Ashton: Gunners shot down by Slav’s ‘perfect plan’

|

ashtonDean Ashton has given Slaven Bilic huge praise for the game plan he employed against Arsenal at the weekend, declaring: “It worked to perfection. ”

He explained: “He employed three defensive midfielders in Mark Noble, ChiekKouyate and Reece Oxford – what a debut  for a 16-year-old – and you were wondering: ‘Why hasn’t that happened more regularly in the game?’

“It was a brilliant system and all credit to him. It worked so well.

“What it means is that West Ham have options to change things around and whilst they are a good team, that’s something they have lacked. I was delighted.”

    WTF is he banging on about can’t see anything about Jack or Barton but if he wants my opinion on both then I like Jack and his enthusiasm and as for Barton not my cup of tea but as I said yesterday Slav is the manager so his decision which I trust. Now who put the bad acid in not so merry michaels horlicks? lol

    What you on about Merry?? You have totally lost me.

  • MerryMichaelW says:

    Sorry, about that, Hugh – bit miffed to see those posts.

  • MerryMichaelW says:

    So – all these ********s up above – what do you say after Jack’s remarks?

    Amazing what crawls out of the woodwork, when someone like Barton gets involved.

  • Lt. Quickdrawovic 1st Slavalry C&H Regt says:

    Nice that Slav is picking up a good fan club of ex-pros who are generally younger and more clued up than the dinosaur fan club,the only relatively young one they have is the shaven monkey Keown.
    Also agree with the boys about maintaining the good work and if we go at Leicester fast and early we could batter them.

  • bubs says:

    Yep agree we need to win this week to make last week worth anything,
    It’s important that we are strong at home this year,
    Slav could master mind a top 8 finish this season

  • boys of 66 says:

    Yep,Slaven did a job on Whinger.Now he needs to sort out the Tinkerman in the next match.
