[Archived] Arsenal in the 5th Round of the Cup *PLEASE DONT ASK FOR STREAMING LINKS!*

[budha]

keep playing like this then its only a matter of time, im against the sit back and soak up everything and try and get one chance style, makes us look simple

No matter how we play, odds say it's only a matter of time..

[callumrovers]

It's all in our 1/3rd. Worrying.

That is slightly worrying! Never expected anything different anyway

[DE.]

Kamara keeps calling Jake Kean "Jack" Kean... and I swear he just said Bradley Whore.

[Roverthechimp]

Almost own goal from Orr.

I'm not complaining about letting arsenal have possession, merely reporting as it's on live tv here :-)

We need to relax when we have the ball though, a lot of anxious passes going astray

[callumrovers]

Im glad to see us being well organised, hard to breakdown and gritty, than fancy, trying tricks etc. You play like that against Arsenal and you will be spanked.

Need to get to half time at 0-0

[G Somerset Rover]

Defending extremely well. But the one major negative is that as soon as we get possession we just hoof it up field and Rhodes is never going to beat their centre halves in the air.

As I say we need somebody to put their foot on it and regain our composure.

Lowe is like a rabbit in headlights every time he gets the ball too.

[Roverthechimp]

Great ball from Hanley almost released Olsson.

[callumrovers]

Hows Williamson playing?

[Roverthechimp]

Williamson looks ok - a few mistakes but working hard and doesn't look out of place

[G Somerset Rover]

Hows Williamson playing?

Getting stuck in reasonably well, but the same as with Lowe whenever he gets the ball. Tough debut.

[Roverthechimp]

Lowe and Dann (?) tackle each other and almost let arsenal in. Shocking dive by arsenal player in area but no booking

[Stuart]

Quiet stadium, isn't it? Must be the acoustics.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Aye, he puts himself about quite a bit does Williamson.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Bbc says Arse have 66% possession - sounds like we are on the back foot.

[Tom]

keep playing like this then its only a matter of time, im against the sit back and soak up everything and try and get one chance style, makes us look simple

Who cares how it makes us look? It nearly got us 3 points vs Brighton in a tough game

[Stuart]

Now that was a sitter for Gervinho.

Clean through one-on-one - wide.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Good chance missed by forehead.

[Roverthechimp]

Gervinho clean through misses target

[G Somerset Rover]

Gervinho just missed a sitter, Hanley left flat footed.

I know he's battling well, but EVERY SINGLE pass from Lowe has gone to the opposition.

[Roverthechimp]

I've defended lowe quite often but phuck me his passing today...

halftime 0-0 mission accomplished so far...

[Doug]

Half time 0-0 better than I had hoped. keep it up lads.

[Salgado Is A Hero]

Good halves from Kazim, Kean and the CBs as well.

Done well to get to half time at 0-0.

[callumrovers]

CKR up for this? Or is he in one of his cba moods?

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers have been well organised as a team. not letting get in behind the back four. only time they did and Gervinho miss a sitter. one of the worst players ever in PL history.

Kean has had only 3 saves to make so far.

[callumrovers]

Brilliant to be 0-0 at halftime at the Emirates.

If we can keep this tight we may be able to take them back to Ewood.

Don't know if that will be useful though especially with all the matches we will be playing.
