Arsenal Vs Wolves | Premiership 26/12/2011

[Massa]

haven't seen the highlights but my prediction is:

- we had shitload of possession
- our wingers were ineffective (bar gervinho's goal)
- wenger didn't start the players that can make a difference in our team and instead played passengers
- wenger failed to bring on the OX even though he is obviously our best player
- mertesacker was at fault for the wolves goal

I assumed he meant off the bench, which in that case is probably not out of the question.

Oh...In that case then I'd agree

Wrong on several counts.
Benayoun was on the wing and he was decent. Involved in a lot of attacking play.
The Ox is our best player? Really? After one and a half games or whatever it is? One good CC performance and one terrible one and suddenly he's the messiah.
The Wolves goal was nothing to do with Mert.
They took a corner which was headed strongly out of goal by TV5 (I think) but unfortunately it landed at the feet of a Wolves player. He then took a shot on goal which took a massive deflection (changed direction by about 90 degrees) and very very flukily landed right on the head of their only striker, who was unmarked in the LB area which is actually TV's area.
He scored with his head. Massively flukey goal. One in a thousand.

Watch the games instead of trying to predict the mistakes.

Inch, as stated above, I think he meant Ox was our best player that was on the bench

Either way he's wrong because the players that started made a difference. Rosicky and Benayoun fared far better than Ramsey and Theo often do.

We're not disputing that. Who would you want to come off the bench to make a difference? Our bench consisted of: Almunia, Miquel, Ox, Ramsey, Coquelin, Chamakh and Arshavin. I think most people would want Ox coming off, wouldn't you?

Massa is:

"wenger didn't start the players that can make a difference in our team and instead played passengers"

Rosicky & Benayoun aren't passengers.

[Chrissiii]

ooops, missed that bit
