Up the Arse! Goons thread Part 8

[Cruyff14]

Didn't see the game, I read through most of the report and comments on another forum, seems Fulham were disciplined and they were happy for the point in the end. Don't really blame them either to be honest.

Spurs' run won't continue forever, they will drop points sooner or later, we just need to hope it's soon, and when they do, we capitalise on it.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Ah disappointing, these are must win matches if we're to hang on to a position. I haven't seen the match but I'll watch a replay later and give my thoughts.

 

[Woefully Inept]

After seeing the game it's fair for Fulham to get a point, they came out and played well, shut out RVP, and were very hard to break down

Arshavin was a concern, really offered nothing, Gervinho just looks so much more dangerous, even if his finishing is...non-existent

 

[glenferry23]

recorded the game on IQ and have just watched it. hard to begrudge fulham of a point, they played well. yes concerning about arshavin, he was very quiet. scary thing is that when gervinho goes to africa in january, we'll have to turn to the likes of arshavin/rosicky etc as back up players out wide.

dissapointing that we dropped 2 points at home however perhaps tiredness from all the midweek games is starting to creep in. carling cup tuesday night against city, will be interesting to see what team wenger puts out on the park

 

[windyhill]

Been on a good run, 1-1 was fair enough.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Cashmir Na$ri's return to the Emirates, it'll be hostile.

 

[RickSanchez]

Not here to bag Ramsey, he's a good player and will get better and better. The problem with him though is although he sets up a number of chances, I feel sometimes he tries to do too much and his finishing is pretty poor. When I try think who has missed a number of chances his season Gervinho and Ramsey pop to mine. Not talking about 20+ yard efforts, but inside the box with space he just seems to slam it right over the bar.

 

[glenferry23]

we've lacked a killer instinct in front of goal the last couple of games. would be great to get some more goals from midfield and thus decrease our reliance on van Persie to score game after game

Losing Song is worse. We have no DM to cover him.

 

[Latro]

Song is not going. Cameroon did not qualify.

 

[glenferry23]

have no fear mate, cameroon didnt qualify for the african nations cup (surprisingly)

song will remain in london

 

[Latro]

Bit slow there glen.

 

[Benno_900]

How toothless did we look without Gervinho?

And Ramsey should never have been subbed off, he was the only mid that looked threatening.

Diaby looked really sharp when he came on. Good to have him back.

Arshavin - he's done.

 

[glenferry23]

Lol mate. I'll pay that

He might want to go back to Russia I reckon if he remains a bit player at arsenal.

Excellent!

 

[NTRabbit]

Ramsey was rubbish, glad he got subbed when he did because he spent the entire second half turning the ball over cheaply.

Scoring a goal at either end was the perfect description for the schizophrenic game Vermaelen had.

Walcott and van Persie easily our best yet again. Walcott is so much more threatening now that he has learned to run at defenders and retain possession, and how to cross.

 

[glenferry23]

Walcott has been a key contributor to our revival. Really stringing together some consistency now. Ramsey will come good, he's had big shoes to fill and will have some off days for sure.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Anzhi have been rumoured to be interested in him in January, same with Squillaci. Quite happy for both of them to leave.

 

[glenferry23]

Ironically January is the time that arshavin will likely find himself in the starting XI. Gervinho will be off to Africa. So if we sell arshavin wenger might need to buy to get some cover out wide. We can't start rosicky 2-3 games a week

Don't your mean auditioning for City?

[Benno_900]

What team do you guys expect in the Carling Cup game? I'm guessing there'll be a few more first-teamers ...

Fabianski
Djourou - Squillaci - Koscielny - Miquel
Coquelin
Benayoun - Diaby
Chamberlain - Chamakh - Gervinho

Maybe something like this with Frimpong/Park/Arshavin also in the mix.

would love to see the ox unleashed in january....wenger will likely turn to rosicky or yossi though (ox/ryo could make substitute appearences)
