ExiledGeordie Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Bucking the trend a bit here, but I didn't think we were bad at all today. Looked a team for once and, even though we didn't create many ourselves, we made a very good team look ordinary and really restricted their chances until the game was stretched. If we'd had Moussa playing, I think we could have won. We were crying out for a midfielder to push forward. First half I'd agree. Second half was mediocre personified. Yeah 1st half was alright, we had a little bit of purpose. Second half was the usual run out if steam, ideas, well everything really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Not seen it mentioned, but Arsenal put together their unbeaten run directly after being knocked out of the Champions League. They had nothing left but Premiership fixtures. Those who dismiss the Europa League / tiredness idea may wish to consider. Whereas we've won 1 in 6 since we were knocked out, including losing 10-0 in our remaining home matches. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. TC Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Had a quick look at the Stats (love those stats) and Anita had the highest attacking third passing success rate. And Colo/Taylor joint for chances created. What was Tiote's long pass success rate? After Cabaye went off he just seemed to enjoy spraying the ball into the stands.

Argument by analogy rather than logic is a bit dodgy, but I suppose in the end nothing can be proved here. I do seriously wonder though whether Arsenal's chances of a crack at the league would be enhanced if they weren't playing games in Europe, even though obviously I know it's important from the viewpoint of recruiting players, revenue etc At the end of the day though, do people really think these extra games have no relevance at all, especially if they involve long distance travel? For it not to matter, you'd need a seriously big and good squad, and / or be playing in a league that wasn't that competitive, surely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We rested players for the majority of the Europa games, especially in the earlier rounds. Pardew used that excuse after losing 3-0 at home to Sunderland, then we had a full week to prepare and recover for Liverpool at home...and got thrashed 6-0.

The bloke to the left of the image is absolutely tiny compared to the big angry grey haired fella next to him. That blonde lass at the back right, giving the fingers, the old dear next to her doesn't look pleased. Also the chubster in grey looks like he has blue horns.
