Arsenal 2 - 1 Newcastle United - 12/03/12 - post-match reaction from page 50


Recommended Posts

Just got back to mates house in London. Gutted. Really thought we were going to nick a point there. Obertan once again was shit. Everyone else put a shift in. Williamson had a decent second half and Perch was acceptable. Simpson's throw at the end though...just shows he has absolutely no footballing brain. Will no doubt try and exonerate himself from all blame in his own mind.

 

Just listened to Pardew's post match interview. Hope he sticks to his word and has a different game plan against Norwich. Cisse in for Obertan please Alan.

Another thing which really irked me was how Rosicky made constant niggley little fouls yet Webb was straight on the case booking Tiote who'd pretty much done nothing worse. Was so predictable.

What did Van Persie actually do? I had my head in my hands for a good 3 minutes after Vermarlen's goal.

 

Had a bit of a go at Krul, the commentator suggested it was him saying to Krul about how he wouldn't be wasting time anymore.

 

Personally think it's been blown out of proportion. Can see why it'd piss opposition fans off.

 

Much ado about nothing. Krul gave some back, good to see some emotion.

Not the first time either:

I almost forgot, Obertan should have the book thrown at him for wasting that oppertunity at the beginning of the second half. One on one with Sagna, Ba unmarked in the middle and he waits on it before pulling back a horrid ball to Ben Arfa on the edge of the box, shocking play.

Throw the whole bookcase at him tbh, just in case the book misses.

Arse 'whiter than white' nal

 

That perception and their fans, who are up there with Liverpool's as the most annoying in the league in my opinion, means I developed a strong dislike for them over the last few years. Wenger also can't take losing and RvP is clearly a classless winner, tossers.

Very disappointed in our central midfield play today. We have the players and the capability to pass the ball around and create, yet from the time we conceded, the team seemed to concede the middle of the pitch to Arsenal and became content with sitting deep and trying to disrupt Arsenal, a strategy that is difficult to implement for so long (Neither Cabaye or Tiote did this particularly well anyway, imo). Jonas and Obertan were both extremely sloppy in an attacking sense, and Arsenal keyed onto Ben Arfa after he embarrassed them the once. He'll need to to learn ways to exert an influence on games in this league when we are not on top and dominating possession.

 

edit: Krul and Van Persie were at each other all match. I don't think less of either of them for it. Both are competitive. If anything, I thought Krul initiated the incident after the winner.

Silver lining - only one gruesome trip left to London this season. :(

 

We didn't concede 5 goals unlike our last 2 visits.  Improvement.
