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


Recommended Posts

Seems to me that Cabaye has been told to sit deeper than Tiote. I would swap them two and also send Obertan out right and give Ben Arfa the free role.

Interesting what Pardew said in the week about needing to be still in the game with 15 to go. I wonder if there is any chance of us going two up front if its still level then.

Tiote needs to start paSsing forward, cabaye needs to stay in position, defnd a little higher and we are the match of this lot.

Ba hasn't had a bouncew his way neither ben arfa apart from that sublime left foot... Only one plce where it couldn't be saved.

By the way, Colo, my wife is yours... Unreal! (Him, not her!)!

That celebration must be a French thing. Danny Simpson tries to join in but starts jumping around like he's in Bijou.

silly challenge towards the end by tiote, thought he was gonna get booked.

 

santon so far has been making our other fullback mr simpson look like world class, well done lad.

 

first 20mins i thought obertan was having a blinder with those cutting first touch passes .

 

cabaye another disappointing outing from the lad.  williamson looked comical.

 

the goal celebration pretty much summed up how we been playing for the last dozen of games, like zombies.

You what?, he got to the ball first.

Plus marks for: Pardew's Tactics and team selection, Ben Arfa, Tiote, Krul annoying RVP

 

Negative marks for: Williamson (we all knew he had no pace but he normally at least had a defensive brain, neither have been evident this year, have to replace in the summer), Cabaye (getting stuck in but some woeful possession and passing. Inability to pass the ball and keep possession, communication and marking at the back.

 

Side note: Other than McMannaman being a prick about the Manure win, the commentary has been decent. The are giving Obertan a hard time, I don't think he is doing too bad tbh, got the assist. Just looks a little out of place at times going forward he is harrassing and getting back better than Ba in that position though.

 

Can take these if we sharpen the fuck up at the back, talk to each other, stop giving needless possession turn overs from brainless passes.

Colo keeps playing it long too often, as if he's feeling the need to after holding onto it for a while. Play it out, man.

 

Cabaye, Jonas and Obertan haven't been great. Ben Arfa will score goals in the final third if we get him on the ball.

 

yes he does because his CB partner is shaky as hell with ball

Simpson and Santon have been excellent. 

 

Mike Williamson's s***, I'd sooner have Perch start.

 

I think Santon has been poor defensively. Cabaye also not having a good game. Obertan anonymous

Frankly we deserved to concede an immediate equalizer if that was the goal celebration.

 

?

 

HE SAID WE DESERVED TO CONCEDE AN IMMEDIATE EQUALIZER IF THAT WAS THE GOAL CELEBRATION!

 

No need for capslock you...

 

you what?.... Were you about to call me an asshole?

Has Santon been that bad like? I know RVP has had williamson doing about 300 rpm at times

 

fucking liability, counted more than 10 times he was out of position,  no agression, doesnt attack the ball when its in the air.

 

the kid seems comfortable as a winger, sadly he forgot he's suppose to be playing as left back.

Much better from us. Arsenal have only created one real chance other than the goal. We have looked dangerous. Cabaye has been missing but he is playing deeper than Tiote. Obertan has been more of the same. I'd like to see someone replace Obertan half way through this half.

Oh and Ba was getting the key to the city in Arsenals penalty box for the first half hour. They were playing so high and not picking him up. One point Guti should have played him clean through alot earlier which could well have resulted in our second goal.
