Arsenal vs Besiktas 19.45

Sugarlumps

Brutal.

Santi is a fantastic footballer

djPSB

Wenger really is an expert at turning World Class players into average players e.g. Ozil, Sanchez

Ken Shamrock

Why is Ozil so indecisive lately?

Wiltshire has now twice gone sliding in showing studs that's a dangerous game to be at

He is a bit of a reckless tackler at times. I reckon because he's quite small compared to opposition players he's been encouraged to tackle hard to let them know that he's not a push over.

Reckon that's the same with Cabaye too when he was at Newcastle. Bit of a dirty tackler too.

You're dead right mate. 100%. Spot on.

Gringo180

Some player Ozil is ball just sticks to his feet.

Spanish Johnny

Do some lads make up their minds before the game starts as to who plays well??

Ken Shamrock

Have a point there could say the same for scholes

Love Debuchy chaps a beast.

He's a good player and will get forward but prone to a defensive howler every now and again. Take heed I tells ya.

Ozil showing that a bit of pace suits him as well. Just unfortunately for him there was only one player in support.

Sugarlumps

The number 13 for Besiktas is watching the game instead of participating. Ponderous slow oaf.

He thinks himself as some kind of midfield general a la Gerrard I reckon

flyingoutside

Hate when you see Wilshire screaming for the ball and then ****s up

kingshankly

Yeah never forgive wenger for what he did to berkamp he could have been a great player!!!!!

Ken Shamrock

Crowd makes it feel like an away match...

kingshankly

Arsenals passing very sloppy

greendom

Living cazorla energy and physicality

Ken Shamrock

Sanchez been poor so far, early days and he needs time tho.

Usually arsenal start the season like a house on fire

Our cohesian in the final third is very disappointing.

Congratulations on your 5000th post, shame it was total horsesh1t.

Nacho has been very good again tonight I think

And the house falls down in February. Hopefully this season's different!

Looked a penalty to me on first viewing.

It's not working for us at the moment. That's for sure

Sugarlumps

One shot on target, jaysus. Game desperately needs a goal.

Good buzz off the besiktas fans in their little corner

Francie Barrett

Bit surprised at how much possession Besiktas are getting.

Mickeroo

We've looked absolutely clueless in the final third in every match so far.

tayto lover

Not enough intensity in Arsenal's play.
They should be belting on for the first goal.
The longer this stays evens the more confident Besiktas will get.

Huh?

kingshankly

That looked a penalty Wiltshire sliding in from behind

efb

Slip no contact

No decent angle for the replay. Thought it was a penalty at first, referee was closer to it though.

Yep it looked dodgy alright!

That_Guy

No contact from what I could see but bloody hell Wilshere. Calm bleedin' down.

efb

Ray Houghton is annoying me

Gringo180

Very clumsy from Jack asking for trouble that was.

Sugarlumps

Wenger shating it.

.jacksparrow.

Never.

tayto lover

Looked like a peno to me.
Thank God we got a decision at last.
We are not giving this game enough effort as yet.

~Rebel~

Christ, Wilshire really can be so stupid in his decision making!

Probably not a pen, but there's no need to dive in like that, giving the red a decision to make. there was no possible good outcome from it, any tackle he put in was going to be a tackle from behind.

greendom

That could have been given, lucky the ref was so close

Mushy

I'd say the contact was minimal. Going sliding in like that from behind is asking for trouble.
