nah.. that'll only put a halt to his development. Walcott needs more time on the pitch. Eboue has been good coming from FB. Rotating him and Sagna seems like a good idea at the moment.

oh.. forgot to mention Clichy. I've said it before, if he didn't venture forward much and just cover 2/3 of the pitch, it'll be hard for people to get past him. Thankfully, he did that today. only going forward when needed. I think it's because most of our attacks came from the right side and also Nasri was doing a very good job maintaining possession on the left.

I can see now why Barca was interested in Eboue. ;0

eboue shud make gud partnership wif rosicky... or perhaps clichy + rosicky; eboue + arshavin..

walcott lost his touch, jz keep on running - but cant contribute much... shud play as lone striker and wait for long pass perhaps

Walcott should try and learn from Gabby. These two are kinda similar..

striker is his fav position. It's AW way of nurturing his strikers. RVP came from left wing before. Bendtner did his time on the right. so does Henry. I think Walcott needs his time there and we just need to be patience with him. sure he got the pace but like i said before, he still needs to learn to control and make that killer pass. I'm all for playing him more with Eboue. I can't see him playing with Sagna because Sagna is someone who likes to cross first, think later. hehe sorry but i think that's him.

inb4 from man u fan troll


did man u play negative football? It justifies lately with goal conceded


inb4 from man u fan troll


Ask SAF buy gosling and MU...

you re WINRAR

lol

Sagna only mentality is trying to get the ball into the box, well thats how I see it.

u mean gabriel agbonlahor? yeah.. i think Walcott should look at gabby and learn when to control, when to shoot and develop more of his upper body. hehe

agree with u abt walcott especially the bolded part..walcott seems to lose out most of the time when it comes to body strength..looks very fragile to me.and he is kinda one dimensional,if he doesnt have his pace with his current state to be honest would be more of a liability. anyway 3 points from a nervy match and EBBBOOOUUUEEEEEEE my MOTM!

yeah.. Eboue the cult hero now.

sagna cross is more like a clearance, not a pass.. he crossed and hope sum1 can reach it...

seems sagna workrate has dropped.. very tired perhaps..

how frequent those fb need to overlap each match + need to challenge body charge n speed of opponent offensive force - too much compared to other team's fb... arsenal lack of creativity n force require fb assistance all da time..

It a good win, as long as it a win, it would help us in our tittle running.

Walcott really need to learn some of the other skill need to became a good striker, cause other than his pace, he was unable to offer anything else to the team.

You know, I felt Eboue is more effective than Sagna actually, he always give defenses problem, not only against weaker team, but also strong team.

Yep at the same time commited to the defence when needed.

Well.. defensively, Sagna is more solid compare to Eboue actually. Eboue had his nervy moments at times and if he is on an off day, you'll see his diving antics before long. I think that's why AW still prefer Sagna in RB position. Eventhough he crosses to no one, he did his part in defence though. Our defense mostly leaking from the left side. Clichy has yet to find his form, having been out a lot this season. Pity that Gibbs is out.

should jones score, I think ramsey should be at fault...
IMO ramsey lack the composure in midfield today, he lost a few key possession needlessly on couple of occasion.
wonder what's wrong with him....

anyway on a more positive note, I thought nasri was superb today....taking on players, not shy to shoot...even a bit of skills to show today...
He deserved a goal today...

yep.. that's why i said that Silvestre is using his experience to cover for his lost of pace. Ramsey had a decent game but he really needs to learn to make slpit second decision. Overall, it was OK.

Well, recently Sagna have not been as solid as we hope he would, goals have been leaking from his side too, though not as bad as the left sometime.

But I felt lately AW should use Eboue more, because there have been near to no penetration by our players on the opponent defense recently.

His diving antics is not as bad as some ppl would think, but still hope he have change it though. What Arsenal lack in recent game are penetration, no matter it against strong or weak opponent, it seem the team cant penetrate opponent defense much, but with the Eboue introduction lately, it seem the problem is not as bad as it was few match ago.

y arshavin is not played? is he injured?

totally agree with that..

When bent was through on goal, though not legal but I thought silves did well there apart from letting bent shoot..
Luckily almunia was quite solid today....

Yes, Ramsey had an OK outing today but when captain cesc says his that good, there must be something in him.. apart that we already know that his caused man utd & arsenal chasing after his signature two summers ago..
So that raised the expectation bar on him no?

Yeah we won....

moreover MU lose...

chelsea win tho...

almunia always make my hearts beat fast...

Fabregas penalty also ...

walcot need to improve other skill than his pace...
