Try and not get embarrassed is about as much as we can do.

I wouldn't rule out the league just yet but we would somehow have to hit form right now

When do we expect Mertesackers "We must bounce back" statement to the press?

Heroic useless result I think. Make it 4 wins in 15 matches.

Mr Blobby wrote: »

Welbeck done very well when he came on.
He missed a very good chance but i can't help but think Gibbs should have buried it instead.

That shows the level of player he is. Missing an open goal still counts as him doing well. For him.

Gibbs was good, Chambers was shocking.

Probably need 8 wins out of 9 to do it.

Surprisingly haven't missed Monreal at all

I'm still perplexed as to how Welbeck missed that open goal. What he did was actually harder than hitting the net. Pressure or not.

Gibbs? Can't get him out of the club quick enough. He should have covered both goals.

But if course he shouldn't have needed to if anyone in our half of the pitch was even half awake.

FixitFelix

Welbeck comes on scores and probably was more effective then anyone else on the pitch(besides Özil) and still gets hammered, he's won and pulled us back into games the last few weeks, i think the criticism is better directed at others

Yip, it looks like that, tall order with the way we are playing. Tomorrow will be interesting, Newcastle with new manager could do it, if they do then it could hit Leicesters confidence.

Sanchez deserves as much, if not more, criticism than Ramsey gets. After all, he's just turned into a player that runs around a lot and gives the ball away constantly.

won 6/15 this year.

Pity Wenger didn't leave after our first cup win

Mr.Micro

Just as well I was not expecting much, so my disappointment is muted. Our season falls apart all at once each season, so that is our consistency. Play for 4th place now.

Go for it, what is to lose? Our dignity is already gone.

I think many would have predicted the season to collapse around this time of the year as we always choke around now but the manner of this pitiful, pathetic and embarrassing display since january is shocking and just simply unacceptable

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Not one single abusive text from any of the lads, no Facebook tagging, not a single meme in sight. It's sad when you don't even get slagged anymore because it's just expected Arsenal will fall flat on their faces.

Pathetic.

At this stage if anyone wants wenger to stay past this season they have no motivation or ambition

Alfred Borden

I know we dont have the resources of City and the likes but surely we have so many players that we could bin to raise transfer funds? Giroud, Walcott, Chamberlain and Wilshere could fetch us decent fees. Moving Rosicky, Arteta, Flamini and Mertesacker off the wage bill would also help.

Offloading English players ain't gonna happen. Maybe one if you're lucky.

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

I want to see a new manager and a huge overhaul. I do not want Wenger to sign the usual one or two and continue with this pathetic team like he's been doing for a decade. It's time for massive changes. It's not quite Clough at Forrest but Jesus Christ have some fücking ambition. 4th place in the league is still winning fück all.

I think he either has to go or come out at the beginning of the summer and do something rediculous like sign Mahrez, Bale and Abumyang(whatever).

There needs to be a big big change

There's really no point in raising transfer funds. The club has more than enough money to sign some top players, but they choose to do **** all. Our biggest problem going forward isn't even Wenger IMO. Kroenke needs to go and then Wenger.

wandatowell

Just so disappointed after that result.

Thought the players would perform today but then never got going until it was too late

Old dogs don't learn new tricks.
Wenger has long seen his best days.
Ambition to win things is low on the goals of the people who run Arsenal.

Ozil and Co should leave. Arsenal don't deserve them

This times a thousand. There's loads of money there just no will to spend it. The club could drop 100 million on players in the summer if they wanted to - they can well afford it.

I don't think spending money would do any good as things stand anyway. I think theres changes needed at board and management level first.

surely the opposite is true?
it would be logical to want this if you want Arsenal to do well, therefore to go against it would require some sort of motivation and ambition?

ambition = a strong desire to do or achieve something.
motivation = a reason or reasons for acting or behaving in a particular way.

sonic85

Don't say sanchez because hes been dirt for quite a while now.

What's people's opinions on him? Was his great form at the beginning of his arsenal career just a purple patch of great form? Is what were seeing now his natural level?

Cecq and Sanchez

I agree with whoever posted during the game about Sanchez. I'd be worried this isn't just a dip in form. He does the same thing every time he gets the ball, cut inside and try and go the long way round. Even if it works now he rarely gains any great advantage from doing it.

Wenger needs to go as much as Kroenke. His tactics have been found out a long time ago, plus I think he's lost the players. Their performances have got worse rather then getting better. so much for trying to be their friends, don't work nowadays in the footballing world we live in. They need a kick up the backside and Wenger can't seem to do it.

Plus his transfer policy has been shocking at times. Kroenke can get the hell out and take Wenger with him. Things will get worse then better.

Absolute joke arent we. Disgrace. Gutless. Is anyone in here defending that idiot Wemger. Clueless

Sanchez should be one lifting the team and doing something.

He needs to spend a few hours/days/weeks using his left foot.

Second season blues it seems, most players go through it. I think the whole stop start season hasn't helped him, plus playing in the Copa America seems not to have helped. He has had sparks of old form this season, the Leicester away and Utd home game. But like most of the squad they just don't look bothered.

Only Ozil Monreal and Cech plus Welbeck and Elneny who started late can hold their heads up this season. The Rest have been a disgrace.

Mr Blobby

You either leave a hero or stay long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Think it was me. One time today he got the ball on the left wing and cut inside and was just marshalled along til he was on the far corner of their box before passing to I think Chambers. Was better than his usual thing of giving the ball away I suppose.

Gringo180

Time to go Arsene. You built one of the best teams to ever grace the English game but also let that team disintigrate into one of the most gutless teams I have ever watched. Thanks for everything but your job is surely untenable now.

It's not good enough though - someone like him who came from barca with a good reputation should be one of the main men in our team. He shouldn't be in the first 11 when fatigued or not in form. That's half our problem - players know they'll get their game even when they play sh!te. What motivation is there?

I'd put campell on that list too. He's looked very lively when I've seen him.

Soups123

Awful result, the negativity will be soaked throughout the club.

Wenger going is part of the fix,the owner is no better, he's using us for money.

This is going to have to get nasty

I'm just taking a guess really why he's off form. I think he's a top class talent but it's all about form for him. That is a problem our top players know they get their game even though they play muck.

Campbell has been very good I agree.

I think there may be a problem with Sanchez and Giroud.

Think I heard something about it a while back(most likely on arseblog) but they don't suit each other at all.

Wenger: "We want to make the impossible possible in Barcelona. It's important we go there with a strong side and fight."

Wenger: "It's difficult to understand how we didn't score at the end. It was a typical cup game against a battling team."

He has a new career as a comedian if he wants it once he leaves.

I only seen some of the pre match press conference but I got the impression he was having a pop at the fans saying you can never win enough unless you win it all people are never happy

He's showing plenty of signs of cracking
