Match Reaction vs Spuds (away).

[Power n Glory]

Piers Morgan once again proves he doesn't know what he's talking about, Don't get me wrong Giroud is not good enough but you can't fault him today, the guy had absolutely no service whatsoever, and I think Henry, Anelka, Wright much better than they are than Giroud would have struggled to do a lot better. Ox, Rosicky both looked dead on their feet and Cazorla had an awful game.

I thought Giroud was really bad. He couldn't hold up the ball which is why he got no service. He'd either lose it or attempt to draw a foul. It's hard to create chances for him when he's playing that badly because it's not as if you can play him through because he's way too slow to play off the shoulder. He's heavily dependent on combination play.

Bloody hell, that was painful

Cracking goal and generally thought we played pretty well first half. Ox was good positionally but his finishing was poor. We had enough chances in the first half to kill it and, as usual, failed to.

Second half was awful. We were out-passed by Spurs. Spurs! Thankfully they're hopeless, otherwise they'd have at least equalised. Nice work by Wenger going with a flat back 7 for the last 10 minutes and good to see us hoofing the ball upfield to no-one to invite wave after wave of attack.

But...we held out for the gabillionth time this season in that situation. It's not pretty but if it gets you the points...


In brief: Spurs

Addendum: Massive 3 points. 4th place trophy is coming home, let's just add the FA Cup and this will have been a pretty good season.

Dug that one out, very important result. A bit George Graham-esque but it worked out in the end. I think we were over cautious though to try and grind it out earlier than necessary, could easily have blown up in our faces defending a one goal lead.

I don't mean we should have poured forward at every opportunity to be open for counters. We gave the ball away too easily and should have at least controlled the game with more possession; spurs aren't really that good as their attacks were the huffing and puffing type. Still, job done

Truly disgusting performance. It didn't look like we wanted to win after the second minute, but we did.

And the Spuds still couldn't do anything.

We're missing key attacking players, but we had more than enough talent out there to put them to the sword in the first half. After we fluffed a few, we turned into a Mourinho-esque anti-football outfit.

Cazorla and Giroud gave two truly shameful performances. Cazorla alternates between a decent/good game and then a shocking one. Bodes well for next week I suppose.

Defence, or Koscielny and Mertesacker more accurately, the only ones fully tuned into the game once more.

If we have the audacity to even think about playing like that against Chelsea next week, we might as well donate the three points now.

Anyway, well done Rosicky .

Just about sums it up! Really happy that we beat the scum and put some daylight between us. However, that was a poor performance. Any decent side would have beaten us today. Giroud is ok against the pub teams, but showed today he is not good enough. We MUST buy a decent striker in the summer. We need to stop buying strikers like Sanogo. It is a waste of money and time! Thank fuck for Rosicky !
