Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Didn't want him for a many reasons, some of which we saw yesterday. He wasn't bad yesterday, but I can see him struggling in this league. Right, you didn't want the guy who is better than all of our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Impressive individually, but blatantly out of synch with the rest of the Arsenal team. It's going to take a lot of work to get him to mesh better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 a lot of good from him yesterday but the final ball was no where to be seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginola Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He looked good yesterday, but you'd expect most wingers to look good when put up against Ryan Taylor. Difficult to make an accurate judgement based on yesterdays game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He looked good in parts but on more than one occasion he messed up a decent situation. Will improve as he gets used to the league and the team. More generally, Arsenal looked like Arsenal. No change. Just confirmed what a struggle it'll be for them this season (by their standards).

Gash Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We are appealing the red... Just don't. He raised his hands you know the rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Could that be seen as a frivolous appeal and he'll get an extra game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Not entirely sure what Arsenal are going to get out of an appeal. I mean OBVIOUSLY it's not going to be successful. Their guy slapping Barton in the face in clear view of the referee and several TV cameras :lol: Are they just trying to delay the ban - is that what will happen? Hope the FA give him an extra game on top. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 In fairness he whacked a couple of decent crosses into the mixer but they had no one attacking them. He's probably used to having an out and out forward like Sow about to bury them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 on what possible grounds can they appeal? other than Joey Barton started it On the grounds that Gervinho was merely removing a speck of dust from Joey's brow, after Joey had kindly helped him up earlier.

There was a mosquito on Barton's cheek, just about to have a bite. Just helping a fellow professional by giving it a slap, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishmael Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Actually, this Gervinho seems a bit of a nutter? First game and he's already slapping people and throwing himself to the floor to try and cheat Arsenal to victory. Might have a new bad boy lads.

alexthegreat Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 We are appealing the red... Just don't. He raised his hands you know the rules. This is the rule: A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball. Andy Gray et al started saying 'raise your hands and your off' but it isn't actually the rule. Referees consistently interpret it that way though. I doubt its worth an appeal but doubt its frivolous either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt its worth an appeal but doubt its frivolous either So if violent conduct = red, it begs the question as to why Barton wasn't sent off. I don't agree, fwiw, that either player did anything particularly nasty - it wasn't like Song's. But using this definition, if one goes, surely the other has to?

That you Arsene? yeah you'd suspect that Arsenal will make that point during their appeal. Nothing further can happen to Barton though as he was given a yellow on the spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
