This sums up my thoughts about the game! |
I read his post game comments saying that Oxlade-Chamberlain had pulled his calf and that he was getting tired. Even if we assume that's true (which i am not sure it is) you DO NOT put Andrey Fucking Arshavin in there. I don't care if he is the captain of the Russian National team. I don't care if he is the captain of the Martian National team. He has played like shit for so long that he does not deserve to be in there. He had a chance to impress against Swansea by starting the game but he did fucking nothing. He is horrible defensively which he proved again by allowing United's 2nd goal.
The game itself was two sided. With the exception of the first 10 minutes, we got dominated in the first half. Defensively we were sucking just because we can't position properly. A good example is the chance Ryan Giggs missed on the right wing, when he got a through ball and two defenders just watched him and allowed him to go face to face with Szczesny. United had other chances as well and scored a deserved goal at the end of the first half. Ryan Giggs was again allowed to cross with no pressure on him and we got what we deserved for defending like that.
Second half we played much better and created 3 chances that we should have scored: RVP missed a chance i never thought i would see him miss; Ramsey and Rosicky missed one each as well. Eventually RVP scored a great goal but because of Wenger's stupidity and Arshavin's "great" defensive skills we got scored on in the dumbest way possible.
Szczesny had a good game and saved us on a couple of ocassions. Djourou was fucking aweful and was getting abused, so thank god Wenger put Yennaris in. I am not saying he did great but i prefer to watch Yennaris than Djourou's clumsy ass. Mertesacker was up and down. He got exposed a few times, especially his lack of pace when Welbeck almost scored from a non threathning looking ball and Mertesacker himself had to clear the ball of the line. But he also had some good defensive stops. Koscielny was again our best defender, i love how solid he has been playing since the Man U game in the beginning of the season. Vermaelen got beat for the 1st goal but other than that he was solid as usual.
Rosicky was pretty good, showed a lot of energy but should have done better when he had his scoring chances. The same goes for Ramsey. Song didn't do much offensivelly but that's not his job anyway, he had a solid game as usual. Walcott was not great, second half he played a bit better but he has to do more. Oxlade-Chamberlain was probably our best player even though in the first half he wasn't on the same page with Rosicky and Walcott in the passing game. Regardless, he was dangerious and exciting throughout the whole game.RVP scored a great goal but also missed a chance that he should have scored.
I was actually excited at the beginning of the game because it looked like Wenger finally showed some balls in a big game by starting Oxlade-Chamberlain and then subbing Djourou. Little did i know it would all be undone with his stupidity to put Arshavin in the game. So this one is on you Arsene! As i said in the last post: Europa League here we some...
