SYG 0 Posted October 20, 2013 Needs to start playing, for me he is our best CB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orly 291 Posted October 20, 2013 Was very unlucky to be dropped. I would also give him a game - Bassong has been a little out of form, and perhaps could do with a little jolt to remind him that no-one is guaranteed a starting place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iron_stan 0 Posted October 20, 2013 turner has peaked, bennett is developingid play bassong and bennettwe really do need an upgrade at right back though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indy 3,471 Posted October 21, 2013 I have to say, think this lad is far better than Bassong and Turner at present, his form back end of the season and his perfromcance at Stoke was superb. Would like to see him start this weekend at the expense of Tunrer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 2,424 Posted October 21, 2013 The main problem with Bennett is his distribution is awful - agianst Stoke he kept running forward to the ball to around the half way line and then promptly passed it to a Stoke player. He was lucky it didn''t cost Norwich a goal, that would have been punished much more severly against Arsenal. He is still behind Turner, who was very solid against Arsenal, and Bassong in my opinion.

Indy 3,471 Posted October 21, 2013 How can conceding 4 goals and could have been more be classed as Solid Bethnal? I appreciate your comments and sort of agree with his ditribution, but I still think his all round game is better than Turner, who gets pulled out of position and jumps into tackles too quick, IMO.

Arsenal couldn''t regularly get into Norwich''s box, as they like to do with teams, and were mostly forced into long shots. I can''t see how any Norwich fan could have watched the game on Saturday and not say it was a good performance - the difference between the two teams was a £40m, world class attacking midfielder - when we get one of those I''ll moan more about losing at the Emirates.

Indy 3,471 Posted October 21, 2013 Who''s moaning about losing? But solid is word I cannot agree with, even though Arsenal have a very good side bang on form, sorry Bethnal and we did play well for a large part of the game, thanks to Tettey, Howson and Fer.

spencer 1970 214 Posted October 21, 2013 I agree with Bethnal, Ryan B is a quality player and I''m sure he''ll get even better but his distribution out of defence is poor. Often his headers out seeming nothing short of aimless...much like our "just clear it" headers out of defence under Worthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
