From an Arsenal pov we were the ideal team to play against because we get the ball down and play. We also rarely press opposing players in and around the middle of the pitch like Stoke, Bolton et al do. In the main, from what I see, we back off to a point waiting to capitalise on mistakes - a loose pass, a bad touch etc. Not often you see a Utd midfielder now clatter into someone on the turn as they look to start a counter or pick a pass out. When you play like that, against a good attacking side (and they are), you can come unstuck. Especially if you don't take your own excellent chances. Hargreaves would have been ideal yesterday but he looks done for so I think another midfieder is needed. A ball winning type or a player not afraid to mix it. Pity Mascherano is at the Dippers. |

Neither Arsenal or Utd will be challenging for the title come May (unless we stop letting teams off the hook, and start defending as a team again).
If Utd get a bit of steel into the midfield in January we may well step up a touch but I don't see the former happening. 4-4-2 with the midfielders currently available is £#%&!ing daft. |

Worth noting that Eric Harrison feels if Utd were to play 3 in midfield Possebon could do the holding role now. I'm not saying he or Utd should but it's worth considering IMO. We need to become difficult to score against again, like last season. |

Having someone sit in front of the back four in the "Makelele" position was being done by us long before Makelele showed up on these shores. I thought it was a bizarre goal. One of these situations where I'd actually switched off thinking he'd be clattered by someone no sooner than the pass had arrived. |
