is there a better passer in world football at this time than Cesc??? just a crazy talent in that kid and so calm on the ball even with all the football he has missed this season.
walcott is still the most frustrating player in the arsenal squad by a country mile, please Wenger break the bank and sign Ribery in the summer....i have no faith in Walcott developing further ...sell him while he is still worth something.
great result although we really should have nabbed that 2nd, that would have been a steal after only being 1 down at 1/2 time.
yet again half the forum will call me some rude word or another, but Walcott is an utterly crap winger. Again any/all good work came when someone played him in behind, if he gets the ball with a defender to beat he's a timid little girl. He almost never uses his pace, his first touch was woeful throughout, he simply doesn't pass players, the few crosses he put in were all pathetic. Nasri didn't have a great game but his crosses were by and large high-ish and would dip into the box, Walcotts never beat the first man, ever. He's an utterly hopeless winger but could be a great striker, basically he spends the whole game making runs in behind hoping to get the ball but playing 1 upfront killed it as we rarely had enough people in the box/attacking.
Song and Denilson were terrible again, Song was assured? like when, tackling from behind needlessly, getting yellow carded again, studs in challenges, again. Awful passing and distribution going forwards, poor positionally defensively and as per usual him and Denilson chasing the play rather than getting ahead of their attacks. Denilson never ever marks any runners from midfield and is always late to cover danger and theres your first goal. If you taped it look at the goal and 30 seconds before, he delays his pass forwards for no reason which leaves Clichy stranded and them with the ball. They attack go past him and he barely jogs back. The ball goes across field and Song is marking the man, for no reason Denilson ignores everything around him and ambles over to song leaving a huge stonking gap for Senna, the ball goes out to Senna and Denilson waits, and waits, and waits then finally runs over to him about 45 minutes to late.
ADebayor was utterly crap for 89.9minutes, again. We utterly dominated the second half yet had one real chance on goal, which he scored. He took one other shot that I can remember which was easier, and went about 30 yards wide. He constantly lost the ball, rarely challenged for anything, was on a yellow and still waves his arms around in peoples faces and fouled people needlessly. He also ignored some ridiculously easy paces, a one two with Nasri that would have put him through on goal, then later another one two with Eboue that would have put Eboue on the penalty spot with the ball and again he ignored the pass, lost the ball and threw himself to the floor with no contact, if it was in the box it would likely have been a second yellow, utter tit.
4-5-1 as per usual and we are a woeful attacking team with no movement and no chances being made.
