I know. I was just on 'Arshavin watch' last night and a few times me and my mate would have dragged him off and brought Theo on. He wasn't involved that much and he offered no protection for poor young Gibbs behind him either! But he came to life when he got the ball near goal and had four chances and scored four.Verbal wrote:To be fair mate, there will be many a happy Gunner if he can drift through games anonymously and bag four.jimbo wrote:Did it strike anyone else how shite Arshavin was apart from for the goals?

I'm glad someone else said it other than me, because I'd've been doubtless cast in the role of 'bitter Liverpool fan'. He was anonymous, apart from when we gifted him a couple of goals. Ok, his finishing was top notch (especially the 2nd and 4th which were great strikes), but we gave him the all 4 by losing the ball on the edge of our box, poor clearances that fell to his feet, or just going all out for the win in the case of the latter. He (and Arsenal by extension) did feck all for the rest of the game, and it's one of the strangest games of football I can remember seeing. And I've seen a few following us. Madness. Elating. Depressing. All at the same time.jimbo wrote:Did it strike anyone else how shite Arshavin was apart from for the goals? He barely touched the ball otherwise.

The same can be said of Torres, he does little else but score.blurred wrote:I'm glad someone else said it other than me, because I'd've been doubtless cast in the role of 'bitter Liverpool fan'.

When he doesn't score his impact on a game is usually zero!
Liverpool are 3 or 4 top class players short of being in the same league as Man Utd or Chelsea (when properly managed)!
You are...let me get this straight...saying, that apart from scour FOUR GOALS he did nothing? I think I'd take that, though yeah, he was very poor when it came to supporting Gibbs, sold him out several times. I thought Fabregas was poor as well though, very slow to turn and didn't get into the game at all.jimbo wrote:Did it strike anyone else how shite Arshavin was apart from for the goals?

For the record, Liverpool were (imho) absolutely SENSATIONAL last night, incredible. They deserved all 3 points, they savaged Arsenal. Arsenal, the supposed best passing team in the world were made to look like hoof-ball merchants (chech out Arshavin's fourth for a perfect example) whilst Liverpool looked amazing. Dirt Kuyt was particularly impressive, he put two balls in (after Benitez moved him wide right) that were *perfect* and he generally put in a Davies-esque shift down the right. Benayoun was brilliant as well...I found myself saying "to think he could have been a wanderer"...
One of the best prem matches I've seen in ages.

Fair enough, edited for your benefit.
I feel it's an acurate description of what Liverpool did to Arsenal football wise last night, but there we go.
Dictionary.com
raped, rap·ing, rapes
1. To force (another person) to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse; commit rape on.
2. To seize and carry off by force.
3. To plunder or pillage.

Just wondering.

Not sure about your conclusion. I didn't see the game last night so I'll take your word he was quiet in general play, but so far this season he has been immense throughout games. Absolute snip at 12million.jimbo wrote:Did it strike anyone else how shite Arshavin was apart from for the goals? He barely touched the ball otherwise.

Not really on topic, but it always makes me smile when I see this thread, and under 'last poster' it says blurred. I have a vision of a man with a generic scouse face (they DO exist) fighting of a raging horde with a toothpick, blindfolded, and with one hand tied behind his back screaming 'he's not a priiiiiiick'. The words 'losing', and 'battle' spring to mind.

I agree with blurred. There's much more to Torres' game than scoring goals.blurred wrote:You're obviously not watching the same football as most of us, then.BWFC_Insane wrote:The same can be said of Torres, he does little else but score.

Diving, for one.
