Up the Arse! Goons thread Part 8

[Cruyff14]

Vertonghen's contract expires end of next season I think.

He can play CB and DM too. Yes please.

 

[glenferry23]

Imagine if we re-signed gim briefly. Oh boy!

Even at 34, surely he provides better back up option for RvP than chamakh

I remember this is how the sol Campbell loan signing began. Training at the club to 'keep fit'.

 

[NTRabbit]

I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time Thierry has trained with the club during the MLS off season. Not the first player to do it either, remember Beckham?

Line up for tonight is

Szczesny​

Vermaelen - Koscielny - Mertesacker - Santos

Song​

Walcott - Ramsey - Arteta - Gervinho​

van Persie​

yes i know mate, was just being a bit of a smart ass

good line up, but i would imagine kos would be across at RB

 

[NTRabbit]

It was just a guess on formation from the 11 named. I think Vermaelen makes a better full back, but it is the wrong side of the pitch for him.

 

[glenferry23]

jesus christ mertesacker. that was awful.

 

[windyhill]

Mertesacker has the turning circle of The Queen Mary.

 

[glenferry23]

the look on scezezny's face said it all

 

[windyhill]

Gervinho off, Arshavin on, embarassing. And this dick co-commentator was saying he was having a good game ? Average at best.

 

[Cruyff14]

RvP is God.

 

[glenferry23]

we're far from safe here. very open game, we need a 3rd goal to finish them off hopefully.

walcott and gervinho playing very well although gervinho has had a couple of chances he should have buried

 

[Cruyff14]

lol at Grand Blue calling RvP overrated in the EPL thread.

Mertesacker has been a shit signing. Kos and Verm should be our starting CBs.

If we score a third it's over.

 

[glenferry23]

some nervous moments towards the end but overall a very good victory. how we didnt score more is beyond me, had countless chances and really should have finished off the game earlier. but very happy with the three points and keeps us breathing down the neck of 3rd and 4th place

 

[beatlesmith]

Santos is very frustrating. Dives in early with his tackles, which comes off sometimes but often leaves us terribly exposed. Needs to jockey and make standing tackles.
Arteta was horribly sloppy. Really want to see Wilshere and Ramsey together.
Not sure where the composure and decision making Per is famous for is hiding?

TV was quality and RVP doesn't even require introduction. How he missed Ballon d'Or nomination escapes me.

 

[windyhill]

gervinho playing very well

He was rubbish tonight. Carrow road is a tough away trip, happy with another 3pts.

 

[windyhill]

I think people miss what Arteta does, he is an absolute workhorse, always helping his defence and then next minute he`s providing an option up forward. Underrated.

 

[Benno_900]

gervinho playing very well

He was rubbish tonight. Carrow road is a tough away trip, happy with another 3pts.

Just because he wasted a couple of chances doesn't mean he was rubbish. He had a good game and destroyed that spud fullback.

Walcott was fantastic and Ramsey's good form continues.

Vermaelen

 

[windyhill]

gervinho playing very well

Walcott was fantastic and Ramsey's good form continues.

Vermaelen

He had to be subbed and was, thank god. Walcott, T.V, brilliant.

 

[glenferry23]

Yes harsh on gervinho. Certainly wasn't rubbish, he was far from it. Really should have scored 2 goals, and his first half in particular he and Walcott were running riot down the flanks

 

[glenferry23]

How much better do we look down back with TV? A beast

 

[windyhill]

Yes harsh on gervinho. Certainly wasn't rubbish, he was far from it. Really should have scored 2 goals, and his first half in particular he and Walcott were running riot down the flanks

Sorry mate, I have to disagree, RvP saved his blushes, had to be subbed and was.

 

[Benno_900]

He had to be subbed and was, thank god. Walcott, T.V, brilliant.

He was subbed to give Santos some protection as Yossi works harder defensively.

Nothing to do with his performance.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Gervinho played well I thought had a couple of off passes and should have scored probably 2 goals but other than that I thought he was very good along with Walcott

Typical Gunners game have a bazillion shots on goal not putting many away and a shaky defence and blunder.

Santos is too slow and gets caught out too much and gives his players way too much space I'm not sure that he is actually a defender

 

[Latro]

Arteta passing was awful. He gave the ball away all the time.

Did anyone think that Per would of dealt with the ball easier if he was shorter.

 

[windyhill]

He was subbed to give Santos some protection as Yossi works harder defensively.

Nothing to do with his performance.

Ok, let`s agree to disagree.
