I would bring in Coquelin - whilst only playing 7 or 8 games, he has held possession better than any other player in our squad on a per game basis. I would have him sit and just pass simply.
ye, but when he was put through by walcott, bosingwa caught up quite quickly. think oxo is very quick at getting up to speed, but he's no where near walcott with top speed. its one reason why his control is much better, and he has more technique. a bit like messi really, who gets up to speed in a flash, but isn't actually that quick.
Agree with that. Really worried about Sagna's side. Chelsea seem to be able to run behind him at will.
Well, lets hope for more commitment in the second half. It seems like they don't realise the importance of the game.
Well we have had decent chances, but our midfield slowing the play is frustrating. You can see players are reluctant to pass to Ramsey. We are effectively 10 vs 11. Or in those 2 worst cases, 10 vs 12... you just can't afford to lose position in your half like that, you can't. At that point you are relying on the opposition side to be **** and not capitalize on it.
What does Wenger actually say to motivate his team I wonder. There's not a single player in red out there today putting in a shift.
