AFCG7 said:qstew ... about Cygan.. the problem is the defense seems very hesitant when he plays as if they dont know what he will do. SOmetimes CYgan will play a game very well and then **** up immensely . I doubt there are many ARsenal fans filled with confidence when they see CYgan in the lineup.
Kolo Toure, who I thought had a very good game, was absolutely abused by the big Greek whose name I would rather not spell. On that play the Greek turned Kolo and got behind him in the box. Although it can and will happen to any defender, if that had been Cygan the fans would be screaming. Not a word was mentioned.
Kolo let Sneijder behind him in the first minute and Ajax should have scored. Not a word was mentioned.
Phil horribly misjudged a bouncing ball and the attacker was 1V1 with Lehmann. Not a word has been mentioned.
Cygan is judged by a different standard than our other defenders and is therefore almost always unjustly criticized. He is a good-not-great player on a great-not-good team. But he is misjudged by a bunch of horrendous-not-bad "fans". These are peope who want to feel better about themselves by writing negatively about someone. Since it is highly acceptable to write negatively about Cygan, they do so.
Just because one writes something bad about Cygan doesn't make that person an insecure loser. But it is probably the case.
