Match Reaction vs Fulham 10/11/12

[Marc Overmars]

Exactly, you've got to be a real coward to pass up the opportunity of a hattrick because there's a bit of pressure.

Another bottled job.

Sh*t penalty by Arteta but he's not a striker at the end of the day, at least he had the guts to come forward and take it.

Agreed.

Undone all the good he did in the game. Utter failure of a human being, Wenger seems to churn out a lot of those now.

Maybe hes got a bad record when he's taken them in the past. Penalties are a mental thing. No point in someone taking them if they think they are going to miss. You need a psycho who has no nerves Peter Storey was the best - he used to stare at the goalies with those mad dark eyes and they would shit themelves.

Every team should have a penalty take (not Aterta who not only never scores but has no history of taking any).

How can I say he has no bottle? Simple he's on a hattrick with a chance to get a 3rd and seal it and he bottles it and lets someone else take it......not striker with anything about them would do that.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Yeah, let's not jabber on about the penalty eh? Sometimes they miss. It happens. Giroo missed in the COC with his confidence up after scoring his first goal. The spectacular fail of Arsenal's defence is once more the key. We've got form for scoring with 98th minute penalties and still drawing, remember.

[RomfordPele]

I genuinely think we're only a couple of seasons away from becoming relegation candidates.

You can't sell your best players systematically, year on year, without some pretty dire consequences.

Thumping defeat next week, Walcott off in January and we are in full scale meltdown.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Something is very wrong with our marking system, and until we address it, we'll continue to prove just how misleading stats can be.

[Globalgunner]

This game typifies everything that is wrong with this current Arsenal. Not only are they not that good technically, have no bottle, cannot defend and are wasteful in front of goal. They cannot even take advantage of good fortune. I was about to post in the match thread that Phil Dowd (big bellied tosser)is kryptonite to Arsenal`s superman. However he wasnt the issue today. We were abysmal as usual. Fulham played very well, we were given an underserved penalty and choked it. Following tis clb is sheer agony at the moment. It is hard to wish them well with the muppet in charge. Onward to the NLD. i am prepared to see the worst happening before things get any better.

[Özim]

He scored against QPR. He was Everton's main penalty taker.

He also use to be a playmaker, since he moved to us he seems to have forgotten how to play attacking football.

Bad choice to take penalties, should have be the guy on a hattrick without question....and if he had bottle it would have been.
