That is where Suarez comes in

I thought we were solid, Nasri is Arsenal's best player and Lucas just can't seem to keep up with him, even the pace of the game is too fast for him.

Downing, Kelly and Enrique looked good

and ONLY ME, what about Scezny's save from Carroll's header eh? that's a goal scoring chance, stop talking shyte

Yep we look generally solid and are having the lions share of the posession. Not many times in recent years we have been able to say that against Arsenal.

We just need a bit more teeth up front. Plus that frimpong is gonna get sent of I can see it now.

they look so poor! both are slow and both are not dynamic, praying for Gerrard to comeback now

Anyway, I think we'll manage to nick one with this lineup and might push on once Suarez comes on. We were the better team overall in the first half.

.
his pace is off and arsenal are walking straight through him everytime,the more tired he gets the more consistent he fouls.

Sorry Metalhead, it just says Bloodzeed HQ. No idea how I can check the channel number...

no worries mate, someone posted it on here

I've also got it on channel 116230 - not such a good stream, but nice to have a backup!

He's put in a couple of fantastic balls (including the one Carroll nearly scored), but he's messed up quite a few set pieces. Kelly has done a bit better than Flanno and Lucas is having another quiet game. Carroll isn't doing too bad. He's not doing as well as against Sunderland when it comes to winning the balls, but he's definitely getting them where they need to go when he does.

I think the problem with Carroll right now is he sees the pressure he puts on their defenders and gets called fouls for it even tho he's barely touching him.. As soon has they start grabbing him he's assuming he'll get a foul, but the refs doing us no favors.

Agger's actually been quite good as well.

I do wonder sometimes what game some posters watch ? Are you that desperate for Adam to do well you make stuff up ? It was Enrique who played the ball in for Carroll . I'm so glad some of you lot never go to the games - the negativity stinks .

Get behind the team ffs .

Carroll is really hopeless right now. Even his off-the-ball work is terrible. He needs to be subbed. Get Suarez on NOW!

Ridiculous post.

Carrol is doing ok.. nothing spectacular but OK. We need to get some creativity on there, but not diminish the goal threat. Suarez for Kuyt and a solid 442 would do it.

Hendo out to the right, Downing left with Lucas and Adam in the middle. Carrol and Suarez up top.

by **tubby** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:00 pm

Poor touch from Carroll there. Need to get Suarez on.

Ridiculous?

Are you watching the game? First off...Carroll is never in a good position to receive the ball unless someone is whipping a cross into him. He is never in a good position to have the ball passed on to him for him to run on to. And, when someone does pass the ball to him he either does not run on to it fast enough or he gets closed down to quickly to do anything with it. Every time he gets the ball he fizzles out with it.

by **Zidane** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:01 pm

That was a poor ball from Adam dunno why these announcers said it was good, he overhit it Carroll was in

by **ethanr** » Sat Aug 20, 2011 2:01 pm

Dam!!!!!!! If Adam's ball was just slightly better Carroll is thru... or if that was Suarez then he's definitely thru. I thought that was in when I heard it nick the post, I thought that was it drilling the net.

So close... Just keep that up and we're destined to get one.

And furthermore...

The more time passes the more Carroll looks like a "utility" player. A "utility" player in the sense that he is good in the air. So far he has not shown that he can be a serious threat up front.

yes, because he is being asked to receive the ball 40 yards from goal.

We are playing too deep and packing the midfield which causes our back four to hoof it.

this will also create space in midfield for Adam to get into the game in the right areas, which brings in Downing and Hendo.

Put someone up there with him to actually win those second balls and we will see it differently.
