If not today at Shalke, in our next Premier League matches I think Arsene Wenger should experiment with Arshavin, Chamakh, and Squillaci back in the starting XI . . . Nearly every single player had NOTHING to offer againts Manchester. Why not try some of the talent that's been sitting on the bench for many months now (?) . . .

I think the best thing we can do is play to our strength/s of our Pretty Passing Game through midfield-forward to goal. Use someone bigger/stronger up front today, instead of Gervinho . . . Giroud would work. Then start Podolski & Walcott up front, as well as Koscielny and Vermaelen in back ( w/ Mertesacker and Jenkinson).

WOW! DID YOU SEE THAT! I HIT IT WITH MY HEAD!
ONE TOUCH, BANG! I AM GIROUD!

(for those of you not listening to 'The Tuesday Club - An Arsenal Podcast'...what's wrong with you?)

Yeah! That was a cool goal : fully extended to smash it right past the keeper!

1-2 Arsenal at the half.

Only watching on ESPNs gamecast, hopefully we've been playing well.

Walcott is still scoring... still making his case that she should be starting. But, we conceded right before halftime, never good.

We looked a whole lot more comfortable when we were Two goals up . . . I wonder if we would have held on to the Three points if Huntelaar didn't score before the half . .

I left the Pub after the first 45, but Arsenal didn't play their nice, fluid passing game through the midfield. It looked like more direct play to goal without elaborate passing through the midfield; however, Cazorla was in better form.

Who, specifically would you guys say is to blame for each of the TWO conceded goals ? ? ? Arsenal should have won this game by keeping the sheet clean after our early Walcott & Giroud goals

phelan · 11-07-2012, 12:11 AM

Cazorla slipped. I blame Nike.

Bayern wins 6-1 and Barca loses with 82% poss. Good day!

Celtic FC did a heroic job today

He may not be THE Super Mario, but he's surely OUR Super Mario tonight! Took a world class shot to beat Rimando not just tonight but the entire series!!!! Now on to our next playoff nemesis, LA! Oh, and go Houston!

^^Extra props for Evans taking a celebratory dump on the field!

Very nice goal. I do like the Sounders, but MLS is on at the wrong times for me usually, so I don't follow it like I should.

phelan · 11-09-2012, 10:24 AM

I didn't see the game so I don't know the circumstances, but it looks like a classic counter-attack goal. Very good skill to take it on the half-volley and lash it into the far upright, but where the hell was the fullback? I know RSL aren't crazy enough to play a 3-5-2 formation, so the FB must have been on an overlap and couldn't track back. The CB got pulled out to cover for his non-existent FB, and they got burned by it. If they're in a 4-3-3, wouldn't the RM drop back to cover?

In fact, WHY IS RSL JOGGING BACK IN A PLAYOFF GAME WTF.

I would add, though, I love the Sounders more than the Galaxy. Home Depot Center has NOTHING on the noise CenturyLink comes up with during the Northwest games.

interesting question (?):

Which coach could you see coming to work as Manager for Arsenal when Arsene Wenger's time comes to leave ?

I've been a gooner since 2010. I've never known any other Arsenal besides the one Mr. Wenger created. I think some really great things are in the club's future, including a new style/thought of play through a young, bright leader & coach. . .

cow · 11-14-2012, 09:08 AM

I'd love Jurgen Klopp, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Bould or another bench coach be promoted, considering the board's track record.
