Finally after 13 meetings Arsene has become proper pupil of Master Jose. # Arsene superbly parked the bus # Played with more defenders and had 11 men behind the ball # 43 % possession to Chelsea's 57% possession. # Played boring - boring football # Fewer shots and fewer chances created than Chelsea. # More fouls commited than Chelsea. # Outspent Jose in the last few years. It looks like 2004 all over again. I consider Goons to be a threat - especially given both Manc teams have Managers who are 'Dead men walking'!!
Agreed. But teams like West Ham, WestBrom & Manures need long balls to get the ball out of danger. They don't have proper parking know-how.
Yup, looks like Wenger has learnt a few lessons. Lets just hope when Jose does this to him in the league him and his legion of pretty football fans don't moan about it and look back to this game
Did any of you watch the game? Hazard had an off day and you had no penetration. 57% to 43% possession does not suggest a parked bus, merely that one team had slightly more possession. Arsenal ripped your defence apart on several occasions and should have scored a minimum of 3 goals.
Nah didn't watch it. But that 57% to 43% with us having more shots on target (might have been crap ones) similar to what you guys were trying to point out when we beat you guys at old trafford?
they didnt miss.. Tibo was better.. that can be compared with oscar FK. where as our guys missed sitters.. Cech was nervous in setpieces. Our guys didnt work him enuf.
Oh so moving the goalposts now are we. So its a combination of personnel and shots on goal and possession i see... So arteta a dm for ox a winger isnt defensive and gibbs a lb for a ozil a luxury am are both attacking moves....i seeee Im just glad that mourinho saw the funny side in things and credited arsene for the defensive performance.
Carzola let the ball get away from him and Gibbs (fortunately for you) isn't a striker, great keeping though, almost De Gea like.
