Guest optimistic nit Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good result, shows how decent we can be if we've got players in the correct positions. But I guess it's still Big Sam out and Shearer in for some people. not really. zog was at left back, milner right mid, smith cm after viduka came on and we had no right winger for the full 90. still we battered the fuck out of the cheating diving bastards.

Jackie Broon Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good result. F****** great performance! Feel proud of every one of our players. Now we have to build on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farfrompuken Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Played really well, hope we build on this! Smith MOM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordie_Paul Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Good result, cracking performance. Every player was looking to chase balls down and pressurise Arsenal. Cannot grumble about that in any way, shape or form!! Well done lads! Smith MoM in my opinion! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Excellent. And actually a decent game of football to watch for a change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Awesome, well worth me taking the day off work. Thumbs up Thought we were going to nick it with those 3 corners in a row. 4 corners actually Oh and Milner MOTM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Can I see light at the end of the tunnel? This and Blackburn have been huge steps forward. giant leaps. hopefully the press are off our backs now and we can get on with it. great performance tonight, smith m.o.m for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowndsy Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 well deserved draw. alan smith is much better up front. credit to him and the rest of the lads for the result. was expecting the worst. well done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 We were fucking immense today, tbh. Best performance from us I've seen in a long time. Perfect tactics from Sam against Arsenal, perfect formation and spot on on team selection today. Smith was a beast up front, doesn't pose much of a threat when we're on the ball, but he keeps winning headers and puts great pressure on the defence. MotM for me Beye had a great game too, as did Milner and to a slightly less extent Taylor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest optimistic nit Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 i think bringing viduka on was a mistake. he's a good striker, but smith was doing really well up front with martins. emre should have been given a bit imo, and maybe we should have put enrique on for 15 and given zog time at LW. very good defensive performance second half. arsenal created fuck all apart from counters when we were going for it. even taylor and rozy did well. brilliant finish for the goal.

ElDiablo Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 The midfield put in a monster performance in, Butt & Smith were absoloutely superb in particular. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Smith was just awesome. He was winning balls regularly against two centre backs who are normally dominant in the air. The formation would work a whole lot better if we could replace Martins with a player with any kind of ball control. The commentators seemed to be talking about the game that they were expecting to see, not the one out there tonight. Well done lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
