sevilla 3 - 1 arsenal

:(

arsenal was totally having an off-day this morning
i have no idea why, they just didn't click

passes sloppy, mistakes made repeatedly
sevilla really deserved their win over arsenal, i admit
if i wasn't an arsenal fan, and this was the first arsenal match i've ever seen, i would have thought that arsenal was a sucky team
but they're not the rest of the time

i quite like sevilla as a team
except for a few rough players, the rest were quite fine
and their manager looks like a decent character too
their fans were well-behaved,
and quite nice to clap for francesc fabregas when he was substitutedand was walking off the pitch
what with him being spanish too
if i were a spanish la liga watch-er, i probably won't mind supporting sevilla

dodo scored first
but then everything went downhill from there on

i was so freaking disappointed
really
why?
why were they so terrible today?
i don't understand

is it because hleb, flamini, van persie are out?
is it because noob players were playing?
is it because they switched off, knowing that they didn't need to win this game, having already qualified for the next knock-out stages of this competition?

grrrrr
armand traore and phillipe senderos especially
so many mistakes
they gave the ball away to sevilla so many times
granted, armand traore may be only 18 y. o.
but he's playing with the big boys now
and senderos just doesn't defend very well
*sighs*
even veteran players like gilberto were totally off
mayhaps it was a conspiracy on his part
he wants to move out of arsenal, to juventus, so maybe he wanted to sabotage arsenal?
hahah
what a long shot

theo walcott, when he came on, was a breath of fresh air
great pace, nice runs
he's played first division football quite regularly, so maybe he's more experienced that traore
and nicklas bendtner was stable most of the match


but terrible overall
simply terrible
sevilla deserved their win
arsenal deserved to not win
*sighs*
so tired
had to wake up at 3.30 to catch this match
though it's not exactly a waste of time, it has been very disappointing

so i'm going to sleep now
good night/ morning

fina

luis fabiano of sevilla, on arsenal, before the match:

"Fabiano admitted that he is a big fan of Cesc Fàbregas, but believes that Arsenal's biggest strength is the unity that have.

“The best player for Arsenal is the team," he said. "They have a good defence, a great midfield and up front are people who are capable of scoring goals at any moment. We cannot give them any chance.
I have watched some of their games and their great star is Fàbregas.
For me he is one of the best players in his position in Europe. We will have to stop him.”

How i wish arsenal showed all this quality in the match...

p.s. sevilla is quite a good-looking team
hahah
must be because they're a spanish la liga team- loads of tall, dark, and handsome people

p.p.s. will post later about yesterday- ice-skating= fun!
