Was it me or was Jack Robinson quick ? I mean theo walnut didn't get past him by using pace as Jack caught up with him quite easily considering he's a defender and theo walnut is quick as well hmm :L


Fruitella is a badman sweet you get me?

really disappointed with jonjo shelvey again today, i know he's been out injured but he has consistently put in poor performances for us whenever he's appeared and doesn't seem to offer anything to the side other than making up the numbers. maybe a loan deal next season might do him good, deffo needs to get his head down and start improving


Yeah agree. I still don't see it with Shelvey. He's not pacey, he doesn't work hard. Defensively he's poor, he's poor in the air. He doesn't read the game especially well, so his movement is average. First touch is ok, but not special, his passing is ok but not special.

So why is he rated so highly? Must be doing something in training, because I can't see it yet. Every time I've seen him, he's been poor.


yea i agree. he was hailed as a player who dictated the tempo of the game with his passing ability in midfield or playing off the striker. labelled as the perfect protégé to work under gerrard.

just don't see it myself either.

the most annoying thing about him today... instead of just getting on his bike and running with the ball whilst on the counter he'd just hold the ball up with his arms out open wide waiting for an option when there was only one player ahead of him. i've seen him do it a few times now

i was very impressed with young robinson. he had a very good game and he seems to have lots of pace. but i think it has to be said he got a lot of help from lucas and spearing. when ever robinson was up against wallcott, lucas was there doubling up on walcott making it very hard for him to really test robinson as a one on one.(in most cases)

in my humble opinion lucas was MOTM. he was everywhere and seemed to get the ball rather then give free kicks away. he looked like a proper DM today

Lucas in my opinion. The guy ran across the entire field especially helping out the young full backs. Everytime arsenals wingers get in behind he's there behind robinson or flanagen. He also dived for the penalty wink Well Done mate.

Lucas engineered the draw, by preventing them getting on the score sheet for 95 mins, and then produced both the free kick and the penalty after they went ahead. Shout out to Kuyt for that audacious attempt to lob the keeper at the death, and then making the penalty look much easier than it was.

I thought shelvy was genuinely awful, always went for the wrong option and always lost the ball. Found myself getting very annoyed. He needs t be loaned out and so far have not seen anything special in him that makes me think he was a good buy.

Lucas MOTM for me. Was fantastic again. Spearing put in a real fight all game was fantastic defensively and was an option (all be it not the most skilful one) going forward. Meireles I didn't think was that bad, he could have had 2 goals if suarez picked him out. Suarez obvs should have passed when he had that golden opportunity but he isn't normally overly selfish so Im not worried by it.
