Royalupnorth It was a dive.

Gunnarsson ran into the back of him, he was tripped. Rubbish free-kick though.

Gunnarson gets some payback to the Kleb knocking Byrn on the head earlier!

Hleb wasting time to get to the break. They're worried!

crap - just when I was going to enjoy 10min of happiness at HT

Sonko hasn't exactly covered himself in glory there. Lost the ball 35 yards out and then allowed Flamini to beat him to the cross.

Bryn's been our best player.

Bristol Paul · by **Bristol Paul** » 12 Nov 2007 20:53

Can't expect to play that defensively and get anything out of this. Just sitting on the edge of the box for 45 mins was an Arsenal goal waiting to happen. For gods sake we are at hope so f###ing play like it!

Agreed on Bryn. Covered as much grass at Hunt and got some tackles in. Kitson was effective in midfield too, but we didn't do much after Kits and Doyle were swapped around.

Well we're behind, I'd like to see 4-4-2 now in the second half, and Reading going for an equaliser.

seahawk10 · by **seahawk10** » 12 Nov 2007 21:02

Yes, the goal could be a blessing in disguise. At the very least we will see a better brand of up and down football in the second half.

Bryn and Hunt did cover a lot of ground, however they are also guilty of giving the ball away far to often on the occasions that we get forward, if we intend to play the same way second half we've got to keep posession a bit konger in the Arsenal half.

cmonurz · by **cmonurz** » 12 Nov 2007 21:07

451 still. Coppell has the fear.

seahawk10 · by **seahawk10** » 12 Nov 2007 21:08

Convey on the left now as someone earlier had suggested.

seahawk10 · by **seahawk10** » 12 Nov 2007 21:09

Hunt has slid inside and Doyle is on the right. Looks like we are still 4-5-1, not sure how long we will stay that way until we open it up.

Heh?

We have had like 3 corners to their 1.
We have had similar shots on goal.

How is that sitting on the edge of the box?

PS - Did you see last seasons game when we played like you want us to? It was ugly

Trust me, those have been a handful of exceptions to the normal stance of packing 10 men behind the ball.
