AyeDubbleYoo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why the fuck would you bring Haidara on in that situation? Makes no sense whatsoever. He can get wide and cross it to Shola. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsah Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 That is EXACTLY why HBA should not start every game. I coach kids with more awareness of what's going on around them... Jesus Glad you noted that because i was just.......argh..... Guy created more than anyone else in half the time. Granted he was a bit greedy but if he wasn't greedy he wouldn't be Hatem. Well yeah, everyone is focusing on those two shots, ok they were very greedy but like f*** he's selfish all the time. He damn good will create chances if we actually played him, like last week. I know criticising HBA on here goes against the grain, but he was poor and looked disinterested against Stoke until two reds gave him the space / time to look good...

Ronaldo Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Shola and his constant selection from the start or the bench is a total disgrace. Utter waste of flesh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Arsenal will not win the league, unless they iprove their striking options and improve their squad in Jan. They have quite a few weak spots, imo. They were missing Ozil and Ramsey tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have created chances from those ridiculous shots if he'd had half a brain. What like last week ? or most of the other times he's played. Or are you basing him being selfish all the time on those two chances today.

Yorkie Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Krul - 6. Alright. Debuchy - 9. Excellent, didn't put a foot wrong at the back and was dangerous going forward. Williamson - 9. Thought he was absolutely tremendous. The guy has just completely regenerated. Coloccini - 7. Decent. Santon - 5. Rubbish at LB - bad touch, constantly lost the ball. Better on the right. Anita - 6. A lot of nothing mixed with some useful touches. Constantly offered himself for the ball. Tiote - 7. Would've been a brilliant performance if not for that utterly stupid foul that led to the goal. Combative and positive all game, though. Sissoko - 6. Some nice touches and a good driving force down the wing. Flattered to deceive. Cabaye - 7. Grew into the game with some nice passes and real tenacity. Gouffran - 6. Usual mix of work-rate and occasional goal threat. Nowt amazing. Remy - 6. Struggled to get into it but had some really nice touches, especially in the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 HBA needs to wise up a bit, bad decision making really costs us. He's got so much to his game apart from that. I do agree in a way - but I think a lot of what clouds his judgement on the pitch is down to how he introduced into a time-pressured situation. I'm not exonerating him or giving him a free pass btw, just explaining why I think he plays as he does when we're chasing / need a goal in a very limited time frame.

Dyeyzzon Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why the f*** would you bring Haidara on in that situation? Makes no sense whatsoever. Quite a lot seemed to switch when he came on. Haidara LB, Moving Santon forward to RW (which he did okay in). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bimpy474 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why the fuck would you bring Haidara on in that situation? Makes no sense whatsoever. Because we went to wing backs, Haidara left and Santon right. Well that's what Pardew was telling them, didn't quite look that shape in the end.

JJR99 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Both sides were poor, we probably deserved a point on the balance of play. Debuchy was fantastic, by far the best man on the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

heero Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 we are better than arsenal , they don't play football, I fought they did, and i love them for it but hey come out here to defend <a href="http://reactiongifs.com/?p=17725"><img src="http://www.reactiongifs.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/minion-wha.gif"></a> Think when he says Arsenal he mean Newcastle just thinking about today we deserve a point at least, Off to bed. way to drunk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exaggeration. Didn't dictate the play but it was a tenacious and dogged performance mixed with two or three nice passes, which didn't quite make their target.

alexf Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Soft goal from a soft freekick. Shame really as they really didn't have too many good chances. Thought we waited too long to have a proper go at them. We are a tough team to stop when we are attacking at home and we should have piled the pressure on soon. Still though solid performance and we were unlucky not to take atleast a draw from that. First goal was always going to be crucial. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why the f*** would you bring Haidara on in that situation? Makes no sense whatsoever. That didn't help either, formation was lost and we became chaotic. Nah. We switched Santon to right wing specifically because he did that & created a clear opportunity seconds later. Santon did well on that side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I reckon the Arsenal fans at my work will say that they were hanging on last 20 minutes and didn't show too much before that, regardless of us not fashioning many chances. They'll see that as a hard fought win where they could easily have lost points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 ffs man, no other player would have picked it up at half way and end up in the box a few seconds later with a chance at goal. Criticising him for that is pretty narrow-minded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimburst Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Aye, we had plenty of pressure, I was really happy to see, but it's clear we don't train very much in terms of dominating possession, we just make consistently poor decisions. We retain the ball across our back four when chasing the game, wasting our own time, only to hoof it and lose it. We keep the ball well in midfield in periods of sustained pressure, but we never get it to our strikers, unless it's shola's head. Our mid range passing is completely lacking incisiveness. We can't switch quick enough, can't put pressure on opposing players through well weighted passes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
