after watching arsenal somehow below part performance against
PSV and Bolten, i have mix feeling. maybe afterall arsenal are not
that unbeatable and seem shaky in defence at times. maybe the
return in campbell in few weeks times would solve the problem. on
the otherhand i feel, dispite arsenal offdays, they still cant be
beaten. what does that tell you.
about justin comment:
but for all their "good"ness... there certainly are
weakness...
Lehmann --> anyone remembered the "gaffe" he made in the CL last
season ??
reply : agree, somehow not among the best keeper in the
world.
Lauren ---> dun ask me why he wasn't send off against norwich
?!?!?
reply : he has great overlapping run, good defender,
getting sending off is part and parcel of the game, nothing to
complain about. should ask the referee not lauren. by the way, gary
neveile is worse. more own goal, more red cards and more silly
mistake.no hard feeling just need to ask ma utd fans what they
say
Ashley Cole ---> he has been great.. for both england n
arsenal
reply : great player, has clinchy as his
backup.
Sol Campbell --> still out with injury
reply : arsenal need him back badly especially against more
deadly opponents
Toure & Cygan ---> impressive .. but for now onli...
reply: toure is been good not only this season but whole of
last season. cygan is the weaklink in defence no doubt. really need
campbell back.
Pires ---> has not played much due to Reyes's outstanding form
...
reply: that the point, to rest a player occasional to
refresh that why pires has score so many goals already this season,
some even come on as subs. that show the depth of
arsenal
Ljunberg ---> the goalscoring threat in the midfield... but
sometimes doin nothing at all..
reply: good running in the position esp in the penalty box.
agree sometimes did have an off day and abit injury
prone.
Gilberto --> always doin nothing at all !!
reply : cant agree. he is pillar of arsenal unbeaten run.
he seem doing nothing but he does little checking back against
striker run, hold the ball and distribute to wing man that his job.
he is not attacking man. his role is similar to makelele of
chelski.
Vieira --> jus back from injury.. can't judge him much...
reply : cant be judge, he is such proven player like roy
keane.
Fabregras ---> from the 1st few matches , can see his
potential.. but i still have some reservations over him... is he as
good as you all rated him to be ??? I would like to judge him over
the course of the season.... having a few good games doesn't make u
into a world-class player !
reply : agree too early to rate him, but i doubt he will
get much opportunity for bigger games. maybe in FA cup, league cup
and when vieira is injured, edu is on international
duty.
Henry ---> brillant as usual.. but not setting the world
alight... yet...
reply : whether he play well for france is not arsenal
problem as long as he play fantastic for arsenal is all that matter
to arsenal fans. isnt it?
Bergkamp ---> this guy jus get better as he gets older... his
technique is 2nd to none !
reply: my only concern. sure retired end of this season. maybe
reyes will be full replacement.
Reyes --> player of the season so far... red-hot... brillant
close control n footwork.. always managed to wriggle himself free
... no wonder when Sevilla beat Real Madrid 4-1.. Zidane praised
Reyes and said that this kid is on skates !! he can fly
!!!
reply : agree has great footwork and really know how to strike a
ball well on a good day. and really off on certain days.
must develop a consistant game i hope.
no offence. just my thought, i have to defend any attacks on
arsenal if possible on any reasonable remarks. but admit some
weakness also.
thanks.
