Post Match Thread: Still unbeaten, Gerrard's on his way back....

I totally agree that Rafa MUST be given time to finish this project - or at least let the foundations set into place!! We have so many promising young players it is only a matter of time before Rafas 'vision' will come good.

Can anyone remember Wengers first 3 seasons at Arse? Were they playing great football or did it take a few more years?

I'm not slagging Arsenal at all, anyone would love to watch a team play like that. The speed and accuracy of their passing is amazing BUT Arsenal can only play like that at the moment. That is a limitation in itself.

Xavi was brilliant, if he hadn't of gone off I honestly believe we would have won. Gerrard getting back at it, and Masher was superb. Think that's a enough of improvement to ask for in one match. Stop the unforced errors- Risse, Kuyt and Voronin were the main culprits yesterday- and we're back in it.

Disagree with that, this season without Henry they are playing a much more expansive game, from the slick one touch stuff, to the long hoof to Adebayor, from the neat interplay around the box, to actually crossing the ball from a wide area.

Rafa can be here for 100 years but we'll never play like Arsenal as Wenger and Rafa's footballing philosophies are clearly very very different. To be honest, as long as we play good attractive football with winning every match as our target then I'll be happy.
