Having just seen the highlights, the 2-0 result seems very kind on Arsenal. The Gardos yellow was the right decision. I though that Wenger looked even more gaunt than usual sitting in the dugout. Curious to see the possession stats. This is about the third time that the percentages shown appear to be different fro my perception of what I have seen at St. Marys.
The Arsenal fan who confronted Wenger may cause trouble for a Saints fan who presumably got him a ticket...unless he is on our database in his own right.
Can't find the link now, but it said that Mane had aggravated a previous injury, may explain his erratic performances recently if there something ongoing. Hopefully curable with the right care if true?
He was arrested and SFC said he was an Arsenal fan then (according to Sky). We'll find out soon enough, but we will be in trouble for poor security whoever he is.
I felt JWP missed too many chances today. He is a player you seems to get better when he performs regularly and I think his corners add a new threat to our game. That said, the corners were a bit disappointing today with too many seeming to be played short. No one really played poorly today but Wanyama was imperious all match, especially as he had to be careful after picking up an early yellow card. I would agree with Forster's performance.
MOTD managed to get their appraisal of Saints down to 10 seconds this evening. We won't go away, will we Gary..!
I was interested to see what you'd think. Do you agree then that Sanchez had pushed the ball too far away, and therefore ended all chance of a goal scoring opportunity..?
He played well, but no better than Steven Davis and most certainly Victor Wanyama. He's getting himself into excellent positions, while arriving late into the box, but he's got to learn to finish them. The first one was a great save, but the other two should have been on target at least.
It might be paranoia or over sensitivity but it definitely has seemed like the media have been stubbornly trying to ignore us over the last week or so since we beat Everton. especially notable on the radio phone ins that seem to be trying g to pretentious we don't exist up until today (where more was still placed on arsenal being poor than us being too good for them)
Simply that the Arsenal defender had killed the ball for Szczesny to pick it up or clear, but the keeper was unbalanced and he was completely unprepared to do so. With two defenders standing there like zombies, Szczesny could do nothing but kick the ball out of the danger area because he feared a Saints player would pounce. Unluckily for him he found the Saints player with the deftest touch. Tadic killed the clearance and poked the ball home. Personally, I don't heap all the blame on the Arsenal keeper. He was put in that position by his defenders bad practice and slow thinking. Arsenal are in real trouble defensively, and it has been building for at least a couple of seasons. The person who should take all the blame is Wenger. However, how much do I care..? Guess..!
