Match Reaction v Man Utd

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I really don't agree with this, drew with Newcastle, lost to Liverpool at home got hammered by Man U.

Udinese are nothing special 4th in Serie A (an avergae league these days), lost 3 of their best players and yet we foud it really hard work...IMO this doesn't show we're a very good side at all, in the paste we'd have wiped the floor with them, but such have standards fallen that we now find it hard against them.The top sides will anhiliate us based on this, in fact they already have.

We never needed to wipe the flooe with udinese thoughm we did what was needed tbh.

He's looked badly off the pace but I think there is a talented player lurking in there somewhere. Another player who has been totally exposed by Wenger's failure to strengthen.

(And STILL no move for Parker ... if he ends up at Spurs I'm going to be seriously pissed off.)

he will. baffles me too. I mean he may not be Essien or Xavi but has what most of our players have been lacking: guts and leadership.

The same parker who led west ham to relegation, jumped ship as soon as Charlton got relegated, never shined at Chelsea. Nah its ok thanks don't need him.

No shit.

The top sides may well beat us but there are only a few of those. We're not that great a side this year but we're not that bad.

Nah its just not the worst thing for him not to come to us, he's not even spurs 1st choice tbh.

At this moment in time I'd jump at the chance of signing Parker. Unfortunately, he's not the type of player Wenger's interested in, because of his age and style of play. You saw how Wenger subbed Coquelin, who was at least making tackles and putting himself about even if he was out of his depth. Wenger doesn't like players like this this, thinking they're unsophisticated and won't fit into his "Wengerball" philosophy of pointless short passing without any cutting edge. Parker would be vocal on the pitch, he'd bang heads together and would put himself about and wouldn't make it easy for the opposition midfield. We definitely wouldn't have been so easy to play against if he was in midfield, and shoulders would not have dropped so easily because he'd demand our players to stand up and be counted.

No i think it might have been more to do with not wating the lad to do a frimpong and get sent off. Nothing to do with the tackling otherwise Arshavin would have been subbed too.
