I wouldn't want to suffer from epilepsy either watching this. The signs on the far side are awful.

Very timid. No response. No plan B.

If Giroud can't even hold up the ball what is the point of the man.
Serves no purpose as he isn't exactly going to make any runs for ya either.

Nemeses2050

I know it's only half time but didn't expect such gutless performance after last weekend...no heart...no fight...

HT. whatever about top 4 I'm more than concerned about the FA cup with this current form. If Ramsey doesn't hit his pre injury sublime form when he returns then it could be difficult to resuscitate this team.

niallo27

Arsenal nearly 3/1 here. Are they bad. Surely if they get one they will get two.

keano_afc

Dare I say it, we look to have no tactics at all. No pace, nobody getting beyond Giroud. Typical of the responses we've seen to the other drubbings really. No intent, safety first gameplan that went out the window after 10 minutes.

gnfnrhead

Think we should play 9-0-1 against City and just thump the ball forward and hope for the best.

Alfred Borden

Im beginning to think Ozil was making this useless bunch look brilliant..

tayto lover

Gibbs and Sagna are past it lads. They offer nothing. We could get 200 corners and still not score. No blood and guts again tonight so far and Swansea are no great shakes being honest.
Will we get changes at H/T? Not likely.

I doubt we lose this.
It'll either be a draw or a win for us.

And that's the other problem! If he was butt ugly he wouldn't be distracted by the ladies

speedboatchase

Worried about what the City game could do to us before let's face it - Everton and Wigan, two biggest games of our season now.

WoollyRedHat

Gibbs off for Monnreal, Giroud off for Sanogo, Arteta off for Kallstrom.

Cazorla is playing well.

ETA: These changes haven't been made yet, if for any reason all three predictions come off as corrected, you may begin to worship me.

keano_afc

There wont be any changes until the 68 minute mark, as usual.

TimeToShine

Agreed Cazorla at least is pulling his weight.

cathalio11

Can't believe the impulsive hate against Gibbs. Is it because of that one bad pass?

He has been an integral part of our defensive record for the most part of this season. A very impressive defensive full back and is decent going forward to.

Can't believe anyone can get carried away by today as regards Gibbs.

tayto lover

The Swansea player had the freedom of the park to cross the ball in for their goal. Nobody within an asses roar of him. Chamberlain made no attempt to close him down or even get to him. Just watched it again there.

Is there another Gibbs?
The one I see is useless.

Ulysses Gaze

Where's the passion from the Arsenal players?

It's almost like they believe the season is over.

wandatowell

Relaxing Im hear now, Im sure the players will up their game for me.

Can't see that at all, alas....Michu has to score still.

tayto lover

Arteta and Cazorla have been much better tonight in fairness.
We have loads of possession but creating very little.

That is completely untrue.

He has had a very good season with the club and your hasty judgement of him based on today is very strange.

You must have missed a lot of games this season.

WoollyRedHat

Can people stop trying to dump Giroud into a dumpster and drive off?

When he has creative talents like Ramsey, who bring out the best in him through link up play, he is an asset. Undeniably he has been poor as of late, but this revisionist stuff is silly.

Gibbs has been very good for the vast majority of this season. I've no idea where you're getting this hate from all of a sudden

tayto lover wrote: »

That's wrong.

And even now, he has started this half quicker than anyone else.

Don't judge a player by your ill impulse.

Everton 2 up :mad: get the finger out lads

No he has not.

Honestly, you're probably the only person I've seen criticise his performances this season.

I'm sure Ramsey will have had a poor season by your standards if he comes back and has a bad game.

He's looked good in parts. Decent going forward but gets found out when it comes to defending.

I prefer full backs who are the opposite but them I'm a traditionalist.


he hasn't been help much by the players ahead of him.

I'm not the only person. Read the thread.
When he plays well he is praised, criticised when poor.
More criticism than praise methinks.

Alfred Borden

hate being negative but cant see a goal coming

tayto lover

We have risen the tempo. Might score soon.

TimeToShine

If we lose here and then to City we are in quite a bit of trouble. Even a draw would make securing 4th a good bit easier.

The frustration is coupled with the fact that realistically it's him or nothing this season though.

gibbs has been a bit poor but i feel there are far more poorer players than gibbs

bad2dabone

it's a poor show all over.

I just feel that some of his defensive performances across the season are being completely ignored.

He has played in 9 clean sheets, despite missing a good few games as well.

His performances in those games far outweigh his average performance tonight and that half mistake against Everton.

Nemeses2050

ffs somebody make a run, take a pot shot...do something unpredictive....

i agree. i dont think his been that bad. certainly more worse players in our side at present.

This is pathetic

These crosses to nowhere...

Has Vorm made a save?

i'm going to dig a big hole and get into it.
