Lads, how can you expect Voronin to come on and mix it with the best of English football when he is so out of match practise? He was ineffective because he's rusty - out of his playing rythmn. Rafa has got to play these lads, even if its in the reserves. There was no way in a month of sundays Voronin was going to score a sneeky winner once he came on.

im not going to complain at the result

However its not over yet, Arsenal are capable of beating us in anfield, so we need a huge performance.

Andy Gray's pro-arsneal bull was sickening at times....

Lucas came on and kind of restored the control in midfield. Xabi was tired i think. Vororin showed his lack of anticipation and first touch again despite being fresh :no

Was his Rafa's idea to sit back deep and play on the counter? Good result anyway.

How well did we do?

The face on Wenger and his assistant in the last 5 minutes showed how much they want to go to Anfield with an away goal against them - they were sh!ttng themselves.

Well done lads, half the job done.

before his injuries Harry was better than both of them put together....i signed up when Harry was a good player....hence my avatar. Might have to think of changing it in the summer tho

Rafa should of kept Babel on though as Benayoun was pretty much useless.

Benayoun was much, much better. Although he's not as fast or strong, Benayoun is a much smarter, trickier player.

great result but not a great performance, we didnt keep possesion of the ball well and it gave them the chance to come at us time and time again

good games from most of the defensive players although not when in possesion and torres ran his socks off against 4 defenders, stevie did very well for the goal but otnerwise was below his usaully standard... motm has to go to kuyt he ran his socks off as per and got the crucial goal (thats 6 this year in europe, why can he do it in the prem??) plus he made a few very important tackles

the subs were right imo
1. babel was shi.t and didnt get the chance to run at the fullback enough we needed possesion and benny can give us that
2. lucas came on for alonso and gave us more energy in te middle as alonso was tiring
3. voronin for torres,needed to change torres he looked dead when he came off and it made me think will rafa rest him on the weekend??

advantage us me thinks :buttrock

Oh no Voronin is back !!!!!

Babel was wasteful and to much of a lightweight to get stuck in .

Benayoun did nothing and torres looked recked .

agreed mate, babel was f*cking useless.

by **DonnieDarko** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 10:05 pm

Benayoun kept possession and didnt kill play. What did Babel do? He continually gave the ball away and/or held the ball too long and put the person receiving his passes under immediate pressure.

ESPN just started to show the game in its entirety again here in Brazil, 20minutes after they finished the live broadcast.

Its a tough life. :laugh:

Thanks for the feedback gents, i'm gonna watch the match when i get home and i'll give an opinion then.

Oh and by the way i believe Andy(no bias)Gray made a tw@t of himself with his complete bias towards Arsenal in his commentary.

Richard Keys on Sky trying to stir up some shyt about Kuyt and the ref being born only five miles apart.....and presumably many years before too.
