Razzler Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I do like the Ox, I await the crushing pressure of expectation to ruin him but it's nice to see a winger that has a trick when going past a man, not only pace. I only just realised when the commentator mentioned his father is ex-England international Mark Chamberlain, did not know that. Also apparently youngest scorer for Arsenal, taking over from Fabregas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llew_Arshavin23 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Away from the substitutions issue once again, we need to go out and capitalise on this Blackburn team. Another goal or two may well be vital considering that this race for fourth will inevitably come down to goal difference. We can't step off the pedal, so to speak.

Frankchickens1 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I think Arsenal have stopped trying to score. They want a lot of points, so they can get into the Champions League, but dont want their goal difference to be too good, because if they miss the Champions league they dont want to end up in the Europa League Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sy13 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Where are Sy and djvandyke? I'm right here thanks. So we won 7-1 against the 10 men of an awful Blackburn side. What exactly is your point? Are we guaranteed 4th? Did we win the Champions League? Do we suddenly have an acceptable squad to challenge for the title? Are Park, Diaby, Chamakh etc now good enough to challenge others like Arteta and Vermaelen for starting places? The fact is even if we won 35-1 it wouldn't change anything apart from goal difference. It's the 4th Feb and that's the first 3 points we've taken against Fulham, Swansea, United and now Blackburn. Still nowhere near good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Would you agree that between the end of the last match and this point in time right now, Arsenal have performed as well as they possibly could?

Would you agree that the result and performance today will quite dramatically improve the atmosphere inside the stadium and more importantly inside the dressing room? Did you enjoy the game today?

My guesses are that they would STILL be moaning, some people are just born to moan! When AW and the board start making positive and sweeping changes for the better then I will stop moaning. Today we got a good result but Blackburn were utterly dire. I really think Newcastle or Sunderland would have put at least 5 past them. Yes it will give the players a lift but the issue is we don't have the right players at the club anyway. I'm treading old ground and I'm not going into it again now but don't be so blinkered thinking we've turned a corner. We simply won a home game. Sobering isn't it?

Retro Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 This is what I've been saying all along - there's no balance. I don't mind complaints or criticisms, but when someone can't find anything positive to say even about a good win, you know their opinion is tainted and not worth bothering with (not that anyone does but you know what I mean).

x-man Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Just want to compliment Arteta and Coquelin for their performances today. They won't get the same headlines as RvP, AOC or TW14, but both did their jobs well and have a level of consistency we could do with across the squad. Coquelin in particular certainly seems to be showing serious potential as a very important player in the future considering how well he's done so far while being played out of position; he has the tactical and positional awareness to maintain a high standard in an unfamiliar role and has generally been very good when actually played in midfield too.

Eugster Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Coquelin has impressed me HUGELY with his performances this season, a lot of players haven't earned new contracts this season (Theo could be used as an example) but Coq for one certainly has.

Sy13 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Did you enjoy the performance? What emotions did you feel during the match? Genuinely interested fwiw. I felt relieved to see an Arsenal game where I knew at half time we would score more and win it and I haven't felt that way for a while. The Ox and Coq were great yet again and it was just such a nice feeling to see a dominant and efficient display. However, it was one game and just 3 more points. We are still in the same position if Chelsea win and I still don't think we have anything near a strong enough squad to be successful * but I will gladly take a 7-1 thumping today. * successful = actually winning something, not finishing 4th with a crap squad.

Yeah well played Coq, doing a Flamini by starting at full back? Credit to Theo today as well, i'm a big critic and one game won't convince me but if he could perform like that consistently i'd be happy. Ox is brill.
