Zed Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 I think in recent games Mikel Arteta has been flatering to deceive Yes, hes full of is little twists and turn, back heels and lay offs Bur there is no really cut and thrust, he seems to be playing within himself Its time for him to show us how good he is at being a playmaker, there wasnt one decent through ball or incesive pass in the whole of the game COME ON MICKEY SHOW US WHAT YOUVE GOT AGAINST MAN SHITTY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooberman Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 i agree!! since the start of the season I've read numerous articles saying how great he's been and that he's the cornerstone of our rise up the table, and every game i've seen this year (including the preseason game against Celtic) the commentator has said when he's stepped up for a free-kick "Arteta is lethal from this range" - and I'm still yet to see him hit more than about 2 decent free-kicks!! must do better, or the same people that are praising him will turn on him, and then his confidence will be low..... well thats what i think anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 hmmmm he did make the goal.. but i agree hasnt been at his best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Agree to an extent, he sometimes fades but hes a great player and can change a game with a quality ball into the box. His cross against the toon was superb, he does need to put some more effort in though throughout the match. Quality player though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluenose Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 funny how we always focus on the negative things. i agree that he hasnt been his best. but he did set up cahill with a brilliant cross. he is a good player to have on the team and he certainly needs to put as much effort into his game rather than in his skill. because sometimes it isnt needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 He needs to take players on more than he does IMO, he's got more strength than you would think of someone his size, he's got the skill to destroy full backs he just needs to use it more.

I rate him very highly, just would like to see a bit more than he has given this season, last season he was immense and has shown is quality this season, in spells. I want to see him getting looked at for Spain, he's alot better than Garcia and I could see him cutting it internationally, if he doesnt get there then at least hes at the best league club in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFCfanatic Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 (edited) He dives aswell. Well maybe not dive but goes down very easily! i dont like that bout him. Class player tho Edited September 26, 2006 by EFCfanatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Class player tho 52025[/snapback] I couldnt give a shit about him diving if it gets us free kicks or penalties tbh. We are going to get decisions against us for other teams who's players dive so I dont have a problem with Mikky winning us a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 New system is pushing him a but wider, perhaps an adjustment thing?. I wouldnt be changing to much : dependant on opposition of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
