Gooner Rue Missed Chance

Gooner boss FMR was left gob smacked when Baronchelli fired in a freekick to level the scores in the 42nd minute. Gooners own dead ball specialist Borja was on fire and netted two freekicks of his own early on, once Gooners had the lead FMR ordered his men to hold the advantage... but Baronchelli was given a decent opportunity and took it well.

It was an opportunity missed and the Gooners boss knows now keeping pace with Totaal will prove almost impossible during the early stages of the season. The whole of the top flight will be hoping both Greatness and Santos can find wins against the men in orange.

FMR had this to say:

"It is frustrating really, I always knew it was going to be a tough game especially since we were missing the experience of Henry up front... but despite that we got everything spot on and i feel we deserved the three points. Baronchelli is some player though and giving away dead ball opportunities is always dangerous when he is on the pitch.

We have some good players of our own mind and the two young strikers did a terrific job up front, and Borja contribution was simply magnificent. Koscielny had another decent performance and I think the plan we have in place currently is working well, these lads dont need so many games and with the budget we had I think both he and Arshavin have been perfect choices. Training is going well and this is the reason the likes of Wellington, Arshavin and Akinfeev have not played yet. We feel alot more comfortable when it comes to undersatnding DV and I hope we will see some excellent results come end of season!

Next up is a fixture against Charming, it is becoming quite a regular thing now! I said last season I wanted them to come up and it is a fixture that we always look forward to. They owe us one for the last time we met and we are keen to keep our good run of form going... I think this season we may have even out done Charming on variations of formations and tactics, so I am sure RDCM has plenty to ponder over. As I said I think our current run of form is good and I feel we are comfortable in this division, we have already landed some vital away points... there is a long way to go but we are enjoying the challenge."
