Best line of the night from Gary Neville: As Harry hugged Modric as he came off he said: "He doesn't even cuddle his wife like that."

I like those stats but it doesn't help the game conversion rate. We are still the numero uno team that loses from a winning position this season in the Prem and while we might have a good CDM that doesn't help when defenders are still plagued with an improper holding system at the back. I don't even see how chasing people like Cisokho makes any sense when the middle of the back-line needs an experienced person to keep the line together. Jamie is good but he is past his time and that is the part of the pitch we need someone in just as much as we need a CAM right now.

Stats showed Denilson to be the best passer in the league, even higher than Fabregas. Thats not the truth though, is it? He was one of the worst players Ive watched in an Arsenal shirt. Ofcourse, Lucas has been pretty good for the last 2 seasons. Nothing worth parading about, but solid. He still needs to be imprint himself on games more often.

If Lucas had a better distributive range I'd rank him higher but the problem is that he is also a close-quarter player. I expected a much better partnership between him and Charlie or even Steven but they force the wider play so often and his long pass is next to non-existent. With the heavy investment in a faster wing system at Anfield the midfield system going from the back needs to capitalize on open slots on the wings for the opposition and that has not happened from a defense-to-attack play at all this season. Everything happens inside the opponents half line and if they can even fix that we might see better penetrative play and possibly more goals.

 

Btw, is Anelka thinking about a move to Asia in January? I think its superb

no.Cant believe they are not showing Napoli vs ManC :doh: The only game tonight to look forward 2 is not shown and Lille and Villareal games are shown :lol:

 

Umm Villareal is playing Bayern why wouldn't that be worth a watch considering what happened in the last game that Bayern played before the international friendlies?
