So why are so many people talking about Arsenal's bad defence?

[Nicosia Gooner]

Am I wrong in thinking that only Chelsea have conceded less goals (one i.e. 4 v 3) than us? and similarly, only Chelsea have a better goal difference than us 6 v 8

Man U have conceded 9, Man City 8 as has http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/spud.gif

So why are people mainly talk about Arsenal's defence when they discuss our chances?

we've not won a trophy for a bit.

Don't you think it would be strange to be that negative about the perennial English champions, the current English champions or the current European champions?

5 minutes discussing the goals that Arsenal have conceded and not a word about the rest of the team

They even showed the goal that Carroll scored against us when he played for Newcastle

Why don't they show some of our goals? All I am asking for is a balanced review, is that too much to ask for?

while you can improve things in a reasonably short time, it takes a while to build up the reputation for being solid and having a good defence.

Sky Sports are pandering to the majority of viewers. Why would they work hard to bring a balanced view when the majority of viewers are a bit thick.

the two Chelsea goals were certainly errors.

That said the Man U defence looks worse and little is said. Or maybe I just don't pick up on it

And we should thank our lucky stars for that.

The two conceded last yesterday brought memories flooding back , if less goals are conceded at end of season then all will be well , but defensively looked very dodgy last week , as kids always told watch the ball ,

[willich]

Sorry , last week

saying how good Hart is.

[willich]

I think last week was a blip , may actually make defenders more determined to limit goals against ,

[Nicosia Gooner]

[willich]

Agreed , thought he might have be able to do a better job on Torres , anyway still in better position than this time last season .

We keep conceding from set pieces. The cardinal sin in england. Zonal marking etc

[Hendon Gooner (Only Easy Day Was Yesterday))]

did not look good despite winning 3 - 1.

Alan Brazil was scathing about Arsenal saying that we looked very average....but for Man City's performance...he said he felt sorry for them...
