half time 1-1

Now OC to work that magic

hisroyalgingerness · Post by **hisroyalgingerness** » Sat Sep 11, 2010 3:49 pm

Need to have more confidence to keep the ball. Too much hit and hope and too much tossing it into space with a 40:60 chance of getting it. Will need to step up if we're to get a point

Holden looking sluggish today. Should be the first to come off IMO.
Despite the goal we still look clueless once we cross halfline.

awesome,
can we hold on ???
doubt it, they seem to be playing 3 pops in with our defence when they want a goal they go and get one, but you never know

I'd put Taylor on and see what he can do for Petrov who's not really shown us yet what he can do

Great game to watch. Boggers has been tremendous though perhaps he should have come on their goal. Lee showed great composure on the goal. SKD has played an excellent game, flicking the long ball at will, but deserved the yellow. Petrov strikes me as a waste of space. His successful pass rate to the opposition is extremely high. He put in one well placed corner but that was it. The game is pretty high tempo stuff. Wilshire has been excellent and the Gunners always look dangerous. Still, all most enjoyable.

We desperately need to stop giving the ball away. Klasnic and Mavies need to make an appearance, methinks, for SKD and Muamba. Arsenal have been nowhere near their best, and we can take advantage of that.

We looked good for the first 15

Fell apart for 15 minutes

Got lucky, and looked solid enough up to half time. Bogdan looks really composed, relaxed, and it helps the defence - no panicky moments with backpassess or whatever...unlike Arsenal...*snigger*. If you were told one keeper was making his first Premiership start and one had played 5 seasons (or whatever it is) for a top 4 premier league team, you would get them mixed up.

Holden and Petrov, and to a lesser extent Lee are not in the game. passess through midfield from deep have cut us open about 5 times? We either need to stop the supply or sit deeper as a back line cos we haven't got the pace in a sprint race.

Elmander has played well, as have the two full backs and Cahill. Knight lucky to get away with that 'tackle' on Chamakh near the end? Or so it looked on my stream anyway...

Wasted a few free kicks and corners. I said I'd get Taylor on and I still would do that. Not sure about Holden, whether Mark Davies would make a difference...or even Ricketts in there? Shame we have no pace to bring on up front, that would scare there defence to death I reckon and we'd chase down some more of these back passes.
