Match Reaction vs Hull (home)

[Globalgunner]

Flamini: He`s definitely the man we need in the big battles up ahead. He was seriously missed in the united game...along with Merts of course.

I don't buy we're not finishing teams off. Not really hammering sides maybe but we've won 6 out of the last 7 and none of those wins was by the odd goal.

Flamini played the game at Old Trafford. Got himself booked in the first half which is effectively like chopping his balls off.

thanks, which game did he miss when injured then?

Remember Ian Wright saying there was very little pressure on him when he was playing - said the strikers knew that all they had to do was score 1 goal in the 90 mins and they'd know it'd probably be enough. These days during the match itself the fans are still edgy when the lead is only 1 goal, but the players look completely comfortable letting the opposition have the ball.

In quite a few of those games Sir Ches has made great saves at 1-0, if they had gone in & with the other side on a high things could have been different. Teams come to Arsenal with a plan, when we score so early they look to their bench as if to see "what now", they are basically fucked. There weeks work on the training ground has gone out the window & they are there for the taking.

No wonder it felt like he didnt play. at OT the refs are just longing it seems to send our players off and add to the narrative of " Thats Wengers 5 billionth red card in the English game. Is anyone keeping count of Fergies red cards. i bet its more than Wengers, in the same period, didnt Keane have like 6 himself alone?

Keane was the exception because he was insane.

Man Utd players are still massively protected. Rooney literally gets away with murder every week.

He has missed a few but maybe Borussia Dortmund at home is what you're thinking of. We conceded that winner on the counter that maybe Flamini might've stopped. More recently he has also missed Southampton, Dortmund (away) and Liverpool - won all those games to nil.

Well of course, but we've been whining for years we haven't had a top class 'keeper, now Chesney is on fire there's no sense complaining he's having to make good saves.
No defence is perfect, having a top 'keeper behind them can make the difference as it did at Cardiff with that outstanding save at 1-0.

We've got the best defence in the country by a distance, we haven't conceded more than 1 goal in a league game since the opening day. I don't think stats like that come about by dumb luck.
