Arsenal Post Match Fred

[Rigadon]

Sterling was so much better on the left.

Feel sorry for Borini. Over enthusiasm and trying to impress got him two yellow cards and he was right to be pissed off at the throw in. 2-1 down trying to get back in the game and the officials make a **** decision like that. The blind as **** lino that called the corner in the first half.

Lallana and Sterling while trying very hard I thought were far too wasteful with the ball. A draw feels like a bonus given that we went behind but at the end of the day we should have won it comfortably.

although I thought Lallana played very well (again).

[danperkins]

He reads the game well (from a sweeper point of view). He's still a bit dodgy though

Terrifies me

[danperkins]

CB's all over the place for both goals.

[Fosterbloke]

You have BradJonesphobia?

[Redspin]

Don't think they were. Looked more a case of us playing fairly well than it being them playing poorly.

Well, we had 27 shots, which is the most they've had against them since such stats began to be collated (according to the studio bloke here in Thailand), while their possession stat of just 36% is a record low for them.

That was as poor an Arsenal performance as I can remember. Sadly, yet another two points chucked away by us

doesn't everyone

Terrifies me

Whenever there's a set piece - the whole defence terrifies me

We desperately need a 'top class' keeper

If we'd kept Suarez we'd have punished them hard.

Aw man their an absolute nightmare. Squeaky bum time

[Red_Polo]

Such an encouraging performace. Stupid mistakes at the back and not being clinical enough up front let us down, that's nothing new though and very difficult to change quickly. But we showed we can work as a team to control games and that's an important basis for progress. We need to carry this appetite and tenacity into our forthcoming games and get on a run here. It's not too late to catch a wave in to the CL places. Not much room for error though.

Aside from that...

Markovic is really starting to show some of the promise we all (well almost all) realise he has. Is he **** a 'miss'.

Sterling and Coutinho lively, but oh for them to be better finishers.

Lallana should be one of the first names on the team sheet. His ability to retain the ball in tight spaces keeps moves alive and makes things happen. Plus the guy can score, we need our best finishers to be playing.

The ref completely bottled the Flamini double booking.

Didn't stand out particularly, but I like Sakho. More Sakho please.

Skrtel remains an incredibly frustrating player.

Looking forward to seeing interviews with Claude and Ty.

Good assessment of the game, really like Sakho and thought he did well

[Fosterbloke]

Shame Sakho has a 50p head.

[shanks69]

Yeah he had loads of chances today & fluffed his lines too many times.

but its not just today when he gets into that position we just don't get on the edge of the seat well i don't as i don't expect a goal,it was similar with alonso all the skill he had but when it cam ego shooting

[danperkins]

Thought Sakho was poor today

[Keyser Soze]

Thought Sakho was poor today

He was better than Skrtel though.
