IF Sagna decides to stay at our club and sign a contract, I'd rather play him at CB... whenever he has played there, he has been solid. Time to get a new RB and play Jenks.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
because generally the top sides can defend far better than those below, so as our general attacking style has been pretty lame this season it isn't that hard for an organised defence to fend off. playing him out wide, like today, doesn't help either. fitting him and wilshere into the team is going to be a problem.
Before the game I was seriously thinking of putting a hefty bet on RvP scoring and Utd winning. Half right but glad I didn't put the bet on.
Very good performance first half, probably our best first half of the season. Good early goal and we should have had a 2nd when we broke free. I forget who had the ball but he passed left to Podolski, it was the wrong ball - it should have gone right to Walcott who I'm sure would have scored.
Chesney made a great save to keep us in front.
And then all that good work was undone by a moment of madness by Sagna who really didn't have a good game today. Step up RvP, he was never going to miss.
2nd half Utd were better and could have gone ahead. We had our chances too though. Overall it was frustrating to drop 2 points when we could, arguably should, have had all 3 today. But it was a good performance, better than I expected, and while top 4 isn't in our hands we've got a good chance if we win our games.
Just got back.
As deflating a draw as we'll ever get v Man Utd. Saying that, it's better than I or any of us expected. Point is better than being destroyed.
Chesney didn't have much to do. Made a great save with his face from the ****s header and no chance with the ****s penalty. Had nothing else to do.
Gibbs had a very good game. Nani didn't have a kick all game and he was one of their shite ass players that I had banked on scoring.
Mertesacker is brilliant. The guy is a giant. His confidence on the ball is growing and his reading of the play is as good as anyone's in the history of this once great game.
Koscielny had an excellent game as well. Keep it up.
Sagna, oh dear god what has happened to you? With nothing to play for in the next 3 games, we should put Jenkinson in and offload Sagna ASAP.
Arteta was his usual self
Cazorla restored his myth reputation
Ramsey has incredible work rate but he does the stupidest of things at times.
Rosicky was once again the best player on the pitch and Wenger took him off which deflated us. He's regarded as pound for pound the worst manager in the business and he showed us why.
Podolski was never in it much although he won quite a few headers and flicked it on. Keep him upfront. Giroud
Theo as usual was excellent. Great goal. Truly loved by all true gooners as his named was sung. Shame the midfield we have is so terrible who can't find him with a pass when he's making a run. Rosicky did once and we scored. 19 goals for the season, should get 20. A legend in the making. All that needs to be said is NQanother humiliating afternoon for our beloved poster.
Subs did nothing. Jack as ineffective as when he starts. Gerv as shit as when he starts and Ox losing the ball as often as he does when he starts.
In conclusion, I reckon 6 of our players did well v the champions but the other 5 need to gtfo.
Cripps wum about as effective as Theo in second half![]()
Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
