Match Reaction v Udinese

[Power n Glory]

Chambolic performance from that piece of shit. Weak, poor first touch, lazy runs...a shocking. Chambles should never play for is again.

Theo was our best attacker. Good goal, hit stuck in and made a few good passes and crosses. He'll get sharper.

Ramsey needs to sharpen his game but our midfield was poor. Song has no discipline. Just roams all over the place and leaves us exposed. Rosicky wasn't fit.

Vermaelen was very good. Solid performance.

Not really impressed by Gervinho. He can't pass or shoot. His work can be sloppy and scruffy. Pepole describing his play at Lille said he's like this so I don't expect a huge improvment.

Cheseny played well, the rest not worth mentioning.

I thought Chamakh did alright winning and holding the ball up tonight.

Stop speaking sense.

If Chamakh doesnt score 47 goals a game, hes shit

[AKBapologist]

Think you're reading too much into it. Some players (well, actually, I can only think of Ramsey) showed they have a good engine and you could clearly see them working hard. Gervinho seems to be a trier too.

Fully agree with you that we should be proud regardless of talent and purely on effort but I don't think the effort was that special today. The midfield weren't working enough to cover the large gaps and they could easily have ran in 2/3 goals if they had some half-decent players. Thought it was a slow-paced, rubbish game but I don't think we're in much danger of going out so happy enough taking the 1-0.

A slow paced game eh?

Move along please, there's nothing to see here.

Move along please.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Chamakh cant head?

Oh dear

not at arsenal. we dont cross.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

This game just shows how weak our squad is in terms of quality. Look at the team we had at the end, with Frimpong, Jenkinson and Chamakh all starting when two of those should be bedded in slowly, while Chamakh is league one standard. However, we must be wrong, because ******* thinks our squad is too large

Frimpong looked good though, and you have to admit we were missing lots of key players tonight well 3 or more.

I think the liverpool game we will see a diffrent team which looks better tbh.

I think you're confusing both teams giving the ball away every 2 seconds with it being end to end.

[Joker]

Giving everything is the minimum requirement for a football team. The fact that we're forced to praise the team just for giving 100% shows how accustomed we're used to seeing lazy bastards ambling through matches for us, that when we actually do what we're supposed to, it's a welcome surprise.

[Marc Overmars]

We looked so average it was scary. The way Udinese worked us about the pitch, we were chasing shadows for that 2nd half. So nervy, devoid of any ideas, no one willing to push the team forward. It's like a light has been switched off in this team, very concerning.

I suppose some credit should be given for the defence, they did well and have now given us a fighting chance thanks to the clean sheet.

This tie is far from over, I fully expect us to struggle out there but at least RVP and Wilshere will be back.

Come on Arsenal.

I like Chakma from the first half of last season and had he not got 'tired' or side tracked coz of RVP, he couldve been a good player BUT seriously you cant say that he had a good game today.. he was freaking shocking! He looked at best a pedestrian! He shouldnt be in a team 'hoping' to challenge for 4th place.
