WENGER OUT

Mickeroo

Perfect start.

Lacazettttteeeeee yahoo 16/5.

Ardennes1944

hahaha ****e defending

tayto lover

See what I mean about our defence :mad:

Was just about to say I always said Lacazette was class.

Seriously though, good to see we're solid at the back. :rolleyes: That all started with a quick free kick in our own half at about 3.30 and a goal up. Brainless.

We've had some decent chances, playing nice football.

Ffs Welbeck, shoot!

Bloody hell

No way Monreal is good enough to be centre of a back 3....not even close.

Mickeroo

Really going all out to keep that first game of the season record going.

Same old soft Arsenal. There's an intelligence issue at that club. Both Leicester goals were easily avoided.

tayto lover

Xhaka giving the ball away too often and we cannot defend simple crosses.
Awful defending again.

I'm glad I've been getting so detached from caring about Arsenal the last few seasons. Most likely thing to make me give a **** would be something like 1 win in 10 so Wenger ****s the **** off out of the club. Ho hum.

wonga77

So poor from Holding, should really have been 3-1

If passing to your own players requires a level of intelligence, then yes....you're right.

Wonda-Boy

Wonder what Alexis is thinking watching this.......

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

See ye in two years.

Holding having a shocker. Even when he does something good, he manages to make a balls of it.

Soups123

Going into your first game of the season with a make shift back 3 like that, Holding nowhere near ready, a player like Eleny who is nothing more than noise and running (too much headless chicken) Welbeck who needs 10 chances to score is a shocking indictment of Wenger after all the change promised at the end of last season.

The fact Leicester look better prepared and more at ease and we are the fcukin home team.

It's the simple things. We had a corner, Ozil shows short, Xhaka ignores him and instead of waiting for Ozil to move off he takes the corner. Now have two players out of the game if Leicester clear it. Simple decisions like this can cost you a game.

I'd like to remove Welbeck from this post

2-2 at halftime. We should still do this.

allinthehead

Deserved that equaliser.

Arne_Saknussem

well that was comical

Soups123

Such a frustrating start to the season that 45. Holding is having a awful game, Eleny is way to negative in the middle.

On a positive note the 2 new boys have started well a goal and an assist

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Good game so far. Need to wake up and win this now. We seem to be able to just walk through their defence when we want to. I'll be a bit sick if we don't push on from here now.

wonga77

This is such an Arsenal performance, about 70% possession and playing some good stuff yet find ourselves 2-1 down. Throwing away the ball so easily.
Deserved equaliser though, Kolasinic is looking like a beast of a signing.
Think we'll get a few more, problem is that we are so sh1t at the back that I see Leicester scoring too

A Benny Hill goal.

Wenger should buy Van Dijk immediately. Get someone who can defend properly.

wandatowell

Mighty game to watch but Arsenal look completely lost at times. I'd question Mertesacker for not playing. Couldn't they have put a bandage on his head or am I being overly harsh?

Very happy new the new guys.

It's beyond anyone's control. It's just Arsenal.

Any one of Kos, Mustafi or Per in the middle and we'd be cruising. How the f*ck does this keep happening?

Quazzie

Yet again Wenger has started a season unprepared with so many vital players missing. Starting the game with one centre back on the pitch when we are playing 343 is a typical Wenger "first game of the season" move. I really don't see why anyone rates Elneny as much as they do. Runs all day, but does absolutely nothing. Welbeck shouldn't be starting in a team with ambitions of a top 4 season finish. It's obvious why United got rid of him. Nice guy, but no end result, and adds nothing to the team.

DarraghF197

Xhaka has been really good so far I think.

Lacazette has got such good flair.

Elneny... I'm sorry he's a nice guy, but not good enough for Arsenal in the Premier League.

Can't wait to have Koscielny back.

We conceded similar goals with those three playing. We need proper CB's.
The Marx Brothers would defend better.

Xhaka has given the ball away in key positions. He's been poor.

Vardy unmarked :pac:

wonga77

Jeez, this is chronic altogether

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Ah here

wonga77

How much space did Vardy have there! You wouldnt see that anywhere else

gitzy16v

Oh Lord...this stinks

tayto lover

Powder puff defending. We need a beast.
How does Wenger allow this sh1t for the last 5 years?

It's a fcukin joke. A fcukin joke of a club

Bobby Baccala

Woeful defending, this team is all over the place

Soups123

Elneny is absolutely awful, he's not a footballer at all

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

This is absolutely infuriating.
Wake up ffs. 3 points and 3 points only tonight.

Elneny off, Ramsey on
Welbeck off, Giroud on
