Mhmm so playing with a lone striker again with Arshavin and Eboue playing wide..?

Captain Fabregas · Post by **Captain Fabregas** » Sun Aug 02, 2009 3:48 pm

looks like

Almunia
Eboue Gallas Silvestre Clichy
Wilshere Song Cesc Arshavin
Merida
Eduardo

Ah I see... I hadn't heard much of Merida before. He's having a good game.

WOW those were some smooth attacking moves there

Wilshere is magnificent.
He is only 17, I love this boy.

not in a homo way of course

give him 1-2 years and heÂ´ll be world class!
I think heÂ´s much better than Walcott

Did you see Eboue in that shirt at the end when all the others had their red ones on?

And RVP munching on his sarnie.......

Is it just me or did the players not seem too interested in this trophy presentation?

(Mickey Mouse or not, we should make the most of it, it might be all we get!)

Eboue, even though in the Gers shirt

he did make me laugh with his dances with the trophy. he was the only one who seemed to care. He was also out early before the first game signing autographs for people round in block 2, he is the only one who made any effort. Well done Eboue!! shame about your shooting though still

i know, he is a class act and an underrated player, but does need to do some shooting practice.

We all have to be careful about heaping too much pressure on the boy but jesus wilshire is going to be absolute class

Did you hear the pillock from sky interviewing him afterwards and asking him if he knew that capello was at the game ?

FFS give the kid a chance to make it into our team before you start lauding him up for the engerland senior team

As hard as this may seem I really thought that silvestre was worse today than last season

Hot knife through butter springs to mind

How about almunia defending the corner into his 6 yard box when he boxed it straight down to a rangers guy and only merida was on the line to block the shot he would have lost his clean sheet. I know that he did ok but I really cannot see traore ahead of either clichy or gibbs in the pecking order and if so is there any point in keeping 3 left backs ??

On the plus side I thought that merida did well, arshavin looked class as usual but for me eduardo gave rvp an exibition on how to play the lone striker role and his finishing was deadly as usual

Oh and case I forgot wilshire is going to be different class
