EPL : Arsenal versus Liverpool
-
Cisse is just a waste of money.
A striker who cannot score goals? -
maybe its not wise to get french top scorers... look at sylvain wiltord.... expensive french top scorer also but cant perform in epl.....

Henry?Originally posted by BrUtUs:maybe its not wise to get french top scorers... look at sylvain wiltord.... expensive french top scorer also but cant perform in epl..... -
He wasn't even originally playing a striker's role? He was a midfielder in Inter Milan.Originally posted by Patrik:Henry? -
france were lucky to win both the world cup and european nations cup. their strikers hardly score. their 'best' striker is henry of arsenal who always fail on the big stage. yet liverpool signed cisse, a virtual unknown, for millions of pounds.
i feel that arsenal have a very good scouting director. look at the youngsters they have signed. not expensive but have lots of potential. fabrigas, van persie and a few others.
french defenders are the best overall. -
i think liverpool have wasted too much money on useless players...emile heskey for example...and the group of senegalese!!!Originally posted by dragg:france were lucky to win both the world cup and european nations cup. their strikers hardly score. their 'best' striker is henry of arsenal who always fail on the big stage. yet liverpool signed cisse, a virtual unknown, for millions of pounds.

what are you talking about?Originally posted by chihuahua:He wasn't even originally playing a striker's role? He was a midfielder in Inter Milan.
I can't imagine liverpool being relegated to Division 1 and playing champions league or uefa cup football ;x -
just having my usual dose of imaginations.Originally posted by dragg:what are you talking about? -
Gunners simply class act la .
Their passing , they're controlling capabilities , they're movement , simply a class above Liverpool .
Maybe Benitez wants the lads to keep slow in the first half , go all out in the second , but too bad , the gunners got us this time . -
jump on the success bandwagon like 798 lor...

erm he was at Juventus...Originally posted by chihuahua:He wasn't even originally playing a striker's role? He was a midfielder in Inter Milan.

he got henry mixed up with bergkamp....Originally posted by UnLeAsH_cHa0s:erm he was at Juventus...
oops...bergkamp played striker in inter as well.... -
seriously i think it was Benitez fault yesterday... juz dont get it y he likes the lone striker formation. it really is CMI lor!!
chelsea can do it cos their supporting midfielders is die die can score probably. Liverpool leh?? haizz... the strikers are alwaya drawn into wide areas instead of central positions sianz... we can trouble any defense wif our current non-existent strikeforce... sad... -
We were simply outclassed and outplayed!
Gunners were rampant n i hope they will be rewarded with 2nd spot and the FA cup
As for Reds....we've oni got ourselves to blame - the atrocious away form n inconsistency cost us dearly. Let's hope we end the season with a home win
-
i think maybe their opponents' soccer field too big liao.Originally posted by the Bear:the last goal was hilarious... Fabregas kept looking around to see if he would be ruled offside before starting to celebrate the goal
and why Arsenal sucks at UCL is because they play the same way while teams in the UCL play not to lose...
I feel gunners might be very good in playing street soccer too.

err... henry was a left midfielder for Juventus.Originally posted by chihuahua:He wasn't even originally playing a striker's role? He was a midfielder in Inter Milan. -

Actually the strikers of france do not rose on big occasion because of the coach's fault... dat the tactics of using zidane as free-role or they focus too much on zidane as deliverman, so when zidane was injured, the team could not perform.
in my view, henry is better than zidane. -
seriosuly if benitez is reading this,he has 2 very quick strikers at his disposal as well as 2 execellent center midfield passers yet he plays a slow game.its like u have 2 hands to eat,but yet u onli use 1.simple rubbish,2nd half he sub cisse for baros again 4-5-1 even when losing 2-0.my guess is tat benitez hasn't really adapted or understood the english game phillsophy yet,his style might work in ucl but in premiership it just doesn't work.which top team plays with a lone striker besides chelsea this season?
-
wenger is really a very good manager. look at how he transform arsenal from a super defensive club that only win matches either through penalty-shootout or extra-time into a top class attacking team.Originally posted by chonsou:yah man! arsene wenger saved a lot of people's career!! but a lot of them chose to go for big money clubs and ended up screwing up their careers!

After seeing all the negative feedback, I would like to put in some word of fairness.
For Cisse, he have been out for most of the season.
He is still not match-fit or sharp so he should be given some time to groom.
For "Keng"well, he have been counting his millions for the past few months.
Therefore, very hard to expect him to turn into diamond for one match.
The rest of the team seems to be saving their legs for the Champion League Final. (Who would not ???)
For Ah Ben, I think he is a bit stubborn in using his lone striker tactics (Baros ? Cisse ? Morientes ? Owen ?) against the EPL teams.
It does not work as Garcia is the weakest link and he is not a ball holder.
So, Ah Ben is partly to blame for his tactics yesterday night.
Liverpool is still not a TEAM yet.
There are still players to weed out and tactics to change.
Lots of work need to done and miracle does not happen overnight.
