They know each other very well, personally and professionally. They know what to expect from each other. I was never worried about our CD when I saw both of them on the team sheet. Kolo and Silvestre should never play together. They're our worst CD pairing. Our other good pairing is Djourou with any one of the other CDs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-62637392588794900712008-11-10T16:35:00.000+00:002008-11-10T16:35:00.000+00:00If you watch the game, our balls into the box were...If you watch the game, our balls into the box were with quality and i tell you why, if you watch we didnt put it in first time on the run, we always took a touch, we always looked up and delivered great balls in. When you watch Clichy he normally just smacks it in on the run basically trying to whip em in with pace but with dodgy Van Der Saar in goal we only had to float em.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-75194268858680474272008-11-10T16:22:00.000+00:002008-11-10T16:22:00.000+00:00Now replace Den with Djourou for away games and ke...Now replace Den with Djourou for away games and keep RVP out of the team and you have yourself a title winning team.<BR/>Of course wenger will do neither of those things.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-850425131275482332008-11-10T12:20:00.000+00:002008-11-10T12:20:00.000+00:00A wonderful game of football where eventual winner...A wonderful game of football where eventual winner was the game itself.Arsenal edged out Man U but t was a game that could have gone either way. The entire team played well, but a few players were well below their mark. Cesc Fabregas is already looking a tired man, a pale shadow of himself from last season. Yes he is immensely talented and hence keep producing those moments of magic every once or twice in a game, and it was such a moment when he found Nasri in space for the second goal. The other player who appers quite leggy is Bentner. He missed quite a few chances with both his head and his legs. Both of them I think need a lil break. Also Arsene needs to play Djourou more. He is by far the best centre back in the squad. Next up - the villians, an excellent oppurtunity to distance ourselves from the chasing pack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-20987233750244632702008-11-10T10:47:00.000+00:002008-11-10T10:47:00.000+00:00My analysis before and after the game was better. ...My analysis before and after the game was better.

Best performance to date. As simple as that. Simple passes, good posession and strong at closing down Man U attacks. Brilliant performance!<BR/><BR/>Then I would like to see Diaby play behind Adebayor.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-79469187592628020662008-11-09T22:09:00.000+00:002008-11-09T22:09:00.000+00:00Oh my god.

"We at Arsenal suggested this" lol.<BR/><BR/>Clichy produced ONE decent cross, and he generally the idea of a full back is to get crosses in - it's not some revolutionary idea.<BR/><BR/>Clichy had an average game. Could have scored an own goal, left his arm up, and left Ronaldo completely unmarked just after our second goal.<BR/><BR/>We didn't ruffle Vidic and Ferdinand at all. It seems to have escaped your notice that United sliced us apart for large spells and could have easily scored two or three in either half, as could we.<BR/><BR/>Leave the amateur analysis to someone else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7456083302191427651.post-30744920696546889662008-11-09T22:01:00.000+00:002008-11-09T22:01:00.000+00:00I would not even consider Toure for a starting spo...I would not even consider Toure for a starting spot.
