I don't know how we managed to get the 3 points today but we did it. It was probably one of the worst performances i've seen all season, we got completely outplayed and we have scezney and rvp to thank for winning today. Based on that performance today wenger must now see that the team isn't good enough especially in midfield and at centre back and at least 3 players need to be bought in the summer. Song's ball for rvp was immense but i thought he had one of his worst performances and benayoun walcott and rosicky seemed off the pace. Which just goes to show that last week was a one off, however its not too often that you hear of arsenal playing badly and winning so thats a good sign but our weaknesses are there for all to see. Also what happened with diaby??? When he came on he was very good and then out of no-where was brought off, is he injured again????? I think that both oxo and gervinho will have to start against ac milan for us to have any chance of not getting beat tbh but i doubt wenger will do that.
we weren't perfect, but that's what you expect at anfield, nobody ever goes to anfield and has a good game, you know at anfield they will play hard, create chances, and make it very hard for the opposing team to find their rhythm in the game. but what is important is that you will eventually get some chances, and it's important that when you do get the chances you make the best of them, and that is exactly what we did, i was always confident that we would be able to score today even if pool scored against us and piled the pressure.
clinical? we were stretched most of the game. Pretty non-existant through the middle, and Walcott was invisible. RVP was clinical, the rest were needing to go to A & E.
Yes mate clinical because we only had 3 chances, including walcott's deflected effort and we scored 2 goals, ok so it was rvp who scored both but we have witnessed so many games when we have had lots of chances and not taken any so it was good from that point of view. Obviously it's difficult to go to anfield and play well and it was clear how lacking we were in midfield and its evident that we need a replacement for fabregas just so we can go back to the team that actually dominated games both home and away.
Walcott invisible? Did you watch the game? He was our most direct player - yes he got tackled a few tiems and Enrique dealt with him well but he was the player who looked mostl ikely to make something happen. Note Walcott staying to the end of the game when usualy oxo would otaken his place if playing rubbish. Get off his back - he did well.
