If we don't win the league, it will be because our attack is about as useful as a blunt knife. Not fit for purpose.

Poor performance, looked like we could have played till midnight and not scored. We do look toothless up front and that's a worry.
But every FA Cup campaign has bumps in the road. People seem to forget that. In other campaigns when we won the FA Cup we didn't sweep all before us. In 98, for example, We drew with Port Vale at home (won away in the replay on pens), drew with Palace at home (won the replay away), drew with West Ham at home (won the replay away on pens) and only beat Wolves 1-0 in the semi-final.
We're in the hat so as poor as we are I'll take it, we could have done without a replay but it's better than being out.
Only one man and his dog Ty, thought our firepower was adequate this season. But what do we know we're just armchair pundits, and football management is so complicated.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars

Do you reckon it's our personnel, or the way we play?
I'm with you on this, we do need to bolster our firepower. Having said that, I don't think Jamie Vardy would have scored in 11 games in a row had he been wearing a red and white jersey

The fire-power we have would be more than enough if we had a competent manager. We don't, as was demonstrated again today by the disorganised rabble of talented players sent out by the prehistoric equivalent of a donkey to huff and puff and tip and tap around the place. Wenger is demented. The same thing over and over again, yielding the same performances. He persists. He must think the way we are playing is acceptable, and by his rock-bottom standards maybe it is.
Für eure Sicherheit
I thought we looked lively first part of first half, but then the tempo seemed to drop. The game was typical of where we are lately. We lack a cutting edge, but it is really frustrating that we seem to make scoring as difficult as we can by our ponderously slow build up play - meaning that it's so often us trying to thread the ball through the opposition half's massed defence. Pressing high and compressing the game around the opposing team's box isn't working. It is Cazorla's absence that has seen the fast counter attacking style we used earlier in the season disappear?
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
It is a bit of both. We've got some very good players but we move the ball forward so slowly and make it difficult for ourselves.
The only person on our team who converts consistently is Giroud and he hasn't scored in a while.
Need to get more goal scorers this summer.
Shockingly shit. The sad thing is hull didn't want the replay either.
Also the half empty stadium booed the team off.
