Thanks for the heads up, will look into it, i like soccernet's articles too, but i winded up checking teamtalk most of the time now due to the speed of news. soccernet has more quality analysis of the game tho.
I second both points, 1st of all great job by everyone who took the time and effort to anaylse and share their opinions, makes a good read esp during the week when nothing much is happening really =D keep them coming (although it is coming rather thick and fast, i gotta read more to keep up ! lol
about the points you made StarGhazzer, i agree that we should "tone up" It was already proven that our "play beautiful" is effective and doesnt sacrifice the winning mentality.. it's just that then we didn't have a plan B .. last season we had a variety, something we don't see as often but i hope we still have it... what has changed tho ... is that we're not changing our possesion into penetration and attacks.. The Arsenal team that wowed me over also had an average of at least 20shots attempts each game i think on average perhaps 20++ even 30 including off target and on la.. but it was that much compared to now.. we attack like mad and opponents eventually wears out.. then it was eventual that one of the teams during the season was going to give us that customary 7-0 , or 6-0 win ... we don't seem to get that anymore except for CL last season.. hehe despite our attacking arsenal in the armoury, we don't have the same firepower as we use to when we had henry, bergkamp, pires, ljunberg and co.. lets face it... henry, bergkamp are those who're almost one in a million, those that stand head and shoulders above most players of their generation. Count ourselves lucky to have been able to witness their talent on display. Too bad i didn't get to see more of the likes of zidane, original ronaldo at his primie, figo (my favourite footballer when i 1st started off and still is 1 of my favourites) , bergkamp.. although i did get to see alot of henry for us.. . magic and really set the world alight... don't see it as much with this generation of players.. in glimsps yes but hardly see much these days..
