Arsenal (H)- Match Thread

[Rich]

Soft is an excellent description of our mentality this season

[SimonNo7]

According to the radio Traore has been shocking and yet we don't seem to pressurising him at all, and he's on a yellow as well isn't he?

[Leyton388]

This is a shambles. Our decent from a great team last season to one that cant put anything together and look clueless going forward is worse than anything we had under Houllier.

Even Houllier didn't have a run as bad as this and any other top team in world football would have sacked their manager by now.

That is what we are, how many times do you see us battle and how many times do we get bullied?

I suggest it's hardly ever for the first part and often for the second.

[sinbad]

That's because they've come out and harassed and when that happens to us we fall apart because we are the softest team in the Premiership. We don't seem to know how to battle.

Exactly, time to accept we are a midtable side who huff and puff while its nil nil.......and no plan B when we're behind.

i'm sick of seeing gerrard with his back to goal. he needs to be running onto balls from deep and smacking in 30 yarders. he hasn't got the touch or finese to play second striker imo. he's wasted.

At this moment in time we are 13 points off the top and 13 points off the bottom. We are on the same points as Birmingham, 1 point above Fulham and 3 above Sunderland and Stoke!!!!

[little dave hedgehog]

i'm beginning to suspect it's really not our year afterall.

[Leyton388]

What's this going to be now? 3 wins in 15 matches?

[sinbad]

Aquilani the invisible man...on and off the pitch.

The reason why the manager should be questioned but as ever rafa is god and cant be questioned as he won the CL in 05

Really? What gives you that idea? We're playing sublime, really together, perfect teamwork

[SimonNo7]

Aquilani the invisible man...on and off the pitch.

And apparently injured!

[Rich]

Second half we're been appalling - I mean really, really ****

[greenbloodred]

What a load of ****ing ****e.
