Only caught the 2nd half but our lack of any creativity up front was clear to see. It's a big problem we need to overcome ASAP. I guess the benefit of the doubt can be given as well seeing as Wilshere was missing, and Rosicky was his replacement, who happens to be garbage.
St James' Park is never an easy ground for us, we seem to draw A LOT there. I can't remember too many wins there in the past 10 years or so.
Ah well. On we go.
And yes, the site is very slow, maybe the new server can't deal with the match day traffic?
well at least rosicky looked good.
Desperately missing some creativity.
Rosicky looked good which is a plus, Arshavin looked a lot fitter than last year.
Gervinho looks like he can achieve something with us but his end product is dire, needs to step it up.
Barton is a fucking scum cunt, can't believe I put him down as a possible transfer target for us. The referee is a moron as well.
Defense looks solid, dealt with everything they threw at us. Our team looks like we haven't had a preseason yet from midfield onwards though.
In conclusion, buy some fucking attacking midfielders plsthx.
The King Is Back.
Gervinho lively, Ramsey keen, RVP Isolated. Arshavin should have played the Cesc role. Song very very lucky but looked solid. Defensively we were sound. Going forward we looked a little lost for ideas.
Pretty crap.
Taylor and Barton are both scumbags.
That , my friends - is why we need Cesc.
Looks like we were playing with a cesc sized hole in the midfield. Nothing of the tactics sort has been changed. The tactics were suppoeed to be built around Fabregas. But without him we need to change the play. A new playmaker could sort that out.
The defending was decent though.
CBs , DM and GK were good.
Attacking was lethargic with no acceleration.
Crosses/final passes/shots were useless as usual.
Nice through ball by Arshavin. Maybe let him try the playmaker spot?
Scum prevails again.
Another typical day in the world of football.
I'm off to support The Hurricanes.
Hopefully the attack wake up in time for Tuesday, need to win that and win well.
