I just do not understand some people. Unless Arsenal play their fluent flowing football and score a minimum of 4 goals they are considered to be below par, or they are accused of failing to be able to grind out results with 'ugly' performances when their 'A' game is not working. You can't have it both ways. Had you commented on our failure to convert our early chances, thus making things harder for ourselves, I could have agreed, but to describe the performance as 'abject' shows no understanding of reality. The team were clearly tired, and had to put up with some industrial challenges from the opposition players. A dodgy penalty as the result of out and out cheating was the only way the opposition were able to score but we still managed to rally ourselves to gain a point. This is not the time to be negative. We all would have preferred 3 points, but it wasn't to be. We got a point and an away goal. That is something to be thankful for at the end of the day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-10509183693498810832008-09-18T16:23:00.000+01:002008-09-18T16:23:00.000+01:00I agree the formation wasn't the best as the link ...I agree the formation wasn't the best as the link wasn't there but Kiev were very cautious and defensive. Fab tried to make things happen in otherwise which was a static Arsenal midfield. The movement wasn't as good from the wide men but once again it didn't help that kiev were defensive. We were also probably tired though this was a decent result if u look at the face of it.<BR/>http://arsenalcolumn.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-69444064338256657162008-09-18T05:45:00.000+01:002008-09-18T05:45:00.000+01:00@ Anon 11.49Did u even WATCH the game? if u did u ...@ Anon 11.49<BR/><BR/>Did u even WATCH the game? if u did u must have been blind. It was a 4-3-3 or rather a 4-5-1 before song was subbed off for bendtner. <BR/><BR/>its like farking obvous van persie and walcott were playing on the wings and fabregas was right in between and slightly ahead of denilson and song.<BR/><BR/>And i do agree with the blogger that its 2 points lost if u all watch the game u would haf seen how crap kiev was. their lack of confidence in themselves can even be seen in the shoot on sight 25 - 30 yards shots which were nv in danger of hitting the net. <BR/><BR/>wenger overestimated their midfield really and by playing a conservative 4-5-1 it was stifling fab's creativity and limiting van persie's skill to the flanks, not to mention van persie seldom tracks back to defend, neither can he tackle well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-15163116404024739032008-09-18T04:47:00.000+01:002008-09-18T04:47:00.000+01:00couldnt have said it better especially on gallas a...couldnt have said it better especially on gallas and arsene mind set b4 the game as it reflected in the way arsenal play...too much respectAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-52258682245814071592008-09-18T04:44:00.000+01:002008-09-18T04:44:00.000+01:00good game for us..if you rate us so low..then what...good game for us..if you rate us so low..then what the hell do you rate dynamoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-68377343665485039472008-09-18T03:44:00.000+01:002008-09-18T03:44:00.000+01:00Playing away in Eastern Europe has been pasticular...Playing away in Eastern Europe has been pasticularly daunting for us.
