pleasant on the eye it will prove effective . As for Rodgers well at least the man is sticking to his principles and playing in the fashion he believes
will eventually prove fruitful ,I actually thought we played some lovely one touch football and are slowly starting to dictate possession with our passing.

I honestly believe Rodgers will definitely get this right if he is afforded patience and the time to force home his style of play ,lets face it the man seems
resolute in retaining the same formation and shape so its looking promising in that respect.

YNWA

the thing is though mate swansea had trouble converting possession into goals and at the moment we are having the same trouble ourselves.
for all the talk of total football our 3 goals have come right out of the stoke city handbook, 2 have them were from set pieces and the third was a scrappy goal after a defensive error by titus bramble, if we had to solely rely on `barcelona style` passing to open teams up we wouldnt have a single goal in 4 games.
whatever formation, system or philosophy you use, wether you play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 or use a christmas tree formation or whatever, wether you hoof the ball downfield or wether you knock it around like the 1970 brazil side it is all a means to an end, the idea of the game is to stick the ball in the opposition`s net and at the moment we arent doing that.

personally mate i dont think we can afford any more seasons in the wilderness, not if we want to hold onto our best players.
then again the way the club were trotting out the `every player has his price` mantra during the summer i dont think the club would be too bothered if we cashed in on the likes of suarez and agger. infact i think thats the road the club wants to go down in the future.
get big money for our star players and promote young players from our U21`s, thats the arsenal way and i think thats the blueprint FSG are using for our future.

I am.
We are not as controlling in these games, or as dominant as people are saying. We have played Ok, not brilliant.

People are saying we should have beat City, but they had 65% of posession. Yesterday was about 50/50. We certainly were not dominant.
