Wow, you're really not allowed to tackle these c*nts are you?

Absolute **** houses mate aren't they. Look at that ****ing dwarf Wilshire when he got tackled and he goes down like a little boy about to cry. Bossed them for 40 minutes and have just lacked a killer ball. Let them into it last 5 minutes but they were always gonna have a spell like that and Howard has been too drawer. We can win this though, just gotta keep doing what we were doing minus the last sloppy 5 minutes.

So boss up to the last 5 minutes. Let's hope it can carry on. Can't see Arsenal not scoring though.

Wilshere is a crying little ****, I hope that moan he had hasnt swayed webb

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hopefully all that chasing around Arsenal had to do that half will catch up with them late on. We at least have players on the bench that can make an impact. Some really, really good football that half.

A pleasure to watch us dominate the best team in the league this season on their own patch!

Good half of footie. Some lovely play from both teams.

Getting a decent back up keeper seems to have pushed Howard.

Barkley not looking even slightly out of place.

Ridiculous booking for Barry.

Overall though,even if we lose we should be massively encouraged by how well we have played.

 

[lungissimo]

That last 5 mins showed where we need to improve a lot and that is in the final move/ball.

We have been truly awesome in every other sense.

Yep the last ball is awful most of the time. Pienaar doesnt have a good game bring Del boy in!

I think we need somebody to play the no 10 position in the January window. Barkley, Pienaar, Deulo and Mirallas are all good at this moment in time but only up to a certain point.

We need somebody a bit more incisive with their passing. We have a huge striker in lukaku and we never try a pass in to his head from just outside the box. We are falling down in this area in general. Watched the Man U game again yesterday and really we weren't so good in the final third.

I don't know who we would get in but watching us in the last few games and in this first half thats what I'd like to see.

That is pretty low down on the list of priorities to be honest.

 

[davek]

Good half that, showing the nation what we can do to the acknowledged pass-masters.

A result to go along with this would be very nice.

 

[scratchnsurf]

Koscielny looks like Butthead from Beavis and Butthead

This is the kind of in depth analysis that sets this forum apart.

 

[Librarian]

Encouraging, the booking for Barry is a worry though, get at them again 2nd half blues!

 

[Big Fat Sam]

That might have been the best 40 minutes I've ever seen us play without scoring. Fantastic football. Let's get some shots out though lads ffs.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Very encouraging - this really could be a special season.

Webb is annoying me though, panders to whines and 'big players'.

Bet your house on Mirallas to get booked this half (on Wilshere)

Pretty true this. Showing that they can match the best side in the league away is pretty impressive. Although of course, the points are all that matter.

 

[meagher94]

maybe put mirallas up front take lukaku off and put delefau on

Taking Lukaku off is the last thing we should do.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

We need to be smarter with our chances. Until we start doing that we wont be a top team.
