Match Reaction v Borussia Dortmund

[Letters]

walcott was good tonight i thought, covered well. one moment where he sprinted whole pitch to get back and prouduced great tackle to get ball back. just cos he didnt sprint past everyone doesnt mean he didnt have a good game. not a great game by recent standards but still was good imo

He did work hard I guess but he was in the defenders pocket all evening. He did have a half decent shot one time I guess.
Not his most effective performance from him though and I do think he struggles against better defenders, he's not quite at the level we all hoped he'd be. Looks good against pub teams like Norwich though.

Oh yes. The atmosphere.
Dortmund
Us.

It's a bit embarrassing really, we really are a quiet crowd. But that's what's happened, Arsenal have priced out a lot of the traditional fan and marketed themselves at the middle classes who tend not to make as much noise.

Hats off to the German fans for singing at 1-0 down in perfect English
"You only sing when you're winning".



It's funny 'cos they're Krauts.

Thought Walcott did well defensively. Showed other parts to his game other than the sprint past players which we all know he can do.

Was always a threat and was hacked down a few times as he scared the shit out of them as he does with most teams. Hes coming good im afraid.

On the downside, Gervinho, seriously wtf? He is woefully off form and its time for Arshavin

or chelsea

think you being harsh here, yes he was in pocket but still got away at times and was good. put in one blinding cross which keeper was strecthed to save. not great game but he has been great recently. lets not be too harsh atm.

I was about 10 seats away from the divide in the clock end. It was a bit embarrassing really. I think everyone was just more interested in gawping at how vocal they were, rather than actually signing for Arsenal.

Easily the best visiting fans we've had at the Emirates.

That dummy he threw, and then ran onto the pass and whipped the ball in was fucking top class. More of that, and he'll be awesome.

He's showing signs of getting more agressive, which I reckon is what he lacks.

Lad is still on 21/22 ain't he?

If we can keep him, I'll think he'll come along quite nicely.

or chelsea

The way they defended that day I'd have looked good against them.


Also, where's Zimm? Crossing the City kit off his letter to Santa?

[Master Splinter]

Theo and Gervinho both did well defensively. Theo was also our biggest threat in the first half.

There's not too much to worry about with Gervinho. Just needs some composure.

Also RVP played most of the game as a playmaker and put in a great defensive shift too.

Hard work and tracking back brings results.

Who would have thought?

This and dont forget how good he and RVP are together. Dont believe me, just ask RVP

He like RVP is staying fit and is finally getting a good run in the team and hes doing well.

Long may it continue
