    As great men have said in the past, RVP's only problem is staying fit.

    His goal and assist record is comparable to anyone.

    He worked hard to win that ball in the first place as well.

    Some Drogba-esque defending from him too last night.

    No Joker RVP thread though, which is disappointing.

    I blame GB..

    i dont give a fuck if the Germans were unbeaten at home etc etc

    My issue is with Wenger and the same old shit....the tactics, the 75min subs, the defending etc.

    Oh and we looked good in defending because they made us sit back so we became compressed...naturally.

    It is a far cry from being raped because we try and attack but play this fucking ridiculous high line which Wenger insists on, if we had a chance to keep possession and attacked these guys we would have reverted to type.

    The issue is Wenger, Wenger, Wenger and i was firmly in the Arsene we trust brigade for a long long time...for whatever reason the guy has lost the plot and i dont even remember our last world class performance..perhaps when we beat Chelsea at home last year 3-1 (lets not say we were better than Barca when we beat them at home)

    Shit tactics, shit management and now we are close to having shit overrated footballers bar a few.

    Yesterdays shit draw changes none of the above and until Wenger decides to change we will see this kind of performance throughout the season.

    Because we played the German Champions, people are seeing a different performance and praising it, but if we play that way next week against Blackburn, the knives will come out.

    Dortmund are a good team but our team has serious problems and our performance was more down to us lacking confidence, direction and cohesion. Dortmund should have rolled us over but it's not because they are so good. Credit to them as a team but you can't ignore the sort of performances we've put over the last few games.

    We didn't prepare well for that game and if you go back to Wenger's comments about attacking to keep super Mario quiet, you can see that it didn't go according to plan on the night. We could barely string together 3 passes. They pressed us and kept a high tempo but we couldn't do the same. This is why you've got to question Wenger's tactics. When we don't have the ball....what next? Does he have a plan for that? We don't seem to have an effective defensive strategy and are incapable of winning the ball back or dealing with teams that press tight and with numbers. We struggle to put away lower league teams because our attacks are too slow but when we come up against elite teams, we're going to struggle because we have no clue what to do without the ball and judging from Wenger's subs, he has no idea either.

    Not at all yesterday was not about perfomace it was about getting the teams confidence up by getting a point and a draw and we achieved it. People are praiing the effort of the players not the tactics. and Wenger had nothing to do with changes or tatcis all down to rice yesterday.

    WFT you on about we got a good point at a hard place neraly one the things thats all that matters in the early stages. Barca never put a world class perfomace on. this was the ist game of the Cl ffs not the 1/4 final.
