Match Reaction v Fulham

[Niall_Quinn]

Why are our injuries always so long term, we lose players like Sagna, Jack, Jenks, and they are never seen again. Now we hear TV is out for 1 game - that's code at Arsenal for "Don't expect to see him ever again".

[Cripps_orig]

Oi! i said that first, pay my royalties or STFU

Fair enough

Il pay you the royalties as soon as i get my royalties for all im due

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That.

This result has been coming. RvP, again, bailed us out vs QPR. He can't do it every game. We've nothing else up front, if we don't get some more firepower we've got no chance of top 4.

Yep, just hope we ain't becoming a one man team, it seems lately when RVP does not show up neither does the team, we have seen that before.

Still dont understand whats happened with Jenkinson

Yeah hes shit but hes a full back and a shit full back is a better than no full back

Squillaci should be doing better, okay he's up against two players (although one of them isn't really challenging) but at least direct your header away from the penalty area.

I thought some people were being a bit harsh on Squillaci but as a defender you don't really want to be heading it back across goal. He was a bit unlucky where it fell but if you head it that way it's liable to happen.

Back injuries, like ankle injuries are the ones you want to avoid. Well unless you're us, apparently.

And he's not even shit, in fact he's a good player and a great crosser of the ball.

He did have 17 assists in total last season tbf. And ten goals.

That's not to say he hasn't been beyond woeful this season though, mainly because he has.

ok, fair enough.

maybe he was good for longer than the 5 months I suggested. now he is deadweight tho and its players like that who are most to blame for this situation.

look at united, they have been able to bring in valencia as ashley young went off the boil and he has largely done the business. they can drop/rest players like rooney and welbeck. we are asking for more from our front 3 than any of our rivals.

but yeah walcott needs to pipe down with his £85k a week wage demand. absurd for a developing player.

Squillaci is and will always be a mistake waiting to happen. If you bring him on when your 1-0 up with players sent off your asking for trouble.

Why did Wenger not sub JD instead on Gev or Theo is a better question.

Looks to me like he was off balance cos he was competing with 2 Fulham players and when youre off balance, cant help where the ball goes.
