Match Reaction - Spuds 2-2 Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

I agree that Wenger has to go, if we had lost yesterday, I would have hoped he'd be gone by the hull game. However, one small glimmer of hope is that when city won their first title, they were 8 points behind with 6 games (i think, it wasn't many thats for sure) to go and they somehow won it. I'm not saying that means we will, but we have the players and i'd say of the three sides we have the easier fixtures. Spurs have the hardest and Leicester have some tough ones left too.

I agree that in the grand scheme of things, we had to win yesterday, but in the context of the match, a point was a very good one given what happened. Spurs might be only 5 points behind rather then 8, but we've seen them choke before when even further ahead and that was for 4th place! There are a few twists and turns left in this race, i don't think we will win it, but you never know.

Whatever happens though, Wenger should not be manager next season.

It's us. It's fair to say we always know.

12 Games 3 Wins 5 Draws 4 Defeats in all competitions

10 Points out of 24 Pointsin the league

That's our form since the Liverpool game, truly dreadful, so yeah a draw yesterday was a poor result in the grand scheme of things, a win was a must and seeing as we are now 8 points behind Leicester with an inferior goal difference I'd say we're as good as out of it. City who have been dreadful all season as well if they win their game in hand would also leapfrog us which just shows how bad we've been.

Wenger just has to go.

There's 9 league games there. That's 10 points out of 27.

Played 9, points 10 can't be too much different from the form of Norwich and Sunderland. Even Villa have probably got 5 or 6 points in that time.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Wenger does have to go but not because of yesterday.

Well yes and no

He has to go because of yesterday because we are not showing that kind of performance consistently

Yesterday I thought we countered Spurs high pressing game well, and towards the end of the first half they looked tired and might well have punished them with a second goal.

Wenger was too passive in not bringing on another defensive midfielder when we went down to ten men and that contributed to us conceeding two goals in quick succession.

My mistake it's even worse than I thought.

[Marc Overmars]

4 wins from 12 since we beat City I think. Absolutely shit.

27 points not 24, we have dropped 17 points from a possible 27, simply unforgivable.

Hard to watch this sort of pig shit thick behaviour and recall how I used to get involved in it. Would die of embarrassment if I found myself in it now. This is what apes look like when they are fighting over territory. Leaping up and down, screeching, arms swinging. And football today, when all fans are having the piss taken out of them. Why would you fight? It's punishing enough trying to watch the football.

[mastermind84]

I've never understood why he's never been given a run there.

I thought Sanchez' goal showed that the guy is wasted down the left, his run in behind was so good and his first time finish caught their GK by surprise. He should be playing either behind Giroud on the right. teams have clocke don to him on the lft, he comes inside and either has a blocked shot or a cross that doesnt beat the first man. He is an explosive finisher and needs to play in the middle IMO.

It's Sanchez's fault

He a semi thick footballer.


He could be dynamic on the left, right, or at center forward if he stayed away from the build up and stopped chasing the ball. It's why Barcelona got rid of him, imo.

That goal is another example of that but Sanchez is compelled to always run to the ball instead of just staying on the shoulder of the last defender and waiting for the ball.

If you want to get on Wenger, get on him for not instructing that of him.


Wenger tried him at CF last season in 2 or 3 matches in the autumn and he couldn't stop dropping deep and messing up in the build up.

What an utter embarrassment can't believe you still get planks like that going to football today.

It's basically cost us the title, last week pretty cemented it with 0 points from the 2 games, even 1 win and a draw and we'd have been still in with a shout, 2 wins which we all expected given the opposition and teams they put out in both games would have put us right in the mix.

It's over now though, we're not catching Leicester, they are consistent, very rarely lose/drop points, we are the opposite, inconsistent and drop points a lot hence why we are in this position.
