Arsenal v Saints match thread

Pellé's giving up on too many second balls for my liking.

His body language worries me. Lost a bit of spring from his step.

 

yoshida makes my nerves bad

 

Need to show character in the bucket load.

 

Yeah I'm worried. Yoshida looks too slow on the ball, something that has me concerned against such a fast team.

 

Citeh 2 1 up now

 

Long having an excellent game. Slightly worried with that injury.

 

Unfortunate fixtures for City fans - travelling from Saints to Sunderland in just a few days

 

Wanyama by far our best player again.

 

Have they pushed Tadic on the right to bother Monreal?

 

Not a foul! He's been poor towards saints this half.

Good save! Arsenal playing for fouls now.

 

Arsenal getting every little decision

 

Fantastic save by Fraser. He's had a very good first half, very commanding in the area.

 

Very very good save.

 

not a bad 1st half that.

 

Ht 0-0

 

Good solid team display so far, we haven't let Arsenal play their flowing passing game. That is the best half that Fraser has had in a Saints shirt.

 

Forster has done well today. First game he's been noticeably above what I'd expect of Boruc.

 

Good half, overall. Bloody annoying to end up with Yoshida on the pitch again though. I am seriously confused about the idea that Koeman likes to play youngsters. He doesn't seem to have any faith in Reed whatsoever. On the other hand, I do like Alderweireld in midfield!

 

Forster is back to his early seaon form,looking decisive and confident, makes me moe confident

 

2 best players Vic & Forster. Pelle has held the ball up well and won most things in the air. Desperately unfortunate to lose Corky, but we can still get something here - we're not playing with the fear we did against City.

Sounds daft, but all Pelle needs is a goal. His all round game has been good. I still blame being stuck on 9 goals on Dan and Joe
