just back from the game

Gunga Din · October 28, 2007

i have been having a right old moan on here recently about how we have been playing, and how far off a title challenge we are, and today, to me, ratified all those negatives. we were at home, and Arsenalpassed us off the park, they were quicker, slicker, and had more purpose than we have had in a long time. to be honest that Arsenal team plays the game like Kennys side of 88.

the scariest thing for me is that we are nowhere near that level, not even close. last six home games. one win. says all you need to know. our third league game from 5 at Anfield were we have taken the lead and not won.

and if someone on here wants to come on and try and explain why Kuyt and Voronin were playing in wide positions when neither of them have any pace, yet we have someone we paid huge money for in Babel, not in the side, then i'd love to hear your opinion. in 3 and a bit years, and a lot of millions of pounds later, that side we have now is no better than the side Houllier left. our Keeper is better, but as a starting 11, and as a unit of players, we are no better, no nearer to a title challenge, and if people want to come on and say they arehappy with how we are playing and progressing as a side, then i'd say that you are happy with mediocrity and finishing in the top 4.

Arsenal play wonderful football, are an absolute joy to watch,and are streets ahead of us in terms of team, technique, and dare i say it, tacticaly. i only wish i could say that about us. Arsenal pass to feet, they pass and move, they pass forwards. we piss about the back, pass it along a back line, then either hoof it forward or pass it back to Reina who hoofs it forward.

In Rafa we trust? i'm not sure i trust Rafa anymore. i want more than anything for us to win the league, i seriously doubt we will do that with Rafa in charge.
