FT: ARSENAL 2 - 1 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[J R Hartley]

We caught a couple of teams by surprise but just using him for his ability to win headers is league 2 tactics tbh, the only position I could see him playing is back in midfield but I would prefer to have him on the bench for the next couple of games

Stick him back at right back. The guys started to believe his own hype as a forward player. Those two left foot shots 2nd half were so frustrating because they were 2 excellent positions wasted.

God no don’t put him RB he’s so easily caught out by the man running in behind him it’s embarrassing

Reid threw his arms up in frustration at one of those wasted attempts, Paterson responded by giving him a verbal volley in return. I noticed Paterson doesn't seem to take kindly to any of his teammates pointing out his shortcomings.

There was one incident in the second half when Paterson was racing for a ball near the touchline with an Arsenal player, the ball breaks Paterson's side and he would have been in a position to take the ball upfield, however, he was more intent on giving the Arsenal player a hefty shove into touch rather than concentrate on the ball - he gave away a needless freekick instead of initiating a counter-attack.

He needs resting, but Warnock seems to love his "characters" doesn't he..
