Team & Match Thread - Arsenal

Rafa aside, if Bellers ain't fit then its utterly pointless including him in the squad. Pointless.

Depends on how he felt, you know yourself if you've played football before that it can be touch and go with hamstring injuries sometimes.

He might have been okay as of yesterday, then felt something in the warmup, so Rafa might have said ok will start you on the bench and put crouch up front.

jusus but there are some right ****ing bitches on here lately
its a loss get over it
carra not good enough
wtf???
we deserved to lose tonight and we did to a better team
we didnt create enough chances.
on a side note we need momo or bolo back because i think alonso needs a rest
he looked absolutlely ****ed tonight,think xmas has hit him and hopefully he'll be rested on tues.

It's all too easy to blame Dudek though. Other players were rubbish. It was a collective nightmare at the back not just Dudek.

I do agree with you Al, but I still can't help but feel Pepe would of saved all three of them, even if everything else remained the same (****e, standing off defending).

[SouthAfricaRed]

you have to admit thought Adrian that resting Reina was a big mistake by RAFA

If Dudek didnt play this one, then When ?

Rafa gave him a chance and he Blew it. The defence also to blame though, But Reina has spoilt the defence with his sweeping play. We only notice it when he's not playing

even if alsono was tired he was still more active than SG

its ok, its just the FA Cup, i would take the 3 points of a league game against Arsenal at Anfield anytime.

Wrong players on the pitch. Dudek shouldnt be on, could have easily saved 2 of the 3 goals. Bellamy should be on, at least in the 2nd half. The Arsenal slayer is not even named on the bench!!!

The defenders still made the mistakes irrespective of whether Bellamy and Fowler should have been on the pitch. Rafa wasn't to blame for their lack of ability to tackle a fecking player. We were ****e, plain and simple. Experienced defenders like Riise, Finnan, and Carra shouldn't have made those mistakes.

[Red_Al_77]

Don't get me wrong people, I do think Dudek should have saved the third at least. But others should be held accountable as well. We have a back four and their job is to protect the keeper. They failed miserably.

I agree. We played badly and they defended well. End of.

bring back your avater from retirement, a couple of spaghetti legs would not have done any harm

Agree again.
I would have saved the 3rd.
And I am a midfielder.

Good to see someone in this thread managing to keep their composure.

Where's the Rafa or anyone from LFC interview?
