Would like to see Ospina start the Hull game now that he's fit.

Alfred Borden

With the way injuries are going, we could very well have a midfield of Coq Chambers against Monaco. They must really fancy their chances.

Soups123

Really hoped we had seen the back of these **** performances, doesn't help with so many out, a midfield of Coq and Chambers is not good enough for this level

Still plenty of weeks until the Monaco game.
Could be better, could be worse. . .

Im willing to bet worse with our luck. Probably be Kim K and Coq.

more messing around with the team.
Arsene playing too many players based on reputation and not on form or whos been performing.

Hes expecting his best players to play their best game when being shifted around and out of position, all to accomodate fitting in some other name.

Leave Mers off, put Debuchy back in centre half, drop Chambers to right back and give Campbell a run in the middle.
dont expect any of that to happen.

Who is this moron on my stream telling people that will go down as an own goal? Not a hope that will be an og.

On the goal, Sczesny should have just taken one for the team there. He decided to back away even though there was nobody arriving to help. Mane was outside the box, just tackle him and give away a free kick if need be.

He is playing the only fit players we have

Sanchez really isnt a CF. Disappointed as thats what I hoped he would make it at.

tayto lover

Odd kind of game so far.
Santi should have put us ahead then we gift them a goal, they might have had a second before we take over and own the ball for the last 10 mins.
Why don't we start halves like we finish them?

Did anyone notice the look of pure distain Wenger gave Chez after his brainfart?

yipeeeee

This season is so depressing with injuries.

I just want one season to play our best 11 injury free like chelsea.

We might have one on the bench...Akpom deserves a chance...surely he can't do any worse.

I agree but our best 11 still only gets us third imo.

He was absolutely fuming. Felt sorry for him, he can't plan for that kind of stupidity.

I hope your right, between himself, Campbell and Theo we have decent options, lets hope he is proactive and brings them on at the half.

Your solution? Play them out of position :pac:

Its his faith in average players that lets him down most imo.

We will never know.

A settled 11 makes such a difference.

He can drop him for next game, show there is consequences for bad performances.

Szc, Arteta and Mert is too weak for a realistic title challenge. Thats the spine of the team and arguably Giroud/Welbeck isnt up to it either. All good for fourth.

Watched the goal again

Fcuking hell

I know its not like Wenger is responsible for who we buy and who stands between the posts .... :rolleyes:

ErinGoBrath

It would appear defending deep against us is a an effective way to cancel out our attacking treat. Most teams have done it against us.

We're reduced to passing the ball around the final third with a wall of defenders between us and the goal.

Leaves us open to the counter attack as we commit so many forward to try and breakthough the oppositions defence.

Our attacking play seems a bit headless and blunt.

Campbell is fit, give him a run.
Some fringe players get one chance in 10 games to stake a claim... whereas Wenger has his favourites who automatically start even after layoffs and even after having a run of games where they havent performed... hes French dont forget..

I guess he's also responsible for every decision each player makes.

Must be tough...

The average height of our front 4 must be about 5'8

At first I didn't think he meant this, but on further viewing, it is a great bit of skill.

Sweet Jesus

Embarrassing. It's the same old Arsenal. Don't take any chances, and let your opponents score on any chance they get.

Edit: Should be 3-0

fulmer1984

Oh.my.god.

tayto lover

Clusterfu*k number 2. LOL.

Soups123

Diabolical this is a disgrace

Jaafa

Happy new year lads.

emergingstar

What's defending?

efb

Campbell isn't at the BPL standard

Every goalie makes blunders

x PyRo

We must be the most comical team in the world.

I give up.

Here comes Theo...hattrick time

Alfred Borden

Why wasnt theo brought on at the half? Reactive manager again, not proactive.

pudzey101

nice assist szczesny

keano_afc

Another appalling shambles in a game where the pressure was on to win. But it's OK, once we get our regular back four together we'll be grand...

jonneymendoza

and we have all our defeners back yet still look shocking.

tbh u cant blame wenger.

the actual defenders have been shocking and no manager in the world could have prevented that.

only thing wenger can do is get rid of the whole defence and spend 100m on a whole new back 4 and a world class gk,

ErinGoBrath

Farcical defending but to be expected.

Gibbs is shocking in the final 3rd, couldn't cross his legs.

No where near good enough for an attacking wing back.

Marcus Antonius

Surely to god Martinez has to start the next game?!

you still think Scez goalkeeping is funny ....

sure every GK makes the odd blunder, but some GKs make alot of blunders...

Alfred Borden

Dont worry lads, it will get better when we sign some absolute useless nobody on deadline day!
