polishgenius Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 It's a good job Liverpool aren't in Europe this season coz they'd be fucked. Big problems in midfield and defence over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polishgenius Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Unlike the mighty Manchester United?That just makes me an expert. Liverpool have all the same problems we do, except their strikers aren't quite as injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 barca lost at home, form has been a bit ropey recently (relatively). looks like a good time to have them on the horizon alex.Indeed. This is disconcerting, Barca has been off form for a good while now.It's really been some time since I saw their game and they really excelled. Messi is only just coming back and his absence was a recipe for a massive drop in form the last few years as well. City may be playing them at a time when they are still not back to their old form, and in a time when City is tearing teams a new one left and right. It could indeed be their moment. Neymar will not be back yet for the City clash either. Barca look stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Barca's tiki-taka era is dying with Xavi's career (I say that- it really died last season when Bayern flayed them). They've failed dismally in picking the right players to replace him and it's biting them in the arse now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Baelish Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why can't Arsenal ever make a game comfortable to watch? Just once I'd like to be able to sit back and relax, knowing they have the victory wrapped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mexal Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why can't Arsenal ever make a game comfortable to watch? Just once I'd like to be able to sit back and relax, knowing they have the victory wrapped up. That would be too easy. I wish Ozil would be a bit more assertive. I'd rather he shoot it instead of always trying to walk it in. ETA: Ox has been excellent today. Awesome to see. Who needs a strikers when you have CMs like Ramsey, Wilshere and Ox who can score (note: we do...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Haven't seen the Toure incident in question, though the comments here are making me laugh already. I really like Arteta in our DM role, he's miles ahead of Flamini in distribution, tackling and his positional sense. I like Flamini, but I feel Arteta is a lot better there. Especially against the better teams. Edit: As Tim Stillman points out on twitter, pushing AOC higher up the pitch in the second half was a good decision.

Mexal Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Edit: As Tim Stillman points out on twitter, pushing AOC higher up the pitch in the second half was a good decision. Agreed. Looked like he was playing the role more like Ramsey in the 2nd half. I was very happy to see him go right at goal when breaking through. Also, that 2nd goal shows how useful Giroud is to Arsenal when we have CMs like Ramsey/Ox/Wilshere who can finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorshach Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just wanted to point out that Victor Anichebe scored against Liverpool. That's how bad the Toure pass was - he allowed Victor Anichebe to score. Okay, allowing Carlton Cole to score is worse - but only marginally.

I ended up missing the first goal because of a call, but that was good finish. Also nice to see Santi with the assist. Podolski was not very good though, he really seems to have lost a yard of pace. Hope he can get better.Also, on the Kallstrom injury AW: 'It’s simple. He has a micro-fracture. Spartak share the cost as long as he’s injured. I had a choice to make. Bring in nobody or take him in. Available earliest at the end of February, latest mid-March”Edit: http://strettynews.com/a-new-unacceptable-low/ Good piece on United up there. If anyone wants a read.

Available earliest at the end of February, latest mid-March” I don't think Podolski is the best player for a game like today where the team has 6 men on the back line. He's better in a more open game. Rosicky was the right substitute for him with his injection of pace. I saw Wenger's comments and pretty much agree with them, especially since Arsenal aren't paying any wages to Kallstrom until he's healthy. So not really all that bad.
