together with the inclusion of Rosicky.

I agree to an extent. But you do need a few options, so I'm guessing if we do opt for a new player + Wilshere, then all of them would play less games. Especially if we're in four competitions....injuries etc etc.

I'm wondering whether he was more of a replacement for Wilshere then anything....maybe that's why we bought him, in the knowledge that Jack would be unavailable for some time.

In any case, I don't think he's a bad player at all, and it's been nice to have someone dependable in there this year....

True, he hasn’t been bad on defence, puts a shift in but I’m disappointed with his attack if I’m honest. Well, it’s not just him, it’s the way we attack from the middle in general. Song has a load of assists, but we really need someone playing at the top of the diamond in the final third linking up play between the front three. Rosicky has done a great job at it and I love the way he’s able to turn on the ball so quickly and then ping off a pass. But I doubt he has the legs to play this role for us every game because of his age and past injuries. Plus, I think someone playing that role should be getting more goals and assists. I think the Ox would be great there and can’t wait to see him play in the middle with Wilshere and Song. But all three will have to work their socks off like Barca to press the ball when not in possession. The whole team in fact.

Did i say they could not ignore who ever? Its up to them end of the day people can debate with who they want to. My point was you don't have to behave like a kid when you don't get your own way.

Not sure why you bought LDG into this as i never mentiond him.

Nah just saying LDG is a good poster as well.. not bringing him into anything. This is not a brawl

[Niall_Quinn]

You’re a funny guy.

I have no problem debating an issue with any poster on here. But on this occasion with Letter’s he came straight in to wum about people’s reaction on the GW and he’s been doing it for years. He acts as if it’s a one off result and starts attacking posters who are pissed off at losing. I still remember debates we’ve gotten into about certain results and Wenger’s team selection . He usually dismisses it as a one off result and as if people are overacting or ‘kneejerk’ as he puts.

But in most cases, as seen over the past few seasons, the one bad result often spirals out of control and we start dropping silly points. When that does happen and people talk about wanting a change, we get this ‘one more season’ talk and the cycle continues. Now we’re at it again. There really isn’t any point in dragging on the debate if we’re just going to keep going in circles and especially when it involves attacking other posters. Unfortunately, the guys a mod so I can’t put him on ignore.

You guys need to cut the clique rubbish out. It’s annoying, childish and gets in the way of a good debate.

So does your face.

People see what they want to see

Not your face then.



BAM!

Disgusting the way my face is treated around here.

I wasn't wumming. I thought the reaction to a loss after 7 straight wins way over the top from some people. I'm perfectly entitled to say so and I wasn't the only one to say it. We're not going to win every single game, it's ridiculous to think we are and all teams get bad results sometimes.

Well, maybe. And if so then I'll be on here moaning too. The last few weeks have given me some hope that we're heading in the right direction as a team. If we collapse again then I'll be depressed about that because it will show it's been another false dawn but not after 1 result.

I can't believe you accused others of being childish when you in effect said to me "I'm ignoring you from now on, nur nur, nur nur nur." like some stroppy teenage girl.

Mate, check your post.

If you're going to just declare yourself right then we have nothing to talk about

That's lazy, mate. That's when I thought we might as well drop it and there is no need to discuss anything with you if that's your attitude. So you can stop with the rolling eyes and snide digs. It's a wind up and I have no problem telling you where you can go with that sort of that sort of BS.
