Not in this world Bonathan – Nasri could actually if he is willing to learn.

Yes, Tottenham lost 3-2 in their champions league qualifier match against swiss Young Boys.
Champions league is for the big ones only.

youve got to get over hleb and flamini. They were excellent, and we know they were and thats why Arsenal were so successful, but them times have passed and now we should focus on what current players we have.

Diaby played well, although i always think he is more effective in an attacking role but with wilshire and nasri pushing forward he was made redundant in sundays game.

@ Kodjo: Your tactical assumption. And of cos Nasri and Diaby don’t move the ball the way that suits our game which involves quick movement and swift passes – based on what I saw on Sunday that didn’t happen and the players you have to hold responsible is the two central midfielders on that day which happened to be Diaby and Nasri I would not want to invlove Wilshere ( I think he still needs to go out on loan).

I do talk about Hleb a lot because I do know how much we miss his ball retaining ability and precise passing – I will pay anything to have him and flamini back.

@ Berth

When you say moving the ball quickly ….to whom? Nasri was basically on his own… sure he could have been direct but he was always faced with 3 defenders around chamakh. nasri had limited options as eboue was not offering the necessary width and arshavin was marked out.

diaby had to keep an eye on j.cole and help wilshere out as well. sure in the 2nd half apart from the first 15 mins diaby was okay as he didnt have to worry about j.cole anymore.

i’m sure we both agree that nasri is not hleb….so you’d be asking too much of him…and basically comparing 2 disimilar players….Kieran has already touched on this so i wont say much.

as much i’d love diaby & nasri to move the ball quickly …i’d rather they keep possession than to give it away cheaply. some fans were critisizing diaby for giving the ball away last season now he is keeping the ball and actually played in song’s role against l’pool it has become a problem??? i guess diaby can’t win……

Berth what assumptions did i make ???

Serious Bonathan. You have got a good point. However, as long as we do not get someone who can shot Drogba like Vidic and Rio always do we dont stand a chance.

@ dev
maybe you are being a bit to negative about the result because if you think about it i could imagine chelsea, united and spurs going to liverpool and getting beating. we were playing a team that were buzzing about a new so called era at the club and the sending off seemed to get their spirits up, they came out fired up and got a stupid goal, then we had 45 mninuted to break down a pretty solid team without our two best players in cesc and van persie, i really dont think a point away at anfield is a band result and its something to build on.

sonme of the people on here are critisicing wenger for not playing van persie and fabregas but maybe we should just believe wenger that cesc did have an infection which he could of easily caught once he got back from mexico and we all know van persie’s injury history so why not give hinm 15 minutes like he did and let him use this week to intensivley train to get fit for blackpool which im sure he is doing, if you add fabregas, van persie and song to our line up it would be pretty impressive and hopefully the rest he gave those guys will help us in the long term by preventing stupid injuries!
