2nd half has been absolutely awful.

 

Plenty of positives to be taken out of the 1st though.

 

Same as Old Trafford.

 

Did you watch the two games at all?

 

What were the positives from the first half at Old Trafford? Apart from the peverse joy to be gained at watching Rooney miss sitters.

 

Yep, I was there. Were you?

 

No. But if you can't take any more positives out of this than Old Trafford I worry.

 

Just wonder when the Keegan blinkers are going to come off.

 

No-one's claiming it was a world cup winning performance here. It's just plain as could be that in the first half we created more chances than we had in a month under Allardyce. Lehmann was actually forced to make saves. We played the ball out from the back instead of just hoofing it straight back to them. Our wingers actually got past their men and put crosses in. At times we strung together over ten passes in a row. That is an improvement. The end was rubbish, no doubt, but when you look at the subs bench for both sides that isn't so surprising.

My faith in the lads hasn't been dented by that, we are on the up... if we could have just sustained that first half performance. 

 

Time to get brutally pissed ....  >:(

What did Taylor do?

 

Asked Adebayor to score, basically. He was misjudging the passage of the ball all day long and did so for the first goal. The ball hit the post and came out, he misjudged where it was gonna end up and flailed a leg at it. It landed at Adebayor's feet and he scored.

Watched all the game

 

Summary

 

Slightly edged Arsenal in the first half, Owen should have scored

 

Absolutley void of cutting edge in the 2nd half, once we go one down we are unable to sustain any pressure at all due to our lack of pace. Comfortable win for Arsenal

 

+++++++s

 

Duff

Zog

Jose

Cacapa

 

 

-------------s

 

Butt

Carr

Smith

Owen

 

In what way does Carr belong down there?

 

He gives stupid fouls away to stop the attacker making a monkey out of him

He cannot pass

He cannot cross

He cannot tackle

 

Not the worst game Carr has ever played but thats not really a compliment

Thanks for the insult though, which means nothing seeing as girls actually know ZERO about football ;)

Taylor's a liability more often than not I'm afraid. The odd exuberant celebration and decent performance changes nowt.

 

On the other hand, Caçapa had a very good game imo. Infact, him and Carr were the only two players to have equally as good first halves as second halves, imo.

I don't believe people rating Carr below our other defenders. He saved all the others at least once and did his work efficiently. Was probably our best on park across the whole 90.

Sounds like shite, tbh. Put in a smashing cross in the first half.

Taylor did not look so good. Arsenals passing, touch and movement are years ahead of us. On a positive note we did try in the first half and with some additions this is a top 6 - 8 team.

Have to get rid of Duff, he has become a very negative player on the whole.

Lack of movement from most of the team after first 30 minutes.

 

Lack of inspiration from the bench, last 30 minutes the cameras all too often showed McDermott, Keegan and Pearson sat there like defeated men with no ideas.

 

Same result mid-week.  Someone said Keegan had a lot of work to do, ....and then some.

NEWSFLASH: Arsenal are one of the best teams in the country, nay in Europe. They've not lost at home yet this season, they've scored 26 and conceded 8.

 

We also happen to be missing some of our crucial players.

 

It's a shame for Keegan to have this lot twice in four days so early on because some knackers are going to start doing the Chicken Licken thing very soon.

They had 3 kids, a clown and a keeper on the bench, do you really think they would have made a serious difference?

Would agree with that bear in mind players still at ANC as well.
