Arsenal Match Thread

[The 17 Bus]

Still looks like there is no chance of Liverpool catching Arsenal now, so that has to be a good thing?

[TFF]

2nd half > 1st half.

Convey > Hunt

Fae > Harper

Rosenior > Shorey

[John Madejski's Wallet]

It's been a miserable game to watch, but there have definitely been some fairly decent performances out there today, i'm thinking Convey, Fae, Bikey...

I'm thinking a 3-man central midfield might be quite tastey.

2nd half > 1st half.

Convey > Hunt

Fae > Harper

Rosenior > Shorey

Mad Stad Crossbar > Emirates Crossbar

2nd half > 1st half.

Convey > Hunt

Fae > Harper

Rosenior > Shorey

Agreed.

And

Bikey > Cisse in midfield

[Platypuss]

Convey >>>>>> Hunt
Oster >>>>>> Kebe
Duberry >>>>>>> Sonko
Crossbar >>>>>>>> Murty

[Focher]

i thought we badly missed Eric Obinna

[Platypuss]

Cisse's continual reluctance to use his head is pissing me off bigtime.

[John Madejski's Wallet]

To be fair, i'm not too bothered by the second half performance, once we went 4 at the back and moved Bokey into the middle.

Created a few ok chances

1st half was making me cringe it was so shamefully embarassing

Hope crossbar is lining up today again.

Had quite a good game although let us down on a couple of crucial occasions

You reckon a lifeless object is a much better right back and club captain than Murty?

Did we actually go 4 at the back - I thought Bikey just swapped with Cisse.

Good to see Murty getting the players over to the supporters at the end. Even Hunt joined in - so the team spirit is still there, maybe.

2-0 could have been much worse. Last 15-20 mins we looked better. Tough old season just gets tougher.

Next three games more our level so still have hope......just

Either way, our midfield certainly shored up!

Only a damage limitation performance, that in all honesty, was woeful in itself considering the amount off chances Arsenal had. I think this has shown further regression, heaven hope we see fulham/bolton and birmingham loses this weekend.

For what its worth, Benitez is a cnut..but well in his 'rights' to make the 8 changes today.

[bootboy]

Is it just me,or is Kebe utter shite?

It's not just you.

He was cheap though so at least the Chairman's happy!

Cheap or not he is shite. I lose my faith when I see us purchase an avaerage French 2nd div player and elevate them to a better position within the side than promising youngsters (eg henry etc) who are desperate to play for their clubs. Come on SC ffs give them a go if they are showing up well in the res.

Murts is a proper Captain, OK a bit long in the tooth, but a proper leader of men, which every team needs.
