I reckon Leo was right as the pen was only counted as one as had to be retaked so one taken twice.

Not much of a celebration from those 2 considering they used to be team mates.

Based on your 3 at the back possibililty. Reina Carra Coates Agger Kelly Enrique Lucas Adam Suarez Downing AC .... and a bench of: Doni Kuyt Henderson Bellamy Maxi Shelvey Spearing BTW, is Kelly or Johnson fit?

Class tactical explanation from Arry as to how wingers are to play in a 442 or 4411 formation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14702987.stm

This for me.

I reckon Kuyt and Suarez have to be our number 1 strike force with AC coming off the bench. Kuyt was involved in everything. Superb!

I like Maxi. Since the end of last season he seems to always pop up with a goal. Wouldn´t mind seeing start against Bolton but imagine as he did 90 here he´ll prbably be on the bench.

Is there a reason why AC is playing the donkey today?

Agree with this. Reckon Spearing and Lucas should start on Saturday.

There´s a thread in the general football forum with links

Enrique Lucas Kelly

The Arsenal side of today won´t be anywhere near a challenge of 4th and 6th, but I agree they will still be up challenging once they get back a few players from injury and of course suspension with maybe a few new ones.

What???? He purposely stopped a quick throw which would have had us on the attack. Defo yellow. Plus I thought he squared up to Henderson! Also, spear-tackled by a rugby player? What did Lucas add extra to his dive to make sure Atkinson brandished a card? Idiot!! The foul was more a straight red than a a second yellow.

A win is a win and I know a win at Arsenal is a rarity and I´ll definitely take 3 points from an uninspiring game but at the end of the day our performance was average and we need to improve as we can´t play a depleted Arsenal team every week. I know we have new faces still bedding in so performances will hopefully improve and an added bonus is that they now have more mins under their belts, but our passing was pedestrian at times which was probably down to lack of movement and understanding which will come. We also, in my opinion, seemed reluctant to commit players forward and often only had AC in the box as though we were seriously concerned of any counterattacks if we lost the ball. Enrique was class and Lucas was excellent as was Kelly. Kuyts running and industry was ruined by his bad passes or just not releasing the ball early enough. AC´s problem today was probably the lack of players near him. We really need to start utilizing him better if we´re going to get the best out of him, but I agree with another poster we have much more fluency in the team when he´s not in it. Also, I reckon Raul and Maxi are worth a start ahead of Henderson and Kuyt. All in all a bloody good win but improvements are needed.

No chance. They are woeful.

How bad are Udineses corners?

Udinese are awful in the final third.

Woy telling his players to play out time. Will probably argue with the 4th official if too much time gets added as well!!

TBH could Maure have got an easy first game apart from playing West Brom at home? Woy making sure his mate gets 3 points.

Another blank from Torres.

Difficult one for CM. Spearing or Adam to partner Lucas. Adam for his balls to AC´s head to trouble Arsenals CB´s or Spearing for his ankle chasing. I´d probably go for Sion´s team with Kuyt in for Henderson and either Kelly or Johnson in for Flanno.

Definitely a tale of 2 halves. Top top class 1st half complete s*** second. At one point we couldn´t even string 2 passes together.
