Is there no Huddesfield thread?

Dont know Captain. He seems to give away the ball very cheaply - and usually simple ones. His reaction when he does that is inexplicable - he does nothing. Ach maybe todays performance is just colouring my view

First half he hussled well, 2nd half he slipped down a notch. Two ridiculous errors and not enough strength when it was coming on top for 20-25mins in the second half.

The absolute key to the game was the inability to finish in the first half hour; we had at least four very good opportunities and something like 80% possession up to that point. There was still a big weakness in the midfield during that time because Diaby was obviously unfit and they were able to get to our area in two passes because basically Denilson was defending there on his own and Chamakh and Arsh weren't pressing up front, but it wasn't too much of an issue because they barely had the ball.

That was shocking.

Thought Arshavin was our most dangerous player today. Badly needs a goal though. Denilson was absolutely terrible, wanted to shoot him today. Almunia is still a joke, though he had one great save. The less said about Squillaci the better.

Let's hope Nasri will be ok soon.

Rohit

That was ugly, very ugly.

Some of the defending - individually and as a team was absolutely rubbish.

Wenger shouldn't be making so many changes but it is not difficult to understand what he is thinking. We play Everton within the next 48 hours. Whoever did the schedule wasn't an Arsenal fan. We have played more games in January than we have ever done in our history.

It is difficult to come together when you are not playing regularly but some of what we saw from individuals is inexcusable.

Captain

Actually, thinking about it, Bendtner was man of the match today.

Tony Montana

I would have taken a replay if it meant Nasri remained injury free. Obviously it doesn't work like that but he's gonna be out for ages. He has to with a hamstring.

Timbob

A hamstring injury can be anything from 1-2 weeks to months and months. No idea how badly Nasri is injured at this stage.

Tony Montana

He will be out for weeks if not months. Guaranteed. No way he comes back after 1-2 weeks with a hamstring.

Captain

Well Denilson was back in 2mins so you never know...

Tony Montana

Maybe that wasn't a hamstring.

Some peeps on A-M reckon he faked it.

That's exactly what I said. Could be a couple of weeks, could be a couple of months. At this stage we just dont know. No point speculating about him being out for "ages" when hamstring injuries can vary so much.

It might be a strain, it might be a tear, it might be just a bit of tightness (which can sometimes feel like a tear or strain at the time you do it).

Tony Montana

When I say weeks I mean more than 1-2 weeks as you originally said. I thought you meant a couple in it's literal meaning.

It was cramp.

Bendtner was very lucky for the peno btw.

USArsenal

i dont hink people on AM actually thought it, it was probably more a "hoped he faked it"

Wenger has already basically ruled him out of the Barca game.. bad things

why is it that players like Messi never get hurt?

thought it was a bit of a dive TBH.. he was touched, but he went down REALLY easy, as he was never getting to that ball even if he wasnt being blocked out

Timbob

Wenger On Nasri's injury...

"Nasri looks to have a serious hamstring injury. Usually it is three weeks, we have to see if it a Grade One because that can be two [weeks]."

est

Fucking hell.

Why was he playing in the first place? Rosicky seemed to be fit enough.

Timbob
