SBN Bolton Perspective: Lion of Vienna Suite
If a Carling Cup match takes place in London, but it's not televised, does The Ox score a goal? LET US FIND OUT.
Feel free to comment on a match you cannot see; if you have a subscription to Arsenal Player, at least you can hear it though.
That shouldn't stop anyone from making things up. It'll be more fun that way.
Arsenal: Fabianski, Yennaris, Squillaci, Vermaelen, Miquel, Coquelin, Frimpong, Benayoun, Chamberlain, Arshavin, Park.
Bolton: Bogdan, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Gardner, Muamba, Pratley, M Davies, Kakuta, Tuncay, Klasnic.

good play by Ashravin, Park tried to guide it into the back of the net
pushed away for the corner
Yennaris
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
Dream goal!

Yen at RB.
Probably our standard 4-2-3-1 system. ESPN are somewhat amateur sometimes. Yennaris is listed as a midfielder normally so they probably had him listed there.
Back line is Verm-Squil-Miquel-Nico
Indeed!
You’re doing God’s work here.
(Although the “Benayoun shoots wide” update made me chuckle and wonder if you were just making up believable events.)

I'm actually watching youtube clips and piecing them together into a game
Captain, there are doubt''s...
I hope you're choosing appropriate musical accompaniment
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
Of course, when we played them in the league, it was 0-0 at HT
Of course, we had van Persie then.
AAARRRRRRRSSSSSHHHHHHHHAAAAAAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNN!
Dream goal!
@Orbinho HT stats
HT Stats Arsenal v Bolton Shots 10-4 On target 3-2 Passing Accuracy 84%-74% Fouls 4-4 Duels Won 43%-57% Possession 56%-44%
So it's Arshavin in the middle, as Ted has been hoping for
Apparently , “[Arshavin is]Playing very poorly but set up a couple chances.”

Like a new signing
AOC can't make header, but great buildup play between Arshavin,Benayoun, Park and Miquel

seriously that vision
he makes some bone-headed mistakes but he creates some chances that others wouldn’t be able to
Agreed
Here’s what BBC said about it:
Arshavin again picks the ball up from deep and drives towards the centre, taking three defenders with him before setting up Park Chu-Young, who curls in a superb effort into the far corner. Total switch around and Arshavin is the instigator… possibly being worked like a puppet by the genius mind of his manager.

I’m still new to Wengerball…what are the odds that we trot a traditional 4-4-2 out with Park and RVP up top?
I doubt it, but it could happen
Of course, we could put RvP deeper behind Park

Basically zero.
Chamakh wasn’t too far removed from a period of being one of the best players in the league when Robin came back last year and we still kept to formation.
Frankly it might be for the best, switching formations can create trouble for a team with questionable leadership and defensive organization.
great play by both Arshavin and Park

Beginning to think that things are looking up. The second string can put it together, somewhat. Bodes well for depth.

Kos matches up well with Torres type strikers, no one matches up well with Drogba but he is suspended so we're ok there.
I’d keep a preference for Kos at RB and Verm/Mert in the middle.

Haven't seen the video but BBC is all over Park's nuts because of the goal he scored today.
Hope Wenger takes note. I liked Chamakh but Park is in much better form right now. Give the man his shot in the league. (Not over van Persie obviously but he deserves his chances when we rest Robin or as a sub)
