Didn't watch the game but if read from what most people written here it must have been something to do with our defence. I don't understand this, other teams parking bus and we need to play passing around midfield to open up their space. While other teams want us to park our bus there so they can penetrate deeper into our weakling defence. That's why Arsene din really solve our problem there.

Where is RVP?

The ball is round anyway.

10pm would be ok, hope won't end up watching too many Maxis and MyEG ads tho. 4pm in UK = 11pm in Malaysia.

You're god damn right...Even Drogba is talking about playing as a team and not about individual solo. Arsenal is a team play, is not just about Cesc, and Im just bloody hope Cesc will leave too now or in the future, so that this bunch of Cesc whiners will stop being so annoying inside this thread.

And, Cesc did play vs MU/Chelsea on previous encounters and he didn't make much impact too...

You know those supporters who claim that without Cesc we'd probably lose every match there is....But they forgot, we start off the season with pretty good results, and during the thrashing of Blackpool (This newly promoted team not even half bad, and we thought we give them a lesson? No, it is because we're bloody good that one fine day without Cesc). I must said Cesc only contribute around 10% and they screamed like he has been God. And it's the same kinda people (from Arsenal) who whine about Drogba being some kinda superhero in Chelsea, but Chelsea they looked on team perspective man, not individual. To be frank I think it is a very shallow minded fans to think this way...

PS: Im ok with Cesc, he's good. But one of those days if he's off-form or injured I wouldn't mind AW to rest him too.

I don't think we need to sell Diaby, and one more thing why Diaby suddenly become a scapegoat for our defensive problems in the first place? He plays somewhat of a forward midfield, which means he needs to bring the ball up, whether if he gonna lose it or not the back there have to prepare for it. I think he's not bad, and just because a someone thinks that every passes can go inside the goal which probably sound very naive and like never been playing football.

This kinda thinking is like "ok u pass wrong to someone else is ok, fall back..." and "Damn shit, stop trying to do something fancy and u lose the ball im gonna shit on you"!! If people don't take risk, stop being creative, and everything is predictable...Will this still be called Arsenal? Give him a break ok... I don't even remember he playing like whole straight 3 - 4 games, and then people can fully judge his capability. That's so bloody ignorant.

I din watch Chelsea game so I don't know...Some people say he played alright, some say not. So my point is still goes back to u can't judge a player who doesn't play much and then keep whining about who should be playing. That is just so annoying, and I think midfielder is not just about speed up a certain movement...there's whole lotta other things need to consider at the field too.

I think Abou will eventually become great if he and AW stop listening crap from LYN Cesc whiners and just try to focus on football.

It always happen to all those Cesc whiners, who thinks that without Cesc in that list we can't win anything. This game I like it, because it looks experimental, and it's a home game. So, I was ok with it and is a great chance for any manager to experiment this formation.

PS: Eboue did pretty good too.
