Match Reaction v Norwich

[Power n Glory]

Made the usual basic mistakes and was very wasteful, couldn't exploit the huge space allowed to him to any effect apart from getting one decent cross in. Hit a post, otherwise lame in around the goal. So no, far from excellent. Just okay. A mixed bag.

Theo wasn't issue today and shouldn't even be mentioned as a negative. I'm more concerned about Arteta looking like a passenger again and being unable to find our front three with a decent pass. Once again the assists came from Theo and Song of all people. Attack wise, that's where we had a real problem. Norwich had far too much possession and chances because we looked disjointed in the middle. Theo gets far too much attention on here. Did you see the amount of basic passes Ramsey and Arteta messed up?

But, it was a good game and most I the players player well.

He doesn't offer much defensively

This is wrong. He might have been poor today, but he has actually been defending well. Which Denilson used to do as well.

He puts in a good effort for the team, even if his forward play has been mostly lacking. He also has many GHELlish traits picked up while in Scotland/England which are and will prove useful.

[Marc Overmars]

Arteta is just a GHEL.

He does his job.

Kos and TV excellent at the back. Merts scared the shit out of me.

Walcott looks a diferent player. Didn't quite get it right, but the shyness has gone a bit. Much more determines.

RVP awesome.

Midfield was shocking today though. Arteta, ramsey and song looked slow, wasteful and weak.

Should have stuffed that lot 5 easily. But i'll take three points.

Norwich are guff though. Relegation beckons.

[Marc Overmars]

Also, 5 wins in a row.

Not done that since the back end of 09/10.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Good win tbh.

Arteta is just a GHEL.

He does his job.

Agree. But he was poor today.

You do realise NQ is just WUMming with the Theo bashing?

[Power n Glory]

Hes a headless chicken. Has no end product. Basically Diaby with a forehead

Time for Arshavin

Screwed up a load of chances but he does create a load of chances also you never have to worry about him losing the ball in a silly position. He's a threat at least.

Wenger didnt deny saying what is reported he has said in L'Equipe
