Match reacton thread Vs Swansea

[Grebbo]

The rest can just go fuck off and the tight-assed Board can surely pick up some decent talent on the cheap from Swansea, Norwich, West Brom and Wigan (all good passing teams who actually bother to graft as well) to replace this utter load of twonk.

Pointless. As soon as they join us they'll stop working hard.

Wenger coaches it out of them.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Or we might bottle it, that's always a possibility.

Touche.

I like Ramsey a lot but today just went from bad to worse for the lad - he got a lot of stick from the cardiff fans and it affected him big time plus the guy is tired - it's so obvious to see - he needs a rest. Problem is no one to replace him. We are unbelievably light in midfield. As much as the attention is placed on our shitty defence (koscielny excused today) it's our midfield that is the problem.
Rosicky, Benayoun, Diaby (?), Denilson...can all depart in the summer in my book. Arshavin won't last another season in the premiership although the last two games have shown his 'missing' work ethic. Which leaves us with Song (who is way too comfortable at the moment with no competition) who had one of his worst performances today again, Ramsey who I rate highly (but is being overplayed for a player who had a double leg break a year ago) Wilshere (who we are yet to see this season) Walcott, who can only score once in a blue moon and plays at 50% every game, the OX who seems to be raw and direct and just what we need right now, and Arteta...who has been a blessing to us this season - we missed him today badly. Our midfield is so lightweight it's amazing we even have 36 points. We were out-played, out-classed out-passed out everything today and it was very sad to see the contrast. Wenger doesn't like the january window - well who cares - he's got a chance to go get some players and ship some out permanently - and he should.

Rosicky is absolutely awful. Would much rather Benayoun or Ramsey. Rest of what you say is right though.

I don't think I can agree with you here . Rosicky was a culprit before he got injured but this season he worked his socks off . He keeps the ball better than both Benayoun and Ramsey . He plays intelligently doen't give the ball away in dangerous positions . He can tackle and shoot better than them . He is far better than Benayoun now and at 20 ,he was much better than what Ramsey is . Did you know the little Mozart ?

We could have had Vorm, Graham and Dyer in our team and would have won that game today. Think we missed GEV badly today he beats players we had no one who did that today.

Theo for me is annoying me the guy goes on about how he should ger 85K a week but performs poor miind you know our board/manager he will get it.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sell Theo and Arshavin right now. And use the funds to pay a couple of decent players. Either that or give the cash to the board so they can buy rent boys. It's a win regardless. How many chances do we give to players who never perform?

Too many, is the answer.

Did you know the little Mozart ?

Yeah, one of the highest rated prospects in Europe.

Until he joined Arsenal.

[IBK]

Very, very disappointing...although it is merely the latest in a series of demoralizing results. I'm afraid that injuries or not it's the 'streak' we were on a month or so ago that now seems the aberration, and these kinds of performances the normal level of this team. I'm not for singling out individual players. As a team we are not good enough - and nothing says it more eloquently than the fact that we were outplayed by a team of players who on paper are inferior to ours. We lack creativity, hunger, star quality, ideas and bottle - let alone basic qualities such as concentration and proper communication. The way we conceded their third was laughable!

Its easy to be knee jerk after a performance and result like this, but I am afraid that we are too mediocre for a 4th place finish this season. And I think that the manager's refusal to bring in the calibre of player we need will result in our best player again leaving in the Summer and a further drift down the EPL.

[Niall_Quinn]

Too many, is the answer.

Cool, I've wanted to know the answer to that for ages.
