Sunderland vs Arsenal: Match Thread

BTW where did that SCouse prick go

 

For who, exactly?

 

I think we've been ****. Yes Sunderland have parked the bus, but there is no decisiveness to the Arsenal passing. They seem happy to just play at a slow tempo. Its the same problem as usual, they are waiting for a chance rather than making one.

 

Disagree with that. I think he was unlucky with the shot across goal and I think he's still got a big role to play in this game.

 

I would switch it 4-4-2.

The team are not good enought to create chances with only 1 up front against a team that defends well. We're basically praying for a piece of magic from RVP. He cant do it on his own every game.

 

That should have been a pen, if you are going to fall you put your arms in front of you, not out to the side, ref was conned!

I can see him swinging decisions to make up for that monumental mistake.

 

Take of theo and bring on WHO?

 

Nice to see an arse fan admitting you are a one player team ;-)

 

We haven't been s***
S'Land's defense have been really resolute abd we need a patience if we are going to win this

 

Who do you think , considering i have just said we should switch to 4-4-2 to give RVP support

 

Well we disagree on that - I think we have been ****, boring, and one dimensional.

 

go away you boring child.

 

I don't think we have been bad at all. Sunderland are well organised and it is hard to go through them. I think with Rosicky, we have looked more solid in midfield, keeping possession well. Once our wing backs get involved more then we will look better. It's a shame that Gibbs isn't playing as he would give us an extra attacking front, though Vermaelen has done well. We have kept Sunderland quiet up front and hopefully we can create a few more chances to seal this.

 

Still haven't gotten an answer
Probably Henry

 

Don't agree with that either. If we went 4-4-2 I think the play would get bunched up in midfield. As it is with 4-3-3, we've played over a third of the game in the Sunderland 3rd of the pitch. We had 5 shots on goal in the first half too (a couple off target) so we're doing okay, we just need to take our chances. I think Walcott is key to creating those chances too, so he needs to stay on.

 

Fine to disagree - as I do with you. The game so far has been all to familiar. No cutting edge. Possession doesnt win games.

 

Why ius it that whenever we aren't winning
Certain peoplesay we are s***
I really don't understand that

 

Yay - you got it. I knew you could work it out!

 

You're right mate. We've been pretty decent. 57% possession, 5 shots on goal, 1/3 of the play in the in and around the Sunderland box. I think we look pretty lively, solid in defence and I'd expect us to continue to create chances in the 2nd half.

 

Why is it that whenever we are not winning certain fans keep talking about possession and chances, penalties, and bad luck?

I really dont understand that.
