So why are so many people talking about Arsenal's bad defence?
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?
-
Because people are stupid enough to listen
-
I tried to look for a compliment there but ....
-
It was too obvious to resist
-
I imagine it would be because the negatives are more of an issue with us because
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?

Why is Arsenals attack so bad Nic?

People Ain't no Good

I know, anyway, Sky Sports reviewed this w/e matches with Alan Curbishley and they spent about
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?
-
Because we are rubbish, even I know it
-
Because Sky Sports are a bunch of c**ts.... we have had a poor defence for 5 or 6 years
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.
-
I suppose they were all preventable. Ok, you can say that about nearly any goal but the Saints one,
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 the 5 that West Ham conceded were not?
-
Oh come on Nic, we are never going to be judged on the same level as West Ham
And we should thank our lucky stars for that.

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

OK, Man U, Man City and Spurs conceded double what we have but they talked about van Cnut etc.
-
I agree we conceded stupid goals but deserved criticism, all I was asking for was a balanced view
-
Would agree about Man U and Spurs. I've seen a fair bit about City but that always ends up with
-
exactly, they even find a +ve from a -ve

Re: I agree we conceded stupid goals but deserved criticism, all I was asking for was a balanced view
I think last week was a blip , may actually make defenders more determined to limit goals against ,
-
I hope so, I would like to see Mertersacker back
-
Re: I hope so, I would like to see Mertersacker back
Agreed , thought he might have be able to do a better job on Torres , anyway still in better position than this time last season .
-
Because we have such a useless coach. Worst in the world, probably
We keep conceding from set pieces. The cardinal sin in england. Zonal marking etc
-
Well, that goes without saying, Bould Out
-
Talkshite on Thursday morning - after Man City were humiliated by Dortmund but it was Arsenal that..
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...
