Match reacton thread Vs Swansea

[Marc Overmars]

One thing that has occurred to me is that all those undesirables we have out on loan cos we cant sell them, well we will be using them next season as all the good players will leave when we finish 6th and RvP and Walcott leave and we are forced to sell others due to lack of income.

Cant wait to see vela and Bentdner back in Arsenal shirts

Don't forget Denilson. They'll be like new signings.

That's a worst case scenario. Which also means it's the most likely scenario. So Nick and Vela up front next year with Chamakh on the bench. And people aren't enjoying this season?

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying;
And this same flower that smiles today,
Tomorrow will be dying.

On a side note, we have the worst defensive record away from home this season.

25 goals shipped in 11 games.

25 goals shipped in 11 games.

12 of them against Utd and Blackeye at the start of the season though. Our record was always going to be a joke after that. There have been times this season when the defence looked very solid, not many times but a few. You have to factor the injuries into that. Losing ALL our FBs is just a sick joke. Then we lose the emergency back-ups too. I'm not sure that just another 13 goals since the opening is as bad as it looks given our randomised defence. Even Chesney is struggling now with all the changes in front of him. And the kicker is all of the injuries have been long term. Why the fuck is that? Happens every year. Wilshere out of the middle too and Theo as fit as a fiddle, how can any team cope with that?

RVP's gone, Denilsons back,
We've still got Bender and that twat Chamahk;
Theo's at City on double pay
And Arshavin can't be arsed today

The waiting period is now until May
Except for divi's and managers pay
We can't compete! Inflated Zones!
Poor old Pat still putting out the cones

Henry's gone, but Wrighty's back
He'll do a job, on one attack
8%, you're having bubble






Yeah. 2 tickets please. We'll do the double.

[Fist of Lehmann]

My face has never been in fashion tbf

Cant play 3-5-2 with no wing backs and to even mention that around the Arsenal training camp would lead to another injured player. How many players do we have injured? Seriously? 30? 40?

Not so many. Just anyone and everyone who could do a semi-decent job at fullback. And Windspear, who would help us keep possession at least.

So if not 3-5-2 what tactical adaptation were you alluding to?

[Flavs]

I thought Rosicky did that well when he came on yesterday but not Arteta, cos he wasn't playing

[Flavs]

So if not 3-5-2 what tactical adaptation were you alluding to?

Well with the team we have it would have to be some hybrid version of a 2-7-1

LDG thinks Arteta did play

Oh piss off you cunt
