Apart from the defence, which is awful, there is a lot of promise in the rest of them. QUOTE]
Manuel Almunia - great double save
Emmanuel Eboue - headless chicken
Philippe Senderos - Philippe Senderos
Johan Djourou - last one picked on the playground
Pascal Cygan - Philippe Senderos
Alexander Hleb - has Arsenal's style but everyone's worked that out
Alexandre Song - Well out of his depth
Gilberto - world cup winner overan by Div 3 midfield
Quincy Owusu Abeyie - all tricks & no vision
Robin Van Persie - now showing great potential, but will he stay when the others leave? Yes is the answer by the way, if he recovers from injury
Arturo Lupoli - lightweight, never make it in the Prem, £50 says he's homesick within the year
In your undoubted wisdom maybe. We can pull the same 'tear down' on any prem team these days - including yours. Never has a teams position been more reliant on spin and dodgy decisions than the current Liverpool teams. As for the mancs, - don't get me started.
If people want to play at childish slanging matches, then lets all go down the local - a few beers and we can all talk crap for fun.
If you want a sensible discussion on football, none of the above comments on Arsenal are going to be in it.
I would agree, as an Arsenal fan, we have too many experienced players and in Cygan the worst player I have ever seen (bar one) in an Arsenal shirt.
However, one season doesn't make for a teams chances to be over. Just ask Alex ferguson. He's been written off more times than terminal cancer patient. This season alone he's been slagged (quite embarrasingly) by all and sundry including his own fans, yet for all that his team is second, and on reputation alone, which goes a long way in the prem, the most likely to catch Chelsea.
As for the majority of Liverpool fans, their overview on football has been cruely exposed (again) by their disgraceful treatment of Owen, with a large section of the crowd booing and abusing him throughout the game. They aren't football fans - just success hogs. The bulk of the REAL liverpool fans stopped going fifteen years ago.
As such their views aren't worth a jot.
