At halftime against Olympiakos, I found myself thinking "hang on, I've seen this same bad movie before".<br /><br />Thankfully we were able to continue to create chances and eventually score. I always feel like we're going to get one when we are dominating in the fashion we did tonight. But there remains that gnawing at the back of my mind that we might remain profligate, Rhinogoonernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-33650497991837238512009-09-29T12:31:09.997+01:002009-09-29T12:31:09.997+01:00I agree Obs.

The massacres that are happening every weekend shows, if anything, that the premier league is not full of teams playing defensive football at the moment, although i think that will change as the season progresses.<br /><br />That said, it may just be that people have at last realised that the 3 points per win system means that its almost worth the gamble to try and score. Its only Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195190597835036529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-39225836946602778722009-09-29T11:37:30.284+01:002009-09-29T11:37:30.284+01:00Everyone called the "defensive midfield"...Everyone called the "defensive midfield" as the weak spot, and Lo it is upon us. Also, we said it may not be a problem if Diaby steps up, and I'm with Uncle Mike here - it was never going to happen.<br /><br />My hope is that Diaby is dropped, and Rambo is given a couple of the games coming up. They are against "lesser" opponents so it is a good litmus test of his ability.Obsinhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17682633045526999412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328101106494598665.post-12608342521926404902009-09-29T04:48:45.280+01:002009-09-29T04:48:45.280+01:00If this were Dixon-Winterburn-Bould-Adams keeping ...If this were Dixon-Winterburn-Bould-Adams keeping a clean sheet, I don't think anyone would be complaining about Fulham 0-1 Arsenal, except maybe opposing fans talking about "Boring, Boring Arsenal." But who cares what they think: Winning ugly is still winning.<br /><br />I don't know where this supposedly Vieira-level talent Diaby I keep hearing about is.

Fabregas doesn't defend much since last season, Roskicki even less and Diaby isn't disciplined enough.<br />Denilson and Nasri are the ones we need to boss the midfield. Until their return Rambo should be given more opportunities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
