Good segue to my latest philosophical question, Bear.

In a case of perfect attacking vs. perfect defending, which wins?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Seaman as well - was going through a stage around then of diving backwards to high shots and unsurprisingly loads were going in. If he stands up it doesn't get past him.

It was a great game though. Great season in fact.

Ultimately perfect defending will always beat perfect attacking IMO. Some goals could be seen as undefendable, but there's always better positioning or anticipation possible with every goal.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Put it this way, there's a reason why Mourinho wins titles and Wenger no longer does.

 

[Alan]

Ox's hamstring gone. Shame for him.

Just me or has Arsenal constantly got four or five players with muscle injuries like that?

Guess this explains some of that good old British cynicism! :icon_lol:

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Chris Smalling doing his best to give Arsenal a goal...

 

[Freddeno]

Why oh why is smalling a man u player?

 

[Alan]

Rojo and Young on the Utd left is begging to be exploited but Arsenal have useless Oezil on that side.

 

[Nando]

Ooops, Welbeck!

Valencia :icon_lol:

 

[Alan]

HAhahahahahahahahahaha

 

[The Bear]

Awful stuff from Utd.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Best pass Valencia's made in five years.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

What an absolutely dogshit back pass that was. Truly horrendous.

 

[Alan]

Not sure what the fuck Jones and Valencia are thinking there but to be fair on Welbeck that touch around De Gea was classy.

 

[Nando]

Neville---Ferdinand---Vidic---Evra

Now look at the state of the defence. Shambolic.

Jones has had long enough to show his worth. If anything, he's getting worse and worse.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Jones looked like he would be a beast when he broke through at Blackburn, hasn't pushed on at all. Arguably regressed.

I genuinely wouldn't want Rojo at Wolves, he is shocking.

 

[Alan]

Di Maria is making no friends in Manchester tonight.

I don't think Phil Jones is that bad in truth but he has a winger on one side of him and Wes Brown/John O'Shea 2.0 on the other. That doesn't make things easy. Like Batth playing next to Doherty.

Where was this opinion when I was getting all kinds of stick for saying Rojo wasn't all that during the World Cup PTG?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I was with you if you go back and check. He was horrific then and he's horrific now.
