We really are terrible this season, barely ny positives to take either. Surely we need to spend some $$ in January but I would be amazed if Wenger brought in a player who doesn't speak French.

2nd half

28 turnovers for Arsenal, 10 not under pressure
28 turnovers for Borough, 4 not under pressure
Seems about right, we have better touch under pressuere and we were forcing the game and had to be more adventurous. Every time we pressured borough they would cough the ball up, just 5-10% more pressure and they would have stopped trying to play football all together (they went close :wink: ).

also in the 2nd half 12 long balls to 14 which went direct to opposition, terrible game!

what a shocking game of football...

i love cesc, but he had an absolute shocker - and im liking this deegart (sp?) more and more everytime i see him...
Tommy: We've lost Gorgeous George.

Brick Top: Well, where'd you lose him? He ain't a set of fucking car keys now, is he? And it ain't as if he's incon-fucking-spicuous now, is it?

quality post, just can't take how they just let that 1 goal lead slip and can't find a winner.

what should Clichy have done there?? He tried to do the right thing by clearing it, but i tell ya what Aliadiere will never score a header again :lol:

he pumped it long about 5-10 times in the 2nd half. I think there were two players in front of him, just belting it would be fine 95% of the time but this was the case were it f'd up. Still kinda brainless play, put it out for a throw maybe?

yeah i noticed he was hitting the lines a lot, which isn't like him, i still love his burst of pace through players, he gets around them like they aren't even there. Umm nah i still think trying to clear it was the best thing to do, because usually 9/10 it will go long, just this once it went in there favour :(

The whole team were rubish defending the goal. Gallas didn't know aliadiere was behind him. Clichy should have put it out for a throw!!

nice to know arsenal have the best yougsters in the world, but i think wenger is a bit too stubborn with them. just need one guy, doesnt have to be 22 and under and doesnt have to be over 30. just need a level headed midfielder to grind in the 3pointers. to put it frank just fucking buy either barry or alonso.



who in your opinion is the better option? (mine is barry)


also if you were in wenger's shoes who would you buy/sell/replace?

All that Arsenal need to do, is start playing the simple game again, for example the little soccer matches that they would play with friends and family at the local park, then they would show off the skill that they all have
