If i remember correctly the best footballing team (Barcelona) couldnt break down Inter Milanflash gunner wrote:I agree we played well overall but with the 2nd half petering out (as you said) his choice of subs and the fact we cant play any other way maybe cost us 2 points. Personally i want to win the league so im gutted we didnt win last night even though we played wellBoomer wrote:The players mixed it well enough for me flash.flash gunner wrote:"Wenger in shit choice of subs and no plan B shocker"Boomer wrote:100% agreed!LDB wrote: Excellent post.
For the first time in a long while i felt absolutely no frustration with our style of play last night despite not scoring. We mixed it up as well as we could, had a series of good shots from outside the area and carved up enough chances to have won on the game on another night.
We worked hard and kept calm in the few times that we needed to defend. I thought Koscielny suffocated tevez well for the most part apart from misjudging one in the first half. Clichy played well, song played well and crucially, we played well as a unit.
Disappointed but cant fault the players, probably would have taken a point before the game anyway. Dont really understand some of the reactions on this place i must admit.
If anything and I was more disappointed with Wengers sub choices. Changes needed to be made but the one's he choose killed our game.
Boring Boring Citeh?????

I don't really have an opinion on Guardiola yet.highburyJD wrote:2b fair Guardiola isnt brilliant at game changing subs either
would still love him to succeed Wenger
It's one thing to take a team with Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc. and turn them into world beaters (especially when you have big money to spend and a club that most players would LOVE to join), but that's very VERY different to working on a shoestring budget at a club that is competing in a league with teams that have FAR bigger financial resources than Arsenal.
He may be a great manager, but you won't learn that from his time at Barcelona.
He does appear to have done a great job, but he's had ALL the tools available - he wouldn't get that at Arsenal.

I don't think they came for 1 point until they realised, after about 15 seconds, that they were about to get a footballing lesson
Our 8 shots on target doesn't suggest that they defended well, rather our finishing wasn't up to much. And to compare them, and that performance to our famous back four ? well, you just can't.
( Durham is a nosher. I had to turn it off)
