Senderos sucks! I really hope Wemger goes after Richards in January to give depth to the postion and to fill in for Toure while he’s at the African Cup of Nations. Senderos plays like a Tottenham player.

Sevilla 3-1 Arsenal @ FT

In short, the second half was dominated by Sevilla. They put enormous pressure on Traore and Hoyte and unfortunately both players crumbled. Their distribution out of defence became poor and Sevilla were able to get possession and take control of the match. In all reality Arsenal were lucky to only lose 3-1 and Wenger will be disappointed with the performance of his young side. Full credit to Sevilla though, who were very impressive at home.

Can’t say I’d be all that devastated if Arsenal drew a big team in the next round. The 1st choice team can beat anybody in Europe.

Everytime I see Sendros on the pitch I lose hope. Sevilla played better on the night but we should’ve got at least a draw if it wasn’t for Mr calamity Senderos add to that Gilberto was awful I thought this was his chance to show Wenger why he should be captain I think he gave up on that.His heart is not with Arsenal anymore. Arsenal could be facing one of the big guns in next round if sevilla win their last match.Bendtner had a good game held the ball well but no one around him for support Eduardo is a bit lazy he hardly leaves his spot or track back when he loses the ball.it wasn’t a full strengh squad so can’t complain too much.

We have lost our unbeaten run of 28 games in all competitons as we fall pray to Sevilla 3-1. Ref was a Sevilla supporter, i would bet my life on it. Good experience for young players and great game for Bendter. Quite upset about the loss. Especially after we took the lead. Just think about the prem. Villa Away, RVP is back for that game. Um got to go, dry my eyes with some tissue.

After a positive start, Arsenal’s young defence have really gone to pieces. Early Eduardo goal was nice, controlling the ball from Bendtner’s cross and then rounding the keeper before tucking away. Senderos gave away possession for the first goal, although it took a wonderful finish from the edge of the area by Keite. For the third goal, Traore very unlucky to give away a free-kick, which was then headed home superbly by Luis Fabiano. Eboue and Bendtner playing well but the young defence containing Senderos, Traore and Hoyte are struggling. Sevilla could easily be 3-1 up and Hoyte also lucky to be on the pitch after stamping on Adriano. All is not lost though, it’s an end-to-end game and there will be chances for Arsenal to score, just need to tighten up at the back. Thrilling match.

I want Eduardo to start because, we haven’t seen a lot of him and he is the sort of player who has quality. This is the perfect game for him to show that off. Bendtner for a brace! Fab4 hopefully starts! Surprisingly enuff, i want Lehmann to start!

I’m looking forward to seeing Hoyte. I have a feeling we won’t see Traore. It could be Diarra and Hoyte as the fullbacks.
