GM Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Hmmmm... Not an awe-inspiring performance by either side. This game is there for the taking if we could just get a bit more possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Shola has been far more impressive than Ba tbh. The latter has done nowt aside from the Song yellow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 To put things in perspective, we're only down 40-60 on possession, and both teams have the same amount of goal attempts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 It's funny. Why are we so intent on launching it when we've bought a classy, small CM from France who likes to play the ball on the ground? It's almost like the manager doesn't know what he wants the team to do, which is why he's played two, tall, lumbering strikers and hasn't got a natural winger on to support either of them.

Incognito Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Phew...how we got to ht unscathed is mainly down to Colo's brilliance tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceMag Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 HT Coloccini COLOSSAL performance, that scaling run down the left wing 10/10 Imagine if we'd sell him? We'd get relegated, guaranteed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Except Raylor, we look pretty solid tbh. Not entertaining but that's not a bad half against Arsenal. We should play a bit more positive in 2nd half though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Didn't realise we signed Ben Foster (Re: OP) But i think we did ok, Barton has been good, so were Tiote and Colo, i really think it's unwise to play both Shola and Ba as they both seem to be similar type players. Raylor is getting raped by their players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Obertan would be a good sub, we need pace. Too bad it's not Marveaux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is there for the taking if we could just get a bit more possession. + Cutting egde + Quality on the ball + a bit of luck. +a left back to contain Gervinho + a pacy striker to stretch their defence.

taxfree Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Love our new team full of flair. Nah, poor match by us, but Arsenal haven't been impressing. We've got every chance here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gash Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Half time change needed, would like to see us come out looking like this. Szczesny Sagna-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Gibbs Song Walcott-Ramsey-Arshavin-Gervinho RvP Chamberlain for Arshavin after 10 minutes if we aren't winning.

lovejoy Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Collo has been outstanding. Game has passed cabaye by so far. Tiote hasn't imposed himself in the middle either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Anyone see that phenomenal touch by Shola where he brought down that high and long free kick by Ryan Taylor by the touchline despite pressure from two players? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Well first of all there are some right wankers posting on here as usual.
