It will be sad to see Podolski leave, especially when Sanogoal is persisted with, until we quietly see him pushed out the door, similar to Gervinho.
WHAAAAT!!!
Gervinho is Gone! Fecckkk I thought he was injured!

Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
How can Podolski not be getting more game time ? He is clinical in the box but apparently doesn't do enough covering on the left wing at times. (not Arsene's words ..just one who supports him).
Wasn't convinced by Campbell, at times I thought he was trying too hard and didn't always look for the obvious. Good result obviously but equally obviously they were dreadful , as proved over the two games and their points total . Debuchy back was good, but as suggested was he left on too long. Hope he is ok for Saturday. Could have got those six goals by halftime.

Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
I'll admit Joel was trying to hard but then so has Ramsey up until he scored the other day, i thought tonight he looked a lot more like last season at times, even getting stuck into tackles.
Confidence is key with some of these players and if you dont play you lack confidence, one thing i've always hated about Wenger is his lack of confidence to rotate players, meaning he plays players into the ground and they often pickup needless injuries, immaterial of how well or badly you do on the training ground things are different in a match.
Tonight there were some assured performances from fringe players and even the youngsters didn't look too overawed, and immaterial of how bad Galatasaray played it is still an absolute shit storm of a place to play in when the crowd are baying for blood.

Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
I imagine that being continually overlooked and second too Sanogo, when you get a chance you're probably desperate to show something. Sanogo is rubbish. Podolski needs to play withy that enthusiasm every game he gets and Ramsey finally hit his straps.Bradywasking wrote: Wasn't convinced by Campbell, at times I thought he was trying too hard .
Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
Stunned he left Debuchy on after half time , he looked mustard .
They are shit Schneider is there because he loves the cash nothing more!
Podolski is a class striker who can play up front on his own if required !
Wasting away that was the policy !

Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
No - that's impossible. He's as bad as they get. In the second half Plodolski decided to break into a gallop in extra time & scored his second goal. For the rest of the half all he did was walk & play little wall passes. Yes I know he's got a great shot on him but I just don't think he put's in enough. Their left back made him look a world class player in the first half. Nice finish too.mcdowell42 wrote:Is it me or is the postman getting worse.

Tuned in to TalkSport for my weekly John Cross update:
"I think many Arsenal fans will regret it when he goes I really do. 15 years in a row qualifying for the knockout stages is an unbelievable achievement"
ONE JOHN CROSS......THERE'S ONLY ONE JOHN CROSS

Re: Galatasaray Away Match Thread
There really are some dullards on here. 
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.
