Agreed but I still like him, he's probabley better as the complementary striker. Not a good game today, he can play better. I don't really think he and bendtner make a good pairing either, I was hoping eduardo would be starting also.
That game sure turned on a dime. Were you guys playing possum in the first or what? Shame on us for not making something out of that first 45. Arsenal and the refs gave us chances on a silver platter and we turned the offer away.
The Taylor boys got away with whatever they wanted for the match. I thought Steven was getting red for that shot on Arshavin.
Deplorable coaching by Chris. Why not start Owen? Why not start Jonas who, even if he hasn't been scoring, has been the most consistent player at pushing the pace? And why, oh why, not sub Steven Taylor immediately? At least save face and let him out there for a few minutes after the goal.
And I'll say it again, the quickest, easiest way to improve this team is to take Coloccini out of the lineup and bury him on the depth chart. He's terrible and it's not as if he has any skill that makes up for his lack of speed or discipline.
No surprise who was mostly at fault for that gap (other than Chris for not making an immediate substitution).
Something I forgot was that rip Arshavin took, I don't know that he could have been any closer to the top post. He's one of the more exciting players I've seen so far.
-And I'll remember this day as being the day I got to see my first Wayne Rooney bitchfest. I think he's so pissed that he looks like he's 40, that he's compelled to act like he's 10.
I'm waking up hungover at 7:50 tomorrow morning to make a 9:30 train back to DC so I can watch Pool-Villa tomorrow. If I go through this shit and come home and watch some awful 0-0 crapfest, I will be really pissed.
