We started ok with some decent passing, but our closing down has been lazy and we have been too slow getting to the second ball. Overall fairly poor for the first half. Walcott is continuing his good run of form, Arteta looks up for it and i think RVP will give us something more in this game (walcott/rvp goal was fantastic). Ramsey is not giving us enough width and Vermalen just needs to find a little more composure. And the midfield need to tighten things up and close quicker. Oxo could make a difference here.
Anyone notice how the linesmen are letting decisions go against Arsenal today - 4 clear offsides have not been called. Reaction to the Everton goal disallowed?
Absolute non - sense. Ramsey strikes a ball very well. He's going to be a top quality player.(he is having a poor game though)
What does Ramsey actually offer? Earlier in the season, I thought he was playing badly due to fatigue but watching him here, he's still the same cumbersome player.
The ball bounced 3 times before it got to the goalie - wake up and actually watch the game I havn't seen these wonderful Ramsey strikes by the way.
I think Ramsey is clearly playing with a lack of confidence. Must be down to all the negative pressure from the 'fans'. Whatever it is, he certainly is the weakest player in our midfield & has been since his return.
Although a duff cross, Theo is looking really sharp lately. Taiwo is no slouch and he left him for dead.
