good performance from Oxlade if he can just improve his ball retention a bit he will be starting more games for us. I can't wait to see him.....love the way he just goes past players easily

by SamuelJayC Thu Nov 10, 2011 10:31 pm

Oxlade-Chamberlain received the official espn man of the match award tonight. I thought he played well but wasn't exceptional.

Nevertheless he performed well and stood out along with some others. Continues to impress and improve.

His dribbling and ability to beat people is certainly his strength. Tonight I thought he was a bit too eager to produce something, be it a cross, shot or taking on another man.

But he's still very young as a player and if he continues like this he'll be a star.

If only Walcott could do that, he could become one of the greatest.

Very nice and clever.

Does anyone know what's Park's goal per game ratio since he joined us? I really think it's ridiculously good.

by SamuelJayC Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:24 pm

Last training tonight confirmed Koscielny will start tomorrow for France vs USA alongside Rami in the centre.

I am really glad for him and he deserve to play. I hope he can stay there for long time.

Wenger on TF1: "Klinsmann asked me to talk to the USA players about high level football, so i'm going to see them after the match."
-----------
France XI vs USA: Lloris- Debuchy, Koscielny, Rami, Mathieu - Diarra, M'Vila, Menez, Ribery- Gameiro, Benzema.

by RealGunner Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:50 pm

Koscielny has been excellent for france

by SamuelJayC Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:47 pm

Ok, updating first post right now.

by Jay29 Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:04 pm

Apparently, Szczesny didn't play too well for Poland. One of Italy's goals was from distance and his positioning was dodgey.

This from a Polish poster I know on another forum.

This defintely seems to be Szczesny's biggest weakness at the moment. Even stats show that he's let in the most goals from outside the penalty area in the league.

by RealGunner Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:07 pm

he rushes out WAAAY too fast at times

by Jay29 Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:14 pm

Here's Balotelli's goal:

http://www.101greatgoals.com/videodisplay/golazo!-mario-balotelli-poland-15678630/

Szczesny's positioning here is not right. Even if the shot swerved and dipped, it wasn't in the corner. Also consider that Szczesny is 6'5''.

by SamuelJayC Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:30 pm

Robin van Persie will be rested and not play against Germany on Tuesday, at the request of Arsene Wenger. http://bit.ly/vtJt7r

by SamuelJayC Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:33 pm

RVP + Djourou change shirts at half-time: http://bit.ly/vF5ZpE

by Jay29 Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:34 pm

So van Persie has made it through all of the international breaks this season unscathed. What a relief.

Now we need the rest to come back okay.

by RealGunner Fri Nov 11, 2011 11:39 pm

i am really worried that we are getting too reliant on RVP.
