O.k. TWO players kept you from a hiding yesterday. You know who, and your goalkeeper. Doesn't say much for the rest of them, does it?
RVP's at the centre of everything good for Arsenal this season. Whether another has a good game which assists him isn't really important because their form has been patchy. Not trying to get involved in this argument, just giving my two cents
Come off it. Yes, Sagna's pass was not bad. However, the goal was scored by RVP's sharpness in getting in front of Carragher. The second had very little to do with the pass. It was nothing more than a masterclass in finishing from RVP. Neither one of those goals would have been scored by anybody but a finisher of RVP's class. Which is exactly my point. Your reliance on his skill at finishing is extremely high. If you think there's any way that any other striker you have, let alone bloody Bendtner would have scored either of those two goals, then yes, you are delusional!
Not getting into this argument,but an awful lot of people say Maradona was the greatest ever,for one reason.He carried Napoli and Argentina to winning their prospective trophys.Just a thought!
because the way we played against Arsenal is the worst I've seen us for a long, long time. We never played that badly under Ramos, and that's saying something![/QUOTE]
Arsenal 5 - 2 Tottenham Hotspur Sagna 40’ van Persie 43’ Rosický 51’ Walcott 65’, 68’ yeah real one man team eh ? even sagna can score against you dross goalie , another 3 past him today wasnt it ?
Out of 55 goals this season, Van Persie has scored 31 of them - but that doesn't mean you're over reliant on him for goals? Sarcasm, the English language, mathematics, common sense - tell us, if these aren't your strong point, what is?
Play the bitterness card, rather than consider the fact he may be onto something... Chamakh and Bendtner are unable to score 31 goals a season, which Van Persie has done thus far. They might be able to do so between the two of them (although it's more likely they'd amass a total in the high teens/low twenties), which still leaves you around ten goals short of what he's scored - and you wouldn't feel as confident with either of them in the same scoring positions as Van Persie, would you? Whilst Man Utd were labelled a one-man team because of their reliance on Cristiano Ronaldo, they still had other players you could rely on to score important goals (like Scholes, Park Ji-sung, Giggs, et al), which isn't the case with Arsenal this season.
this is why your opinion is meaningless...you think one match makes a season.....good luck with that philosophy
I came in at the point you said that someone that pointed out more than half your teams' goals were scored by one player knew nothing about football - that's not constructive, nor is it debate.
Not an unreasonable observation by any means. A couple of times in our recent history we've been reliant on one source of goals - Klinsmann in 94-5, the Berbatov/Keane partnership between 2006-8 - which saw us finish higher than we would have without them, as proven by our performances when they left. Without Van Persie, who is going to score the goals? The phrasing may be a little off, but can you honestly say Chamakh will take up the slack? And this is true. Bendtner might replace him on the team sheet, but wouldn't replace Van Persie in any way, shape, or form. And you can't pretend Wenger hasn't lost the plot, as he's continuously failed to address problems in your squad - an issue exacerbated by Van Persie digging you out of trouble.
gooner's saying we're a one man team is like the pot calling the kettle black,take out rvp and his goals and they'd be relegation candidates,take out any one of our team we'd still be in the top4
Why do you always seem to think that anybody who speaks the plain truth, or disagrees with your warped, deluded, slant on reality, is thick, or knows nothing??
Making comments like ''AFC-RVP = No CL football'' is not constructive and not debating, especially when it's based on nothing factual and is supposition. A perfectly valid comment. Without RVP and his goals, you wouldn't even have a sniff of CL football at the moment!
If RVP hadn't been at Anfield, Arsenal needn't have bothered to turn up. Worse than we were with Gerrard and Torres.
