Arsenal match thread 2/09

[J-V]

Well that was gash.

[Baltar]

Same old, same old. We've not changed one bit from last season. Tough job to get anything out of this game, we don't look as if we have many goals in us.

[ShellSuit]

Whats the sketch with Assaidi?

[Jhinge Machha]

borini not being played to his strengths. he cant really beat a man, he needs to play centrally.

[silverlining]

Poor first half. We are playing EXACTLY how how I knew (and feared) we would under Rodgers, with this team: lots of passing, few chances, no goals.

 

The fucking "system". Hilarious.

 

Bottom three here we come!

[The Dude Abides]

Suarez and Gerrard our worst players that half.

[Redder Lurtz]

The reason you don't like Gerrard is because of where he was born. Because you don't like anyone born in Liverpool. Supporting a club based in Liverpool must be really unpleasant for you.

 

Summing up: I fucking hate you, and want you to get shithouse AIDS

 

Could you give us all the benefit of your wisdom on when it's ok to refer to a Liverpool player as a 'cunt'? You've called one or two cunts. I'm anticipating the same phrase to be applied to Borini any second now.

[Frankenhooker]

How long is this Suarez through the centre, Borini out wide experiment going to last ? Surely it should be the other way around ?

 

Sterling and Allen have played well and I think Enrique has been decent, barring that hard to see a positive. Diaby is just strolling around doing what he likes. As for the goal, that's what happens when you constantly give the ball away against a quick, passing side like Arsenal.

[Phoenix]

Our two best players ( Suarez and Gerrard) out of form and giving the ball away cheaply.

 

Gerrard needs to be further up the pitch. Leave Allen and Sahin to try and get hold of it.

[fowler9]

awful so far, look to have no chance of breaking through unless Suarez or Sterling make some magic, this is a poor poor Arsenal side with many weaknesses and we aren't getting near taking advantage

 

Allen a class act as ever, need to see more of Sahin

[Il Fenomeno]

Rodgers obviously wants Borini for something, but just exactly what it is, I don't know.

 

I don't understand why we don't put him upfront, as he seems to be one of our only players willing to make runs in behind the defence. Suarez always drops deep and its costing us because all our play is infront of their defence, and their quite comfortable with that. Its exactly the same as last season.

[md1892]

I,d take borini off but who for? Stevie is beginnig to look too comfortable, sub him for jonjo hopefully he may buck his ideas up once he realises he Isn't un-droppable

[KopOut]

Downing for Borini - Borini makes Downing look good..

 

Lets go 3 at the back and get Skrrtel up for headers.

[The Dude Abides]

 

What is Pepe doing there like? One of the worst keepers at making himself big I've ever seen.

[Jhinge Machha]

also clearly missing lucas today. once they drive the ball forward, theres no dm to stop them

[Dani Pacheco]

We are in trouble. Bring on Dempsey and Carroll.

[Red House]

Borini seems so uneasy with the ball at his feet, unreal for a player at this level. On the evidence so far, all he's been good at is closing down opponents. Poor man's Kuyt.

[cartman]

A 17 year old player is the only one to take any form for responsibility in a game against Arsenal. The rest of the players should be ashamed. Especially Luis, Stevie and Borini. They have been shit and should be substituted.

[Delmar]

We don't seem to want to defend in the midfield. Yes, Allen passes the ball neatly, but was nowhere when Arsenal scored, Sahin is getting used to playing with the others, and is a bit lost, Gerrard is just lost right now.

 

Sterling has played well, the back four have one what they can do. The midfield has to start playing, and giving the attackers a bit more to work with.

[fowler9]

also Arsenal fans have to be the biggest species of mong going

 

 

please shut them the fuck up

[Redder Lurtz]

Well I think the main thing to take out of that 45 minutes is that after the new signings, sacking the manager and bringing in a new one and the binning of half a dozen players is that we still are a load of fucking shit. Good work all round.

[lamai]

Downing for Borini - Borini makes Downing look good..

 

Lets go 3 at the back and get Skrrtel up for headers.

 

Downing doesn't make anyone look good.

 

 

Goals where the hell are the going to come from :wallbutt:

 

Should throw borini up front

[Phoenix]

Downing for Borini - Borini makes Downing look good..

 

Lets go 3 at the back and get Skrrtel up for headers.

 

No he fucking doesnt.

[Dundalis]

Poor first half. We are playing EXACTLY how how I knew (and feared) we would under Rodgers, with this team: lots of passing, few chances, no goals.

 

The fucking "system". Hilarious.

 

Bottom three here we come!

It's a shitload better than anything from last season. I'm got far more expectations for what we can achieve once Rodgers makes this fully 'his' team, than what we could under the previous two managers.

 

And Joe Allen is fucking Xavi in disguise. What a fucking gem of a player.

[Crazyhorse7778]

Can't even remember the last time we came from behind to win.
