poor first half, our passing has been awful.

Cesc and Diaby are off the pace, Song is alone in midfield. RVP and Bendtner off the pace too, Arshavin is giving too many balls away casually.

TBH we have been poor, bendy cant play wide right, van persie cannot play in the middle on his own. We can not get fabregas or arshavin on the ball.

Dont even want to comment on diaby :banghead:

Do you think RVP should play on the side of a 433 so he can cut in on his left foot?

I know it's a bit short but what do you think of a 3 of Eduardo on the left Arshavin down the middle and Walcott on the right?

Van Persie plays on the right wing for Holland and does quite well there.

I think he can play down the middle on his own as well though, he made some decent runs and should have had a goal.

Diaby keeps giving the ball away - no change there then!...eboue isn't doing the queen of drama so much...song our best player...the whole team looks off the pace - good save by almunia.....

our 3 best players have been Song, Arshavin & Fabregas.....

the ref's a TWAT! and valencia bunch of diving crunts....

if we play like this against everton we're fucked... :cry: :banghead:

bring on Eduardo and Walcott

OOOO Feckin' raaaaay! Eduardo & Theo...some skill & pace to get behind their defence....fingers and toes crossed :oops:

arshavin will not be able to play down the middle either. To play in that role you must be able to hold the ball up.

We must play 442, this 433 does not work for us at all.

Is there a reason why these games aren't televised on Arsenal TV (sky)? If I had subscribed to it I'd find it a bit senseless reading "programmes start on Sunday" on a Saturday afternoon. Or will the Setanta close down affect these club channels? Nevertheless others seem to have a wider schedule, don't they? :wink:

i'd like to see eduardo in the middle and rvp on the right, like he plays for the dutch national team.

and anyone, even my dog, instead of diaby.
