Match Reaction v Reading

[Japan Shaking All Over]

man utd defending is shocking - they let in three at this ground. the difference is, they will outscore the opposition and their front 4/5 click, whilst ours don't. defending is shocking in the prem at the mo so don't concentrate too much on that. hammer us if we hadn't of won.

Although I hate to say anything positive about another team, Utd never give up or take the foot off the gas. . . .they go for the juggler and end up taking out the whole neck. . .we are not ruthless enough at times

get your didgeridoo out GB, we won

Best way to pull a wombat. . . .apparantly

Nice win tonight, good to get a few goals, Cazorla the architect behind the win and a good confidence boost for us.

Games like this convince me we'll end up getting 4th, there's not really top quality teams challenging for that spot so I reckon we'll secure it. I do think that will mask our problems in Wengers eyes however and if we win a couple more games this December I reckon he'll adjust his January spending accordingly and we might not see the kind of players we want to come in arrive.

Zimm on the optimism tip

On that Sun link: Eurgh I am so sick of seeing 'papering over the cracks' written, as if it would be better to lose every game until we have the best team in the league or something.

Didn't see the game but followed in the match thread. A good win, a much needed one too. Couldn't take another embarrassing loss to a group of non-footballers.

A travesty that we let 2 in, but alas our defence reminded us that we're watching an Arsenal game. Good thing we had the firepower to see off these nobodies.

Good team selection from Lord Wenger, though he did bring on Ramsey which put us 2% away from a fuck up.

Yeah, Fergie hates variety acts.

Theo up front changes everything.

With Giroud, we keep going tippy tappy and then going out wide for our fullbacks to keep putting in shit crosses. Our whole build up play becomes slow and convulsive.

Whilist i appreciate we played Reading, it is not the first time i have noticed how our game changes when Theo plays down the middle. We suddanly come alive and attack the opposition down the spine of their team.

Theo scares the back four shitless due to his pace, much like Henry used to, and then when you have your creative players running in between its havoc.

I hope Wenger has the bottle to keep Theo in the middle.....our whole style is based upon having a lightening quick player up top and not a slow oaf.

With RVP we changed due to his brilliance, but before that even with Ade his pace and Cesc etc balls down the middle were devestating.

Bigger tests to come, but i for one hope to never see a starting eleven again with Ramsey, Gervhinio and Giroud all in the same team.

I really don't mind Giroud and I am not a Theo lover especially when it comes to his contribution from the wing or his problem with consistency but I am willing to see what he can do in the centre and if we can change things up a bit even play alongside Big Sexy........I think we should have another option to the same formation we seem to line up like every week.
