Must be a relief for Chelsea that they may be out of their poor form and that Torres scored.
A bittersweet victory in my eyes. Sweet because it hopefully helps the team get out of the poor form they've been recently. Second I saw a much improved gameplay this time. More one-twos, more pace and more pressure off the ball and more clear chances created. Jack was amazing today. The bitter part was First, the way the goals came about. A completely undeserved first penalty and a second penalty that shouldn't have happened because of a previous incident. second was the fact that Ge...
If Arsenal finally turn on their beautiful playing style again then It doesn't matter who they draw. The match will be beautiful to watch for everyone no matter the result. If Arsenal don't it will be depressing especially for the Arsenal supporters like myself. Arsenal v malaga though could be a great match to watch. Real Madrid v Manchester United could be awesome as well.
Going from bad to worst. Early January investment needed specially in our CDM position even if Diaby gets back to fitness.
At least the young guns are doing fine...............
...............as for your sleepless nights, I wonder if procrastination had something to do with them.
Maybe, but a started for them might be out-off the question.
Such an interesting match. United are better at attacking, however their defense is just so poor at times, if not most of the time, so this may cost them if they don't at least improve for this game. As for City they seem more balanced than United, they may score less goals, however they also don't let that many in. Also IMO city has a better midfield than United unless they have injuries that I'm not aware of. So for me mainly because of United's defense I'll go for City ...
Yeah repeating his accomplishment from last year will be hard to match if not impossible. This is mainly because Man. United doesn't play just for him like Arsenal did last season. He has to share with Welbeck, Hernandez and Rooney depending on who plays with him.
You know things are bad when even a massive victory ends in massive defeat.
Chelsea need something, with the players they have they shouldn't be in this bad form.
This is probably what Man. City wanted ever since they got eliminated from the CL. They probably didn't want to deal with the Europa League and just concentrate on beating Man. United to the tittle again.
Everything was fine until Rosicky came off. It allowed Olympiakos to attack more comfortably knowing Arsenal had no creative CAM anymore. Otherwise I hope that the rest given to the rest of the players helps them turn on the style switch again.
As for finishing second in the group doesn't matter, there are really tough teams to play against in the next round either way.
This is the saddest thing that can happen to Arsenal. The man, the Legend that helped Arsenal move into a new era questioning if he should stay or leave, because a group of fans turn on him every time the results don't go the way they want.
absolutely deserved victory by Swansea just on the first half performance. Another one of these performances and Arsenal may just fall off the top 4 race completely. I hope some quality investment is done in January.
Uh oh, Chelsea has officially been sucked into the fight for 3rd and 4th place, Again. Now Hazard must be pissed, Torres still can't score and Rafa can't get a break.Roman doesn't care about the supporters and he will keep forcing Torres on games until he gets a decent striker (Falcao) it seems. I feel a new manager is waiting right now, but who will it be?
When I said invest more on superstars I didn't mean buy Torres expensive. What I meant was more established players that are cheap for or less than £21m as you mentioned. For example RVP got sold, Huntelar must have been cheap to buy at the beginning of the season. Song got sold, but no one came in and Arteta was sacrificed to be a CDM. Huntelar must have cost less than Podolski. Stekelenburg and Lloris I believe were cheap too. Buys like these may at help to appease the frustrated s...
Arsenal is lacking creativity when Cazorla isn't playing well or is being man marked all game long. Arteta can help with this since he isn't that bad at playing as a CAM either........We need a Song type payer for this to happen. Otherwise I hope that when Rosicky is back he plays well and stays injury free for the rest of the season.
Maybe if Arsenal invested a little more on big name players people would shut up. I've always supported Wenger and his way of dealing with things,I still do and will always. Ever since they announced the plans for the Stadium I expected the club to stay on a tight budget. However, I would like to know how much more is owed on that investment and all others related to the stadium so that I know when the purse might open up more for Star Players.........My fear however, is that it might be ...
The game at Aston Villa was just so pathetic. I can't believe how many times I saw our midfield players not moving to better positions to attack.....Cazorla was playing as a CDM for long periods of the game, so did Ramsey. Meanwhile, there was no one playing in between the Villa midfield and defense, when there were lots of space for someone to get the ball in there. The only one that seemed to notice and want to get there was oddly enough Koscielny, who had the clearest chance to score. ...
OK deal.........For the naming rights of the Stadium IMO Arsenal could have done better than that.
Do you think Chelsea will sell Torres when they bring Falcao(apparently it's happening) and buy another striker for back up, since Sturridge may be going to Liverpool at least in a loan deal?
