RVP played for arsenal for the last 8 years, perfectly acceptable to mention him in here tbh.

But if you do you will be told not to then insulted.:rolleyes:

Ah cop on and stop being so bitter, he the best striker in the league, most of us won't forget how dangerous he is.

I don't think that's being bitter, it's just not wanting to see a flurry of posts in the Arsenal thread about a player who doesn't play for Arsenal.

Anyway back to Arsenal, great game today. Jenkinson made a few bad decisions early on but I think that was just nerves since he settled down making it 3 very good performances from him.

Giroud I thought was great and looks like only a matter of time before he scores, made some great runs but was unlucky on two occassions not to score.

I'm ok with you not being into that, its no reason to have a go at people who are though. We're all on the same side in this thread at the end of the day.

But that's bollocks, other players names get thrown around here all the time.
It's only because its a player who was so good for Arsenal last season and decided to **** off.

Soups123 · 02-09-2012 05:22PM

Have to say it was great watching us today solid, creative, the break coming back into our play and at no stage panic stations.

Delighted with 10 of the 11, surprised how well Mert handled Suarez have much more fate in him now, Jenks did great on a difficult afternoon with the fans pushing Sterlings every move, Verm seems to be loving captaincy definately the type we need, Arteta was class another captain on the pitch. Diaby was immense, Cazorla quality, Podolski great goal and Trojan work on the sides like Oxo.

Giroud struggled not really feelings his contribution yet or confident with what he brings, first goal will be key will know after that how he'll settle. Really hope he settles we look strong all over the park with good option a goalscorer will make all the difference in our trophy hunt

Great result for Liverpool today beating Arsenal 2-0

Ok well sorry, thought you were being serious that's why I called it bitter.

Galvasean · 02-09-2012 05:26PM

I actually thought Jenkinson was awful in the first half, but composed himself and looked good in the 2nd half.
Manonne has poor command of the box, but his shot stopping was pretty good overall.

How long 'til Bac gets back BTW?

SDTimeout · 02-09-2012 05:28PM

Giroud's movement up top is excellent. I'm confident he will turn good.

He was very good defending but useless on the ball game it away really bad at times

No one mentioned it here I don't think but wenger said after the game they got really good news about jack and five him a month tops
Can't wait to see him with 10 on his back

Probably 2-3 weeks.

Verm is a born captain, you could see him constantly talking to the rest of the team. Can't say I ever saw either of our previous 2 captains doing that.

02-09-2012 05:31PM

He is, but it feels this year like we have a few captains on the pitch.
Probably thanks to Bould

The other two captained with there play but it's not enough yes lead by example but it's also about character and attitude, I much prefer my captain being a tough centre mid or centre back.

Arteta plays like captain too, two smashing leaders on the park

Agreed, I always though a striker especially is a bad choice for captain since they can get isolated in games sometimes. Regardless of how a game is going a centre back/midfielder will be more involved in the play.

We don't need a lb either Gibbs is immense

He did have a great game.
I seen him defending a corner at one stage by jumping for the ball, something our lb don't usually do
The defending is making it far easier to watch Arsenal without worrying about conceding to silly chances and defending.

wonga77 · 02-09-2012 05:47PM

Bould has already put a huge stamp on the team. The whole defensive unit look more solid and clued in, though there will be far tougher tests ahead

The organisation from the team is brilliant when we lost the ball ten players straight back into position behind the ball all talking and working hard

I like watching that as much as our sexy football

bad2dabone · 02-09-2012 05:53PM

great team showing today, hurt my knee celebrating in the pub though

my liverpool fan best friend was seriously depressed.

Galvasean · 02-09-2012 05:54PM

I have to agree. If I was watching a match last season where we were 2-0 up with ten minutes left on the clock I would have been very skeptical of our ability to hold on to the lead. I wasn't worried today at all, so much more organised was our defense.

HazDanz · 02-09-2012 06:18PM

One negative about today though having looked back on the game was our crossing. The quality was very mediocre at times for Giroud to get a head onto.

gosplan · 02-09-2012 06:56PM

Some serious positives when you compare our performances, goals or not, this year to previous ones.

You can clearly see that more experienced heads has led to calmness on the pitch.

Roger Sterling · 02-09-2012 07:00PM

Good win for ye today lads. Made it look quite easy in the end. Proved your suprriority in pretty much every department I thought.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 02-09-2012 07:28PM

Few of the lads playing sitting volleyball :pac:

I think tomorrow could be the game Carzola is really gonna kick into life. He's looked so busy and with Liverpool not playing 10-0-1 like Stoke and Sunderland have, I think he could be the key.

Commentators eye.

Wonder which bottle of wine Wenger is opening tonight.
