I think Naismith should just go, he is never going to get a fair crack from our fans. That much is obvious, he just isnt fashionable enough.
I have stuck up for him before because i thought he deserved it, pre-season he was a different player than last year.
Last night he actually played well. He was a constant pain for them, won so many headers against thier defense. Was neat and tidy at times and seemed to get in the right position on so many occasions.
The funny thing is that when he sent Kone through and Kone's shot was saved.... he still got stick from us?
He then found himself in the right position and we got a bit of luck and scored the winner. He also was involved in creating more chances, showed that he has a decent engine and is a willing runner. But still we want him out!
Naismith.... do yourself a favour and move if you get the chance!
Sorry, back onto the match.
I thought we had a very tidy game again but worry so much over our vunerability on the break. Ronaldo exploited us pre-season without having to try too much and since it seems to be a constant thorn for us.
Attacking wise we seem to be getting in the right position but shooting at the wrong times, or trying to emulate the old Arsenal and play the ball into the net.
I know Kone needs time and a goal to settle, but he should have had three last night.
Although we had a lot of chance we didnt seem to have many clear cut chances.
