That Silvestre played today and Arsenal lost
Other then that, not much. Why didn't Traoré play?
Apparently old Sol played well despite the loss
I don't know why Traore didn't play, and more importantly considering he didn't play football at all today, why on earth did we stick him out on the pitch for 90 minutes?
He was absolutely crap, again, I have no idea how he made it at Arsenal this long, truly awful player. Thing is all I hear is how doesn't really like defending and he's more of a winger, yet the 3 times he bothers going forward in a game, his interplay is terrible, his crossing is woeful, his shooting is beyond crap, positioning, passing, and somehow for someone whose so fast he's always late getting into a challenge, I assume because he seems to react so late. What makes it even worse is he shows no hint of bravery or determination, which in so many players makes up for a complete lack of actual talent. Lazy and crap and getting 10k+ a week
Theo Walcott may aswell not have been on the pitch, the one key time he got played in behind the defence he delayed the cross then blasted it in with Vela, and maybe Fab and someone else all across the goal face waiting for a tap in and he blasts it about 30 yards over the goal. Again, useless passing, positioning, reactions, bravery, determination, delivery and barely uses his pace, even worse he'll be on 2-3 times what Traore's on and has already been to one world cup
Why we played a DM with no experience at right back I have no clue, get dumped out of a cup and have the fans blame the youngsters, could have easily stuck someone else in there. Of everyone we did rest today, Fabregas was the most recently back from injury and the most important to rest, yet he plays the entire game, its god damned madness.
The only hilarious thing was Campbell actually wasn't too bad, except for you know, when he was useless. First goal, stood between 3 Arsenal players, not picking anyone up and ignoring Fuller, next goal, pathetic attempt at getting the ball from Denilson, a ridiculously late Traore moving wide and Campbell not getting close enough to Fuller for a second time.
In a month, under a month, in 6-7 games we have a very good chance of being 10points off the top of the league again and out of the Champs league, while most of the big hitters are already out of the FA Cup, so we throw it away? For all the games we absolutely refused to rest players, in completely unimportant games, this is the one he choses to rest people, and he plays Fabregas for the full 90? The key player who we'd want to rest he didnt' anyway, so what the hell was the point.
We had two strikers who suck as wingers, starting on the wing today, so just waiting to cap of a ridiculous month with Arsenal buying another striker, who as soon as RVP is fit he'll force to play on the wing. We need 2 CB's, not desparate cover, but defenders who are actually good enough that they aren't a liability, we need a winger or two, and to shift some of the dead weight.
