Arsenal Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

Didn't think Fenerbache were too bad when Chelsea played them last season. Things must have turned for the worse since Aragones has taken over. Good start though from Arsenal.

Shocking defending :mad:

Ha, this game is crazy. Stupid bloody power cut made me miss the first 2 goals. Still, 2 more since...

OPENROAD

Yes!!!

Gonzovision

Wish I could watch this instead of United and Celtic

Frisbee

Had money on Dunne to score last night - O.G.
Silvestre tonight O.G.

Maybe when we play United ill put money down on Ferdinand and Vidic to score...

Glad I bet on Ade, Walcott, Diaby to score.
Just need Nasri, fab and denilson to score now... :P

Sorry about that man. Have you got ITV 4 because it is on live as well as Setanta Sports Ireland.

Our defending is fairly shocking so far....
We're lucky to have a two goal cushion

Gonzovision

No stuck with Rte and lack of decent broadband:mad:

To be fair we are without our first choice cbs.

Frisbee

True.

But Song looks determined to get sent off and Silvestre hasnt seemed switched on yet.
Eboue and Clichy looking comfortable though

I agree it is a worry, especially on set pieces, actually think Silvestre will be a good signing but it will take him a few games to settle in.

Good point. I think Song has to come off at half time or we're gonna end up with ten men...

We have, but will be delighted if we get the three points tonight and keep picking up wins while playing badly, we have to hit a good patch soon.

Pepe LeFrits

Song & Silvestre have been absolutely appalling and the midfield is doing absolutely **** all to shield them. It looks like we're playing a 4-1-5 formation with two Pascal Cygans at centre-half.

Gonzovision

By the sounds of it the Turks must me really bad.

One good point I think we can take is that Diaby is looking very tidy.
Aliaksandr who??

Leave it out mate. Fenerbache may be 10th in their league right now but they are no mugs. You can see they are closing Arsenal down very quickly, getting in front of them putting them off. When we have had the ball we have looked very dangerous and opened them up. Aragones obviously had a set up going into tonight which went out the window after 10 mins. Aside from that they have looked very dangerous and could have had 3-4 themselves. The young Gunners have done brilliantly well so far. Song had want to be careful though. Let's hope for more of the same in the second half.

Game over 4-1 Song assist from Silvestre

song song song

4-1 Brilliant finish.

Well taken too

Quazzie

Did song and Silvestre forget that we change sides at half time?

Frisbee

Great game from Diaby. Gave him a standing ovation down the telly

Ramsey to score

Frisbee

Told Ya

Quazzie

Are you psychic? Great goal by Ramsey.

Could Diaby be the missing link for Arsenal. Looking at him tonight he was at the heart of everything that was good about Arsenal. He linked defence and attack and covered the midfield very well. Definitely my MOTM.

Abu seemed to be playing in the old Hleb Champs league role - just behind the striker - but a little ahead of the midfield. Although he can have his off days.
fener were particulary bad. Song was dreadful, so was silvestre. Eboue has to learn to shoot. And as for Adebayor - Wont get 30 mil for him now...

Pepe LeFrits

Dunno about Diaby, I can't see where he is supposed to play. He isn't a winger, he isn't a second striker and he doesn't look like a central midfielder either, at least not in a 4-4-2. European nights in a 4-5-1 seem to suit him. He doesn't look like the answer to the Flamini-replacement question unfortunately.

Amazing to win 5-2 away from home without actually playing well. Usual story really, apart from the finishing being excellent tonight. Our midfield was far too porous and our defence was all over the gaff. We still need a CB and a DM in January.
