People are already saying Henry can't play with Reyes and now your suggesting he can't play with V Persie?
Bergkamp is past his best and there isn't a player around who can replace him. If Reyes and V Persie can't play with Henry then maybe there is nobody who can. Or we use a creative midfielder who can supply both Henry and V Persie. Im not sure.
In terms of V persie today, although he was only on for a 10 minutes, there was a definate difference in him since i saw him last. He was taking no more than two touches of the ball..give and go the Arsenal way.
The following quotes from Wenger and Cole back my point up...
http://www.reuters.com/locales/c_newsAr ... ID=8201533
"He has improved his game," said Wenger, "He is less flashy and has worked on his temperament. You can see he plays a little bit like Dennis Bergkamp and took his two opportunities very well."
Cole said....
"He has done brilliantly, trained really hard, changed his game a little to keep it down to one or two touches and today he scored two great goals."
For me, the only problem with V Persie was the fact he was too flashy and held onto the ball too long. It seems he may have fixed that side of his game.
In terms of his temprement, lets not be too harsh.
Vieira in his youth got sent off every other week.
Bergkamp has always had a bit of a nasty streak in him and that is still there to this day.
V Persie had a mean childhood, I can't remember the details but i do remember he was attacked by Feynoord fans once and grew up playing football in a ****ty area on the streets, "cage football" or something?? Thats why he is a little rash, but that will go with time. He is maturing.
I don't see how he can not start on wednesday.
Reyes on the other hand is another kettle of fish. Im really worried about him. He has no end product these days, none at all.

Jens-Good.. no mistakes
Ralph-Good... worked hard
Ash-Good..some ok runs
Kolo-Very Good...when he left Neill on his arse I thought he'd blast it but he cut it back ...better decision with Friedals form
Senderos-Very Good...1 or 2 little lapses looking better every game
Paddy-Very Good....Stood up to mass mugging to run the midfield
Gilberto-Exellent...For our defensive midfielder he sure got up enough, provided a threat at set-pieces and but for Friedal would have had 2 goals! welcome back son
Freddy-Poor.... Was injured
RP-Very good....Especially in the 1st half faded somewhat
Bergy-Average...Quiet by his standards
Jose-Poor...I don't know why gooners were applauding him...can pack his sombrero for all I care
Cesc-V good...provided spark and on the right after freddie Arsène should keep him there, I love this kids attitude
Ali-Average...needs time to work himself back in
Robben Vans-Exellent....He was only on for 10 minutes and made this game memorable, great finishing, best natural finisher we've got

Vieira was collossal today.
I also thought le Bob did well, Reyes looked good except for his shooting. And Ash was great. Van Persie? Different class.
Unfortunately, Dennis showed why he shouldn't be offered another contract.

what was wrong with what reyes did? i thought he did well,get off his back. bergkamp did bugger all, if it wasnt for friedal reyes could have scored 2 goals.on another day and another keeper be a different story.
for me i thought he did great, very nice touches, was teasing blackburn on a few occasions.but we needed a focal point today, reyes and bergkamp not a good mix. why wenger not bring RVP on earlier i do not know, what his problem?dont get it at all. bergkamp did nothing all game, it makes me sad to see him like this.
use him as the sub from now on dammit!

A bit harsh. Considering he was on for 3 minutes tops, and actually was involved with van Persie's second goal, I think he deserves a 'Decent' or 'OK'. Average makes it sound like he played a fair bit of the game and didnt do much.

they were both poor, they both played individual games and no one refused to step up to the mantle, reyes played a fast wide game more as a decoy than anything else and their was no one up with him or in the centre to help him so he should've used his brain to play more centrally and thus resulted in looking poor, though i'm pretty sure i'd be less harsh had he scored.AdamT said:
and Dennis well, i'm getting a bit ****ed off with him dragging more opposition players into an already packed midfield hoping that he's about to make an impact, saying that he ran well and singlehandetly mounted pressure on their defence at times trying to force an errer. they both had good points but both were ultimately poor.
as i said in the other thread, you can't combine two non-goal scorers and expect results.

given the length of time he was on i thought he looked very good.Gunner4Eva said:

Because we could all see he's trying his best but nothing is coming good for him, he looked dissappointed when he came off, probably because he knew he hadn't played well, encouragement from the fans is what he needed.

Thought I'd just come back and give you my view on it (I haven't read through much of the thread, so I might go over old ground a bit).
Well after setting off at 4.15 I swapped between being wildly optimistic 'this time in 5 weeks this'll be the cup final bus' and the realisation that we was actually playing Arsenal! Arrived at about 11, but had a bit of a traumer as the lad who we was sitting with had broke down on the m4, but thanks to the RAC man we resolved that situation.
As for the game, well it wasn't much different to how I expected. We had the first couple of chances from free kicks mind. For the first 20 minutes or so it was pretty even I thought. But then we started to lose our discipline and you got on top. Friedel made an ace save from Reyes. But once again we give you a goal just before half time. Thommo (who was sh!t all game) gave away a free kick and following that you scored. I feel we could have defended a bit better then.
In the second half we come back out a bit more fired up. I thought we did quite well in containing you for much of the half, Friedel made another great save. THen there was that rather embarrasing part when you did about 70 passes in a row and after that Savage came on. Then if we were to get anything we had to push forward (with our excellent attacking force). When we went 3-4-3 thats when you got in behind us twice and got the 2 goals.
I think had it stayed 2-0 that would be a better reflection on the game, 3-0 just seems a bit harsh.
We played against you the only way we could imo. Maybe we was over physical - yes, the Flitcroft and the Savage challenges were terrible (not sure how Savage wasn't booked) - but I dont think we deserved a lot of the crap we've got in the papers today :x But also you aren't shy of putting in strong challenges, you cant have it both ways. And I know I'm biased but I dont think that Todd's collision was on purpose.
What else do I have to say before I shut up? Erm, our fans. There might have been big gaps, but the 17,000 or so of us all made the most of it and did us proud. And I got to sit in a £55 seat even though I paid £45.
So all in all it was a good day. The top and bottom of the matter was that we played ok, but you were just better. For me, its only been ruined by all the crap thats been spouted in the press today (but they didn't like us in the first place so balls to em!)
I was just proud to see us in a semi final, hopefully we can go all the way someday.
Oh yea I hope you batter the **** in the final

Went to the game on saturday - great day!
Got to Cardiff at about 10.15 and spent most of the morning in Hard Rock cafe having a full on steak, burger salad the lot. Left to a table of gooners pointing at me singing Fabregas ohohohoh he's only 17 etc...reckoned i looked like the Spaniard!
Match was a nail biter until the last ten minutes when we could relax and am glad that todays papers concentrated on criticising Blackburns kick-anything-that-moves tactics which spoiled a proffessional footballing display by our guys. Anyway the cheering on those 45 passes was woth the train/match ticket combined!
