Arsenals 2nd Today.

[Gallowgate Toon]

Some of Taylor's heroics yesterday however prove that the goal against Bolton was his fault. When Arshavin was clean through and Taylor blocked it from the RB position, that's exactly what he should have done with Gardner.

 

And the Setanta commentator Burley? proved that's what Taylor should have done with the comment to do with Gael Clichy 'that's exactly what a fullback should do, be fully aware of runners, not be on their heels watching play from the side instead tracking runs to prevent goals'.

Its frustrating really. They really were causing us no problems whatsoever with Bassong and Taylor on the pitch. Yet its made out like they weren't performing Arsenal hadn't steppe it up.

 

Absolute bollocks.

They weren't though, the game totally changed when these 2 went off.  Bar a few close shaves, we weren't getting battered to half the degree after the 2nd and 3rd.

 

We could easily have been 3-0 down at half time. We played well for an hour but let's not dress it up as something it's not.

we could as easily have been 2 up

 

Yep. Just pointing out that Nixon's opinion that they were causing us no problems whatsoever before Bassong/Taylor went off is patently wrong.

He was probably talking about leftbacks tucking in to track runs down the left, not rightbacks running across the central defence to track runs down the opposite flank.

No because it was when Clichy blocked Lovenkrands who was on the right side of the penalty area, which is the opposite side he was meant to be defending on.
