Post Match Thread v Arsenal

[Reece]

Wenger is hilarious. His team have been so **** this season its unreal. He has the nerve to almost criticize us for dropping points in 4 home games and yet his team has lost so many games already.

He is simply trying to shift attention from his own failings this season. His team have lost 5 league games already to Stoke, Villa, Hull, Fulham and Citeh.. He's feeling the pressure because he knows his squad won't be able to cope without Fabregas. His central midfield was barely being held together by Fab if even that.

Everyone knows Arsenal only have the mentality to turn up for the big games. So he should try to figure out whats going on in his own players heads before he questions our belief

Do you have a link to what he said mate?

WTF? Did Gallas get sent off? Did Clichy get sent off? Did they lose a key defensive player? NO. They lost a striker so they didn't have to sub on a 2nd rate defender did they?

Their 2 banks of 4 remained intact and didnt need to be shuffled about or changed. They sat deep put their two lines of 4 behind the ball and made it hard for us

Idiot

So what!? They couldnt have managed that if Silvestre had to come for 30 mins?? They wouldnt have been able to sit deep with 2 lines of 4 behind the ball without one of Gallas or Clichy??

What your saying is that being a man down only becomes a disadvantage if the player who's been sent off is a defender! Thats a moronic argument and if you cant see that then you truly are a halfwit.

Good luck.

the norm always is that if you lose a player than an attacker gets sacrificed. if you get a attacker sent off i don't think i've ever seen a manager take off a defender and put on a replacement striker.

i wouldn't worry pepe. its clear to all that v is inaccurate with his position here and calling people idiots just makes it worse

[-V-]

Yes yes ofcourse. They lost an attacker and that obviously opened the game up wide for us didn't it.

Its scandalous that we didn't take advantage.

.........Almunia
Sagna...Gallas.Djourou..Clichy
Diaby....Denilson..Song...Nasri
...........Van Persie
...............Ade

Take the front man out and it totally changed the face of the game. Scandalous it was that we didn't walk through them all

Fact is Aresnal played better with 10 men. We were all over them after the break till the sending off.

Fact is Keane was knackered when he was subbed.

Fact is we are the only one of the title challengers to take any points off them this season.

Rafa has truely ****ed Babel up.

Insua is the best left back we got.

Rafa is too defensive, I think overall it's the home draws where we have lacked any ambition that have put this result in a bad light to some.

By Wenger's own logic then, Arsenal will end the season with 10 losses (five more). Why? Because they've already lost five. Why wont they lose those again in the second half of the season?

The bitter tit.

It's in the newspaper article:

Wenger appeared as mystified as the rest of us by Liverpool’s lack of adventure. “Were they tired or scared to push on?” the Arsenal manager asked, pointing out that a couple of Liverpool players were suffering from fatigue. “I am convinced that Liverpool will drop many points. Why? Because they already have. They have four draws at home so they dropped eight points there. Why won’t they drop those again in the second half of the season?”

[Reece]

What a prick. Why won't Arsenal drop the same amount of points that they already have

[Reece]

Oh I see you've already pointed that out Craig

My point is that it is almost always the attacking set up that is compromised when a player is sent off, regardless of whether its a forward or a defender thats left the pitch.

I never said or suggested that it was scandalous that we didn't walk through them, so dont infer that I did. I'm not naive enough to believe that being a man up automatically means that we should have won.

What I do think is that we undoubtably had an advantage over them for the last half hour but in this case we just didn't manage to make the extra man count.
