today

agreed although i wouldnt say the first goal was soft as in a well placed pass typical Aresnal goal the second goal was shocking but overall we got three points cant ask more than that[/quote]

Who did “Aresnal” play? :D

As people know me, I too said I wouldn’t judge Martinez on this first season, I think a lot of managers would struggle coming into a team where their best players had been sold.

Anyway, thought today we looked bright but also a nervous. For our players not to keep their shape on the pitch is pretty poor, there were a few times today when we looked completely out of shape and disorganised. I was feeling a bit angry just after half time, I was talking to some guy and said it is a shame that these very talented players don’t work to their full potential and seem to have very little fire in their bellies – I think the players must have heard me!!!! What a comeback!

I thought Diame again had a good match, constantly winning balls in our own half and starting attacks, thought Steve Gohuri looked very solid again, think this guy should get a contract. Morano also looked good but I don’t think he is suited to 451 or 433, he seems to be a traditional centre forward, I would like to see him and Rodders up front together but I know it isn’t going to happen.

When I saw Watson and McCarthy together in midfield I thought they would be completely overrun – I think Watson is a very good player and was glad that he had been out on loan so he could get football matches, it seems to have paid off. Both worked very hard and I am glad Watson got a goal…think he has scored a few for Wigan since coming here.

overall, very happy. Think we are safe, Hull have to win all of their remaining matches and we have to loose all of ours.

That was my thought when he went, he would not have made that impact had he been sat on the bench. It was a good move by Bob to lend him out.
