Arsenal

Arsenal need to win and win big tonight!!

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Well Giroud and Robinho are very different players (creative playmaker/dribbler vs giant in the box) but I would still prefer Giroud. Each to his own, I guess.

Anyway, disappointed Cazorla dived, his stock took a dip in my eyes.

 

[La Furia]

Well Cazorla certainly showed he was Barca quality today.

Isn't he too much of a midget for CB?

He would probably make a decent fullback though.

dive for first PK, foul not called for second goal. proud day to be a gunner...not!

Yes!! That's more like the Arsenal I like to see. Beautiful football. Sure, 2 pens 2 goals but we made so many chances, well deserved. Got the foundation now, time to build on it.

 

[Deco 20]

Abiatti>Chessny
Robinho could only be compared to Gervinho, not sure who's better there. The Brazilian is smarter on the pitch, but a bit slower and even more useless in front of goal. He's possibly the worst finisher I've ever seen, but he's a good dribbler... It's about a tie, IMO. (Don't watch more than a couple games/season though)

Fair enough, i'd disagree strongly & there is alot of young talents namely De Sciglio who is already for my money better than Abate & is very strong both offensively/defensively sound, i don't want to jump the gun on him but if he keeps what he's been doing there is a new Maldini on the horizon

Typical English media. They're on a witch hunt against Santi.

Yet whenever Bale or Young dives they hardly usher a word...

edit: I'm English by the way.

for once i actually agree with you.

young = lightwieght/fast etc. anyone not english = diver needs to be kicked out of football.

Though I'm sure their no contact still images are better.

 

[Jenks]

What are we supposed to be looking at?

 

[Ketoth]

There was contact and Cazorla had every right to go down.

 

[La Furia]

Though I'm sure their no contact still images are better.

That picture makes it look like Cazorla hooked the defender Deco-style for an effective dive, not really helping your case.

 

[Ketoth]

Never the less, the media witch hunt is irritating. Wouldn't surprise me if he gets the same treatment Suarez gets from now on.
