Chamberlain ain't going to make it lads. He was promising when he began with us but he's very poor all season.

If Gervinho never wore an Arsenal jersey again I wouldn't be disappointed.

Ah come on it's a bit early to completely write off a 19 year old player based on what 10 games when the whole team is playing bad.

Jesus Christ are you seriously writing him off? He's not playing well at the moment but way too early to make a judgement.
Gervinho is driving me up the wall though.

Jesus, give the lad a chance. He's gonna be a megastar.

I have a good eye. I'm a long time watching football.

Knew I shouldn't have put it on :P

markie29

was no corner before that goal...it hit the post with no touch from the keeper.....very poor marking though.

Was just thinking the same, he has been awful the most part of the season. Although its a bit harsh to write him off so early. How do yous think young Meade has done so far lads???

Balls they just scored :-(

Mickeroo

Have a bad feeling the floodgates might be open now....

Oh well if you say so then.

Jenkinson is asleep now.

Can we please put someone else up front with Chamakh besides Gervinho? Chamakh has won every header in the second half that has been played up to him, but no one is playing off him.

Back to normal

Mr Blobby

Well...

greendom

Great goal to be fair

jonneymendoza

****ING JOKE THIS TEAM IS ****SAKES

Little Meade has been very steady in fairness.
Time for a few changes.

Ah now. Second string team. FFS Gervinho and Arshavin are now on the pitch together. What did you expect to happen?

Gringo180

Mental strenght me bollocks!!!

Thinking about it lads, I reckon most clubs will want us in the last 16 draw as were one of the weakest teams left in the Champions Lge.

Te night is bad enough without having to listen to lou Macari. He's in full drone mode now

Need to be some major changes if we're going to be competitive when the CL kicks off again

DenMan

Shockingly bad stuff tonight! Awful!!!

tayto lover

A very strange substitution there.

Ed Winchester

Gervinho < Chamakh

Yet Chamakh is the outcast.

Soups123

Looking at it earlier much of a muchness finishing first or second with the teams in each pot.

Nothing really at stake tonight.

Trying to get a kid on to help with the excuses....... This game was about looking at the future blah blah blah

keano_afc

Its a good thing this team has such incredible mental strength.

Pierce_1991

Rosicky was the man keeping things ticking over in the first half, haven't looked any good since he went off. Some decent performances tonight though. Chamakh deserves at least a bench place.

Chamakh seems to be the only one out there still giving a f*ck. Still chasing, still screaming for the ball. But when you are relying on Arshavin and Gervinho for service, what else do you expect?

That is why u would be a poor manager and i be betetr because i would still demand teh very best out of this team for this match

I honestly believe that it doesn't really matter whether we finish first or second. as it stands:

If we finish 2nd = Porto, Malaga, Dortmund, Bayern, Shakhtar or Barcelona.

If we finish 1st = PSG, AC Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus, Valencia, Benfica or Galatasaray

Quite true but is there any pride in the jersey and the badge on the front of it ?
Gervinho is disgusting ... not fit to wear our jersey. I'm starting to question Arsene now ... SAF would not allow this poser to wear the clubs jersey. If we don't sell him, Squillachi, Chamahk and Arshavin in January then just pay them their contract and tell them to fcuk off. This is an insult to the fans ... why did we not give Eisfeld and Gnarby a chance ... only bright spot was Rosicky and perhaps Vermaelen and Meade.

Gervinho is doing his best to make the shortlist of Wengers worst ever signings.

So you would prefer to exhaust the team in a nothing match, rather than at least being competitive at the weekend?

You can't even spell "you". How would you fill out the team sheet?

Yeah you really remind me of a young Harry Redknapp.... it's the spelling that does it.

We might have even more first team players out injured you're way though.
I'd rather win on Saturday than tonight but the two would have been nice.

bad2dabone

I actually had to rewind that there to see just how inept Gervinho was. He handled with both arms. F*ck off Gervinho.

Everyone can see that the 1st team needs a rest and fringe players need a chance to play so no better time to mix things up.

Going away to the Greek champions with that kind of squad I don't really know why people are getting so upset that we are losing.

He's obviously going to hold on to Gervinho but the others you mentioned will be gone soon.

Eidfeld wasn't able to be registered for the CL. Gnabry is injured.

extra gravy

Well one thing we learnt tonight is that Jernade Meade is a better left back at the age of 20 than Andre Santos is at 29.

tayto lover

I thought Jenkinson had a very poor second half. Meade on the other side looked far more composed. Verm was good and Squillachi was just o.k. a bit rusty I suppose. Ramsey was poor again. Coq and Chamberlain were average. Chamack had a better second half. Gervinho and Arshavin ....... i give up.

Vermaelan cannot defend to save his life he is just every bit as bad as squillachi. Mertesacker is our best defender alongside Koscielny

Did you see him running out for there second goal not even looking whats behind him, centre halfs well decent ones that now how to defend would be last out ushering everybody else up so if we do get caught with a ball over the top they can deal with it.

I'm not upset at the result. It was inevitable with such a weak team and they performed as expected. The match just confirmed that we need to ship out a lot of muck...Chamakh is a complete joke.
