Get it through some of your thick heads; Podolski is a striker. He's not a winger or an attacking midfielder. He's not a number 10. Tracking back is not his strength, and it's not something he should have to do. Scoring goals, clinical finishing is his strength. A decent manager who is not past his best would see that and play him as part of a 2 up front. The amount of cracking goals he has scored whilst hardly getting a sniff of first team action (never mind an actual regular run in the first team) is simply astonishing. Strikers work on confidence, on a run of form; they get that by playing, not by sitting on the bench looking at a spastic giraffe falling over and still getting picked ahead of them.
Podolski with a regular run of games and played in a proper system will score you 20+ PL goals a season. Wenger's misuse and waste of Pod is one of the worst crimes of his latter years with us.
As for the game; some of you need to fuck off and do something else if you can't take any joy in smashing the stabbers in their "infamous"ground. "Welcome to the hell"? My hairy hole. "Welcome to our net!" more like!
Ox is far better through the centre and again if Sith Lord Venger would give him a regular run in there we'd see even more quality from him.
Ramsey has been appalling this season but his strike against the orcs (forgotten in the ensuing recriminations) was quality and his first last night was cool, controlled and very very good. His second was goal of the season. 30 yards out, on the volley, like a rocket and with a nice bit of shift right at the end. Simply beautiful, stunning strike. Worthy of Bergkamp, Messi or Pele. But probably more importantly, he seemed to cut out alot of the bullshit last night; less backheels, less un-needed outstep and flicks. Is he starting to refind his form? Maybe. Hope so, but the jury is still out.
Thought Campbell was poor tbh. Lot's of honest effort but runs with his head down and tries to pass through oppo players. Of course he's rusty and a run might help him but I was unimpressed with him last night. Also, he's a moaning whiney bitch, isn't he? Never stopped blaming other players for his mistakes and giving out when they didn't give him the ball.
SaNoGoals couldn't be stealing a living more if he turned up in a balaclava with a shotgun and a bag marked "swag".
A nothing game in the bigger scheme of things and we'll get molested out of it by Madrid in the next round, but some good stuff to watch last night and humiliating the stabbers in their dump is always fantastic. Fuck them.

Podolski's finishing, Giroud's strength and back-to-goal ability, and Welbeck's speed and work rate.

I understand the logic of lots of passing; move the ball often and the opposition will in theory lose their shape, which in turn should present opportunities to walk the ball into the net.Nos89 wrote:Aguero, Cavani, Suarez, Higuain, Benzema...to name five with those capabilities.QuartzGooner wrote:If merging players was as easy as merging threads.

Strachan's description of Podolski was spot on, when he said he takes two passes out of Arsenal's attack as when he sees the goal, he goes for. That's probably the exact reason why he doesn't get picked too often as if he is anywhere in the 18 yard box with a sight of goal he will shoot. No doubt Ramsey got a bollocking and a club fine for having a shot from outside the box as he didn't play it out wide...what a goal that was. No Jack in the team and Ramsey starts scoring and performing again...
