Preston NE vs. Arsenal || 7/1/17 FA Cup

[Niall_Quinn]

Zero to do with pace. Iwobi keeping that ball in a tight spot, drawing players towards him then finding Ramsey is what made it.

The reason we had the ball up there in the first place is because we went forward instead of sideways and we moved players up the pitch at speed in support. Like Preston were doing all first half. None of this is complicated. Football's a very simple game. Wenger makes it complicated.

I agree with you whoever you are!

[Niall_Quinn]

10 mins until the subs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi for 35m only looks good value when compared to Stones for 50m. We could have bought Van Dijk for the same price, a superior player.

He really isn't.

We've always tried to play the ball forward. The problem has been the quality of the passing and control. Xhaka almost lost the ball from deep again before playing a ball over the top to help set up the goal.

We so don't, we play it sideways, backwards, tippy tappy round the box, we rarely go at a team with pace

[RomfordPele]

We still look very shaky. Not out of the woods yet.

Bollocks have we. You give any of those midfielders a choice and they'll play it square or backwards every time. It's like having fingernails pulled while being kicked in the balls watching us grind through our usual routine. But every now and again, pass, pass, pass up the field and a bit of running and that's when we look dangerous. The rest of the time you wouldn't back us to get it in the box let alone the goal. We've been crucified with this shit football for years now. Particularly cruel because we used to be the team that could power up a pitch in seconds.

[Globalgunner]

We have equalised, so back to crappy play. Lets take them back to the Grove

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cunningham booked. McManaman says it's ok.
