Match Reaction vs. Sunderland

[Özim]

On another note, wtf are people going on about that we got lucky? Exactly how? We dominated those cunts for large portions of the game bar a few moments in the 2nd half when we allowed them to run a bit riot.

Game should have been well over by the halftime whistle, and even if they were allowed that equalizing goal, that doesn't mean we wouldn't have gone on to win just the same, does it?

Yes we did, but we missed our chances. It doesn't matter if you have 95% of the possession and 50 chances if you miss them all and the opposition get 1 chance and score you still lose.

We deserved to win, but your point about how much we dominated is invalid as we didn't take those chances we created.

Rambo.

Folks, we have a new star on our hands.

Cringeworthy thought, isn't it?

At this rate, he's off to madrid or Bayern next season.

How can pointing out our dominance in a game where folks are calling us lucky be invalid?

I suppose if Walcott could finish we wouldn't be talking about the penalty or luck as we would have been 4-0 up. He's been poor this season so far. Needs to up his game

If we'd taken our chances we'd have been out of sight as we were great in the 1st half, but football is about taking your chances and if you don't it's quite feasible you can end up dropping points in a game you should and deserved to win.

We got lucky because the ref gave us a 50:50 decision that really benefitted us and affected the result. Even wenger admits it. No point bringing theo up he has been carrying the team for a year! maybe if others could score 20 goals a season we wouldnt rely on him when he has an off day.

Players have off days, it happens, I think that after a great 1st half we eased off in the 2nd and that encouraged Sunderland, in the end it worked out but that decision could have been key, we'll never know know which is good because we ended up with the 3 points.

The point about us being dominant and having a lot of chances is kinda invalid, we didn't take them and thus the score was still 2-1 when they got their chance. Had the ref got it right it would have been 2-2 or Sagna would have been off, in that sense we got lucky because at 2-2 or down to 10 anything could have happened.

As I said we deserved to win, but we made hard work of it in the end due to our wayward finishing and got the rub of the green in the 2nd half. I don't think people think we were lucky to win because overall we were good value for it, but I think people think we were lucky because after a great 1st half, we gave Sunderland too many chances in the 2nd half and if not for a poor decision could have found ourselves on the wrong end of a defeat or have just got a draw.
