We look like a league 1 side both defending and going forward. Not for the first time this season, gutless and limp performance.

Where is Kos?

Apparently the achillies tendonitis has only cleared on one achillies.

Were they flukey goals or are Stoke the better team? The stats on BBC look fairly even

Sigh, we can turn this around, Kos needs to be put on for Chambers, then two other attacking subs. Stoke should not be leading against us by 3 goals, wtf...

If we manage to turn this around it'll be a miracle. Can only see it getting worse. He should definitely bring on Kos and bring on Welbeck. I hope you're right but can't see it happening.

Not the refs fault we are 3 down at half time!! We are shocking and again no clue going forward! Stoke out playing us playing football. ... A new low!!

It's the club mate change the 11 with 11 more and it's the same, accepting mediocrity has got up with this club

Sergio

Shambolic first half performance.

Looper007

No excuses for that display. Unless they pull of a miracle Wenger will be getting some stick at the end of this game. Agaisn't a average side like Stoke isn't acceptable at all.

Wenger in !

We are ****e, that's all you need to know. Stoke are lumping it into our box and our pathetic defense can't deal with it.

Lahinchians

Shameful stuff really. Don't know if I could be bothered to watch the rest.

We have zero midfield today. Our only chance was created by a defender and other than that there has been nothing created out there. Giroud should have done better but is getting zero service and it's not exactly as if the midfielders are just playing defensively because the defence has had zero coverage as well.

He did give some odd decisions agaisn't Sanchez. But the three goals came from bad defending sadly. It's getting really sad now.

No flukey goals they were all well taken but our lack of challenges for them was astonishing! Possession fairly even but as the scoreline suggests they are using it brilliantly. Way more determined than us which is not surprising

Not flukey but school boy level defending on our part.

How can you not play welbeck against stoke, he's arsenals mist physical forward

Pretty much we're making them look great. Same old problems are cropping up year after year. I never fancy us when it comes to going away to these lump it and hope for the best teams, we just can't handle these teams. But once we get them at home we end up whipping them which makes it even more sicken.

Hard to argue with that, our midfield is lightweight, how to disappear completely...

I'm just going on blind faith at this stage tbh, and the fact we've come back from it before. However, even if we did, still shambolic that we have conceeded 3 goals against them.

I think AW should go now as i think his time is well up at this stage.Not wait till the end of the season like some fans have suggested.He is a very stubborn man and wont change his ways at this stage of life.

But who can we get then at this time of year as a world class replacement? that's the problem I have with some of you wanting him gone now, I can't see a replacement been in place until the summer if it did happen. Plus he ain't going anywhere, Wenger is in control of the club.

Ken Shamrock

Back to reality for some of you

Lahinchians

Mert n flamini both ball watching for the second goal. Hate to say it but stoke fully deserve to be 3-0 up. I feel they should have a few yellows though

For me, today anyway, it's down to the players not putting in a shift. If Kos and Monreal are injured there is f*ck all he can do except play Bellerin, and being realistic there is no reason, whatever the tactics, that we shouldn't beat Stoke.

Lahinchians

That should have been a 2nd yellow for crouch

purplepanda

Everytime we go to Mordor it's so predictable that we will get beaten by those inbred Orcs. :mad:

Most mangers would have already walked were they in Wenger's position, or been sacked by now.

Dictators never resign though & the tide has now turned, it's going to be a long bloody process but I don't think theres any way back for Wenger after today.

Hopefully he resigns to save the club & fans going though more turmoil.

He should defo be off, he's been far to happy to throw his arms around in this match. Weird change bringing on Welbeck (which was a good thing) for Bellerin? Flamini at right back then?

Flamini RB...what could possibly go wrong.

Lol that's it, he was getting battered in the midfield. Take off one of our quickest lads and replace him with one of the slowest?

Transfer himself in January.

Come on guys.

You've mentioned a million times before. this club is ARSENAL not wenger.

Let's get behind the team here

Were making peter crouch look like zlatan ibrahomivic

Could still get a draw for people to hang on to.

Really, you think this makes a difference here? It's pure **** not a day for rallying calls.

Have more balls and push for change

It's alright lads, Chambers got his mandatory yellow card.

Ha! I'm not trying to make excuses, we've been bloody woeful today. Making Stoke look like a great team (which they most definitely are not). It was just with regards to that one shot

Montroseee

Lack of investment relative to rivals really showing, it's spend in Jan or go. Sad times when a 1 in 4 striker is your best option to bring on.

You've bent over backwards to back Wenger and come and call for everyone to get behind the team.

At some point you'll have agree that Wenger is done

4-0 Stoke. Lads. What happens now? Our season is as good as over.

edit. Back to 3-0, goal chalked off for offside.

Watch him walk around Mert.
Just laughable really.
Wenger has learned nothing from last season's drubbings.
