Don't think it's down to age Emaharg.

Players like Dani Alves,Capdevilla(a few years back),Zanetti,Maldini,Cole even Neville were decent or in some cases great in attack, yet still proved defensively capable when called upon in their 30's.

Now I'm not comparing Fish 'n' Chips (that's his new nickname) to legends of the game, but without doubt, he's just shat. No excuses. And this guy used to play for Brazil. Laughing

Thing is Santos is the same age as Sagna, yet Sagna's fitness, work rate and stamina makes Santos look 129 :facepalm:

Sagna is a predator, with a broken leg he can do better than Santos. Very Happy

Santos was alone last night, Poldi didn't backtrack and Coquelin barely had time to bail him out the few times he did. He was utter shite especially with his gung ho tackle on Farfan that failed but to scapegoat him for the entire match which we looked like toothless puppies is too much.

by Lex Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:38 pm

Santos was at partially at fault for the first goal, second goal was ALL him

by MJ Thu Oct 25, 2012 2:45 pm

I know, but he can't be blamed for Poldi's inability to give a shit about his defensive duties or our awful attack. Santos was never good enough to start in our XI but that was known since day one. We need players who aren't only good enough for the bench but good enough to compete with our starters.

Santos is this season has extra weight on him I remember how everyone made fun of him when he first came cause he said how much he liked fish and chips maybe catching up on him. hmm

Can Miquel play LB? I hope Wenger looks in to it.

by Le Samourai Thu Oct 25, 2012 11:22 pm

Try out Verm at left back for the time being. He's going forward at pretty much any chance anyway.

Why are we blaming Santos when our forwards cant do shit? we dont have a *bleep* striker.

Gervinho is being compared to Henry is sadder than today's game.

that is the utmost insult for Henry.. this guy doesnt have a fraction of his skills or passion and not to mention brain... drunken

I can remember you guys defending him when I told you he was bad.

may be a good decision atm.. Vermelen is nowhere near his form this season...
But Wenger wont do that.. Santos is in the team as a specialist LB (whether he is able or not is another matter).. Gibbs is injured.. so i cant see Wenger benching him and giving chance to another player when he is fit to play..
i feel the problem is not only with Santos but with the tactics.. we dont have a true LW/LM.. instead Gibbs frequently makes up for it.. most of our attack comes from left wing.. Gibbs could manage it with his pace and stamina.. he gets injured.. So we call Santos and asks him to do the same.. that is too much.. we must change the tactics.. it would have been much better if he was asked to stay back and concentrate on defending.. Santos is not that bad.. We have seen that last season..

All i remember of Santos last season is him getting the ball deep in our own corner flag, trying to skill his way past four opposing players, losing the ball and fouling whoever stole the ball off him for a free kick

But the problem is, is there a left-back around at the minute, to come in and compete with Gibbs for the first-team place or even sit on the bench? I can't think of many.

I'm not talking about Southampton's Luke Shaw either.

I remember Cacktrao has been saying he wants to leave Madrid because he doesn't get enough love/he is hated, but he wants to go back to Benfica tho maybe Arsenal could snap him up hijacking whatever deal that might come of it. He would be a great LB for Arsenal imho, giving you solidarity and another option in attacks sometimes

by urbaNRoots Sun Oct 28, 2012 12:22 pm

Coentrao would be a great signing... would displace Gibbs from the first team, surely.

Can imagine the price only....

Well he did secure 3rd spot for us with that strike against West Brom, but we need to move on from last season.

Things have changed, and while Santos remains a character I like, his game time needs to be reduced for the good of the team. eco smile

by Lex Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:51 pm

Once again, a million miles away from the attacker, gave Valencia all the time in the world to cross. Vermaelen should have done WAY better with the clearance, but this is just a precursor of things to come

by Rev Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:59 pm

Knew this was coming the second Santos fecked up. Laughing

by LeBéninois Sun Nov 04, 2012 3:55 pm

I won't blame a player for not being Arsenal's quality .

We've bought him and made him start so the fault is ours

This guy is not a good defender. if he was playing LW at least he could've been OK.

Why did we sign Park, Santos, Squilacci, ?? :facepalm:

At least Chamack, djourou, Bendter haves some quality

by Lex Sun Nov 04, 2012 5:19 pm

Raped so badly yesterday by Valencia, i actually cringed

by Lex Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:03 pm

Wasn't happy with a draw, tried to gift Liverpool a goal at the end, but thankfully, was too crap and mis-controlled the pass to Suarez

Come back, Gibbs

by urbaNRoots Wed Jan 30, 2013 10:29 pm

Man is a disgrace to Arsenal - heard Fenerbahce want him back, give him for free if need be.
