you do realise that we have got as many points as any other premier league team in the last 2 months?

I wouldn't like to see your comments if we went on a bad run :D

Poor poor performance tonight where are midfield looked completely overrun. Worryingly suspensions hurt us compared to the other sides so we really miss the likes of Alex Song :shock:

Our defence really needs our full backs back, asap as well although Kos for a "French Ligue 2 journeyman" is becoming an immense defender.

People have criticised Walcott tonight, but I really don't think we are using him properly. He has one asset...pace, yet we keep playing balls to his feet rather than for him to run on to.

Gervinho seemed to be playing out of position today and frequently got lost.

A final word for Rosicky who I thought did really well when he came on. 3 points with the bin dippers drawing??? Will do for me

That's a good result away when you consider both Newcastle and the scousers dropped points at home, it gives us a little breathing space

We just need Chelsea to draw or beat the scum tomorrow now.

Newcastle and Liverpool dropped points
we won away
and Spuds play Chavs tomorrow great night (Mancs are pulling away though...)

Heard a few people say Rambo looked tired. I totally disagree was high energy just zero end product, maybe mentally tired. Arteta saved his arse a few times - such a solid pro.

Theo poor but his skill won us the pen.
Pleased with Rosicky and Yossi off the bench (Arshavin was poor but he won the key corner). Surprised Gervinho lasted so long.

bit disapointed with Verminator - surprisingly uncomfortable in a position I thought he had played plenty of times. Frimpong defended well but just kept slackly losing the ball.

Mertesacke good, Kos absolutely immense.

Liked Coq getting stuck in after being megged - Nzog disappeared afterwards

RVP is god

not just a pen save - the other 100 saves he does to keep them in it

Thats where I am too - I know at the end of the day the 3pts is paramount but for me a late winner doesnt mask the pure absolute shite performance that the team put on again today in much the same way I would argue that conceding a last minute goal wouldnt have made our performance any worse than if we hadnt of conceded. Yes it is a results business and winning playing badly is a trait that we used to love in years gone by but back then those type of days were a rarity while nowadays they are a frequent occurance :cry: Do we aspire to become a team that regularly wins by playing well ? If we do then we have to look beyond the 3pts sometimes and acknowledge that we are a poor team going nowhere fast

feel so sorry for ramsey. he obviously works really hard and loves the club, yet he really struggled today, you could see he was getting frustrated. we need a talismanic leader in midfield to guide him, just like cesc. arteta should be that man, I hope they can form a decent partnership.
as for yossi :barscarf: CHEERS CHELSEA 8)

decent away support from the sounds of things, I really was surprised when yossi popped up and finished it. quality.

We have gained an advantage of the scousers, just need scum v chelsea to end 6-6 with plenty of red cards/suspensions and win those two home games which are piss easy and which we defintely won't drop points in becuase we are the Arsenal, the most consistent team in the league :barscarf: :wink:
