No! Nightmare!

Just watched the 1st half against Salzberg and our African tumbling act is playing right midfield!

We now need a new member to join here called....

Eboue Cant Cross

Its all going drastically wrong!

Apart from Abou looks like a young PV4 on steroids!

Abou playing very well in midfield area, Eduaro looks ok, RvP has had some long range shoots

Eboue can't cross and Jens has actully won every ball crossed from a corner

Also what a great crowd there and the atmophere is wicked

Eboute still acting like an idiot chasing keeper down to have a go for timewasting in a friendly!

Dudu looks ok at best

Sagna looks really good which is a plus!

but..we lost!

Remind you of anything?

How about last season! Lots of passing great chances and.......

Well I know it was just a pre-season game but........

Any of you who watched that and still think Eduardo will get us 20 goals this season need locking up! Three sitters and........you can guess!

Sagna looked useful I must say!

We have obviously signed the mad fruit loop secret son of Jens who has come to inherit his fathers goalkeeping crown! Worrying! Very worrying!

Abou is going to be a hero! Appears to have grown during the summer and is now 9ft 4 tall!

Apart from that erm..............Frank Stapleton still annoys me as a commentator and Im hoping the weekends games are better!

This was Gus Ceasar is a Legend for Gooner Forum TV signing out!

Not a great show.

diaby looks realy good, and looks like he will challenge Berty for midfield.

I actualy thought that Eduwardo looks a good a player, but cant realy defend him missing those chances, or for some reason not shooting when he could see an angle.
I hope this is just a confidence thing.

RVP agian looked like he will get himself sent off.

I am starting to get pissed off with eboue who is starting to grate on me with his diving and decent.

We need to do something on the weekend and in Holland or I am gonna feel like we have endeed gone backwards.

My optimism is now running low

I know we lost 1-0 but was trying out formations etc, also Salzburg sarted there season a few weeks ago so were much fitter and had more pace i think in the 1st half with the team that started and wil most likely be the 1st choise team was very good i.e Lehmann, Rvp, Denilson, Eboue and Toure were all good

The thing that has concerned me the most after watching this tonight is the fact that Kolo seems incapable of defending anymore. Throughout last season he was always hugging his right-back, the same thing happened for their goal tonight, with Hoyte having to try and cover for his centre-back. The more I see it teh more I think that Campbell used to keep him in position - Gallas is clearly not a communicator.

While on Gallas - what the hell is he wearing the armband for? Here is a man who has taken every opportunity to criticise the club - only lasty week he was at it. Wenger must give the captain's role to some people with real commitment - Toure, Gilberto, Lehmann, Cesc are my choices (not necessarily in that order).

At Arsenal the captaincy is usually for keeping players that moan happy.

Anyway i can't think you can judge de silva on this game he's only had a couple of appearences you can see none of the players are totally sharp at this point, but i can see de silva scoring on weekend.

Hope you're right. There are no doubt about that he can score goals but football at this level is all about being mentally strong and if he doesn't score over the w.end, then not in Holland etc it's gonna start playing on his mind and we'll have a bit of a problem.

I didn't watch the match, but was Eboue any good on the wing minus the diving and general dick-headedness?

Drone · Post by **Drone** » Thu Jul 26, 2007 8:18 am

Wish i watched the game but where i am right now, it's bad enough i found an internet caffe, so we lost to Salz.. Ebue made same crap as allways (I thought he can cros wery well i remeber last season two or thre goals from his crosses)

, about Dudu if he dont have the pace an killer instict, we going to be fucked.

As long as he scores in the pre season that will give him some confidense, still got amsterdam tornament to play. And about eboue didn't play all that well but if anyone can remember this cross last year against porto (home) in the champions league to set up titi it was a peach, also the goal he scored in pressure situation against hamburg.
