PALACE V ARSENAL - Aug 16th 1.30pm K/O

[Niall_Quinn]

On the replay, Coquelin puts a hand on the guy and basically he cheats by diving. Fortunately the cheat didn't prosper. But he will eventually.

[Kano]

The players are expressing themselves. Who needs tactics, formations and leadership when it's a free-for-all?

And that's the problem. Unless certain people are on their game, it just be becomes a repetitive mess.

[Niall_Quinn]

We lack balance down the right. Koscielny is a pussy. Coquelin needs to come off.

We lack balance anywhere, we lack tactics, we don't have a formation to speak of what with Ramsey, Ozil, Cazorla, Bif all having free roles. We have no in-game management. No leadership.

Other than that everything is great against a team we should be beating comfortably if we have any genuine title aspirations.

Coq is a poor mans Schneiderlin

What do you think, bring Theo on after 72mins and the start bunging crosses into the box?

[Kano]

We lack balance down the right. Koscielny is a pussy. Coquelin needs to come off.

Ramsey. Sanchez has spent more time on the right than he has. But Wenger doesn't reign him in, so he just joins in the kick-about in the middle of pitch flicking round corners onto the oncoming legs of Palace defenders.

[Master Splinter]

Mason becomes the first ref to let Arsenal get away with something.

He'll even it up by sending off Arteta, Ramsey and Alexis in the second half.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coq is a poor mans Schneiderlin

He's trying to do too much by himself. He doesn't have a partner in the middle because the players who could be helping him out are anywhere except where they need to be. Ramsey and Cazorla have thrown him under a bus. They are both too busy sitting on Ozil.

[Niall_Quinn]

No subs by the stubborn fool Wenger.

[Master Splinter]

Munchies is a poor man's Cripps.
