The Woes - With a Spin! To keep certain people happy!!!!

Would we have taken played 10 / 20 points before the season had started - yes!  So a positive.

Would we have taken played 3 / 1 point Champions League - No!  So a negative.

Did some fans expect us to be serious challengers this term?  Yes, me for one!

Did early season form, show this was justified?  Yes, we got the results!

Are some fans dissapointed with our current performances / results - Yes.  Is this justified?  WHY NOT!

Do we look like a team with confidence - NO.  WHY the hell not!

I honestly believe, that rotation has caused us to look dis-jointed - we are not playing as a fluid team.

I think many people are getting the ACTUAL amount of rotation that has taken place with the crippling amount of injuries the squad has suffered this season to date.

Rotation has been done to death on here - but what's with this Formation Rotation that now seems to be happening!

Rafa, likes to swap players and now he's swapping our style of play week in week out!

If a player is injured he has to swap him ffs!

This season JC, SF, AA, DA, FA, HK, JP, SG, MS, XA, JM, FT - have all been swapped-out as you put it - because they were not fit to play... or would you prefer them to play in a lovely formation and end-up playing like FT did yesterday - was crocked from the 1st minute!

Sorry but you are wrong!!!!

We could have played Babel on the left and Yossi on the right yesterday - two natural wide players.  Get your facts right before you start putting your 'ffs' on this site please.

But Rafa decided to play Kuyt and Voronin on the wings - which is a selection/formation disaster!

Didn't realise this thread was only referring to yesterday.

I (FFS) thought for a second it referred to all the games dating back to the start of the season. Silly me.

Oh btw - frankly fine sir (= ffs)....what *were* you thinking? .

But Rafa decided to play Kuyt and Voronin on the wings - which is a selection/formation disaster!

Such a disater that we drew against probably the best team in Europe right now

you know what ffs meant!  And you're not funny!

The formation was about yesterday and all our games.  I cannot be negative about injuries - that's no-ones fault.  But I can be critical of changing formations for the sake of the opposition and then playing people in positions they are not accustomed too!

The result was positive - the performance wasn't - in my opinion!

In your words, Arsenal are the currently the best team in Europe.  Why aren't Liverpool - ED?  Surely that's negative, and show's something isn't quite right?

So you're happy with Kuyt and Voronin playing on the wings then - silly me, I must be missing something.

Sounds like you've been playing Football Manager too much on the old xbox...

Rafa plays the cards with those available to him at that time - I thought we looked decent in the first half hour with that forward 3. Although Fernando looked short of pace from the very start.  I personally would have started with Yossi instead of Voro... but that's why Rafa is the manager and me and you are not. He decides. End of.

Oh and I might not be funny - but I would have a decent bet you are a bit of a fanny though... ;0)

Can you feel the love?

A brain - perhaps?

If you look for it - my view is in the middle of the personal stuff fella.

Anyway, how did you know my name was Walter? (bit pesonal isn't it?)

Yes, on current form I believe Arsenal are the best team in Europe, I also believe though that we will have a run during which we will be the best team in Europe or close enough.

Kuyt & Voronin didn't play on the wings yesterday, they played as wide strikers. Kuyt IMO did very well in the role, Voronin didn't, but that's a question of personell not tactics, I think the tactic worked well.

They played as wide strikers on the WING!  So they are Stricker Wingers - that's a new one to me!

No mate, there is a big difference between wide strikers and wingers, and I know you're intelligent enough to know the difference so I'm not gonna go into it.

That's the first compliment you've given me - I knew you'd come round.  You're officially part of the Negative Gang.

No they didn't JAR and SF came up as wing backs on the offensive ... (JAR doing this rather badly for the record) ...and Kuyt and Voro acted as wide strikers on the offensive and as part of a 5 man midfield on the defence.

You should study the game more... maybe you just get too wound-up with Rafa's beard or something to concentrate on what is actually going on? (just a thought).

May be you're right -  I wish I was more like you !

You're not alone a lot of people do.

Signed picture in the post at the end of the season if you stop winding all the sane people on here up. Pretty promise.
