And the problem is the bench isn't much better. Ordinarily I would sub Theo, but Arshavin probably won't do much more. We need the pace of Theo against a defence that's almost as makeshift as ours.
rosicky playing well. we need to get rvp into the game more and give him some chances. walcott needs to up his game A LOT, and oxo needs to run at the defenders more, cause he's already been past them a few times. but we are defending really well atm.
see now why oxo hasn't played more. his tracking back is ok, but he can't tackle well and he doesn't always stay with the full back
This is increasingly reminding me of the home game against Barca last season. Let's hope it ends in the same way
Our defending has been woeful. It's hard to believe Arsenal are the home team in this game, we're getting pressed hard.
That's the kind of breakaway we need! Very good stuff. I think a certain Mr Henry would have been good to have.
rafael now booked. get walcott and chambo, especially chambo, to run at him now and try and get him a second.
vermaelen doing really well against valencia. but djourou just seems to let nani go to the bye line and cross, just because he doesn't want him cutting inside and shooting
Don't really know why pple are whining, it's manure we are playing for crying out loud...... These games are never easy fellas.
