Gibbs and Traore are both better at LW then LB

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:52 pm

That was one hell of a counter-attack!

by TalkingReckless Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:52 pm

GOOOOAAALLLLLL....

excellent attack

by Raptorgunner Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:52 pm

I am very scared he is going to be backing up a very injury prone Gibbs.

We need a left back.

Sweet goal. Great pass by Wilshere, cross by Gervs, finish by VP.

jenks is having a shaky game so far

by RealGunner Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:56 pm

i thought traore been quite good honestly

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 4:57 pm

Traore has been doing his job tbh. Nothing more, nothing less. That's exactly what we need. He did seem out of position a couple of times, but at least he has been there when Boca attacked

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:00 pm

Ahh, I missed Fabianski's distribution Smile

As for Jenkinson...he is having a solid game defensively. His offensive play could be better, but he's doing well.

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:00 pm

Free Kick....lets hope they try to cross

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:01 pm

It was a bad cross, but we cleared pretty well too.

Jenkinson's positioning is A*

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:04 pm

We are very good on the counter today

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:05 pm

Excellent tackle by Traore

by Sushi Master Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:06 pm

Somosa is lucky to still be on the pitch.

by Sushi Master Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:07 pm

VP, we miss your free kicks!

by Amar Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:07 pm

Perfect example of how we'll get killed with Traore in the lineup.

He jets forward with a poor first touch, leaving the whole flank exposed and the team open to a counter attack.

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:07 pm

Did you see how Frimpong got rid of all those players around him? That was great. This kid has got what it takes...He is miles ahead of how he was during last pre-season, especially technically. His passing and dribbling skills can be spectacular at times.

RVP is still tweaking his FKs

by KMD Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:08 pm

o man, please practice FKs...

by 23arshavin23 Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:09 pm

1st half over, played Ok so far

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:09 pm

So far, we are defending set-pieces pretty well. Its going to be much much harder against EPL teams though.

Again, another good tackle from Traore. Used his pace very well there to get back

by Raptorgunner Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:10 pm

traore is playing great, Nasri and Arshivan haven't done much.

by Sushi Master Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:12 pm

I can imagine his FK practice time been put to finishing, which I guess is needed more. But damn, from beast FKs to THAT?

Frimpong has been great, yeah. He's strong AND agile.

by usman111 Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:13 pm

perfect run & finish by van persie excellent cross from gervinho

by Iceman Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:14 pm

Every time I see the replay of our goal, I just can't help but compare it to the way we used to play before...in the days of Vieira and Henry. It was such a fast counter attack with a lot of quick passes. Really well executed

by ArsenalWenger Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:14 pm

I'm on holiday atm so I can't watch the game Sad

did set piece tactics change like they said it would? How's Traore/Frimpong playing? And is Afobe on the bench?

by usman111 Sat Jul 30, 2011 5:15 pm

Nasri is trying to take on the entire team lol
has anyone noticed arsenal not creating much in the middle ? the flanks are causing the problems.. by flanks i mean arshavin and gervinho
