  1. Statistics only show part of the story... the amount of free-kicks we concede in dangerous areas is certainly higher when he plays, whether by his own action or desperate cover from the likes of Ramires or Mikel. Statistically Kalou and Malouda are brilliant, the reality is they are average players who are far too inconsistent to be at this club, regardless of their ability to win matches. My point; Luiz is a wonderful and exciting defender but there is more than one way of perceiving a fact or statistic...
  2. You're a dick, hate to say I told you so.
  3. Games like today are ones where you miss Essien.
  4. PRECISELY. It was just 'one of the those games' that could have gone either way. Although we didn't really deserve anything more than a point...
  5. Yes, this is a good experience for the defenders to learn and adapt. Ultimately silly defensive lapses have cost us today, but you have to applaud Arsenal's quality and spirit and accept the better of the two sides won today - albeit through fortuitous circumstances.
  6. Yes, I though that Mata, Lampard and he were excellent. Meireles was quality when he came on, he gives us much more going forward than Mikel and he is equally disciplined. I really think we should have Ramires-Meireles at the base of the midfield because one marauds and the other sits, and because they are so dynamic it gives Lampard licence to roam forward too. That would be my one criticism of AVB today, it was the defence and the goalkeeper which cost us the result.
  7. At least we get a chance to rectify this on Tuesday in Genk, that may help confidence.
  8. Precisely. If we win against Genk in midweek and then get a couple of back-to-back wins in the league against Blackburn and then Liverpool and we'll be in a happy place again. Keep the faith.
  9. Blackburn vs Chelsea FA Premier League Saturday 5th November - 3pm kick-off Match chat here!

  11. An example of why I am slowly becoming disillusioned with this forum. I'll sign out now before I start berating these so-called supporters. We weren't good enough today. Arsenal's spirit was impressive, but the Santos goal so soon after half-time properly threw a spanner in the works. Every cloud has a silver lining; we will learn well from our defensive mistakes, I feel. Andre's attacking approach is refreshing and great to see, but of course it only comes under criticism when we lose. I do agree our tactics were again somewhat naive, but Andre is learning and in fairness this was one of those crazy games that could have gone either way. Don't look too much into it. A poor way to ruin my day off though.
  12. He certainly doesn't help himself with some of the crap he comes up with.
  13. Same. I feel embarrassed, angry and disappointed.
  14. It's difficult to update it. Well, time-consuming more than anything. I was thinking it might be an idea to get an RSS Feed at the top...
  15. Is that the number of sendings off we'll amass?
  16. Yep, exactly. Now people see one of the reasons why I like members not being able to remove their 'edited by' tags.
  17. This thread should be renamed 'The List of Good Things and Bad Things by David Luiz,' which is what it has descended to.
  18. If it wins us the game against Arsenal I don't care who scores it.
  19. The whole story is being fuelled by YouTube users.... namely plastic United fans still smarting from their bad result against City. I know we've had a few bad results over the years, but this 1-6 in the head.
