Match Reaction vs Dortmund

[Power n Glory]

Jack, Chesney and Bellerin only derserve above average marks for this game.

Kos and Merts have truly lost it. They were terrible. Gibbs was pretty pointless as well. Our defence weren't helped by probably the most shocking defensive midfield performance I've seen since Denilson held down a first team spot. Arteta was awful. Shunned responsibilty, hid from the ball when our defenders needed to dish off a pass, offered them no protection.

Same goes for Aaron Ramsey. He's fucking lost it. We played a lot better once he was off for Cazorla and Jack stayed deeper. Ozil...another meh performance. A passenger. Sanchez had a shit game. Works his socks off but needs to learn how to pass. Danny Welbeck....Welshit! On that performance, he's no better than Sanogo. 4 chances fell to him and he didn't hit the target and work the keeper once.

Wenger has to take these guys back to basics ASAP. They let Dortmund pass freely and didn't put any pressure on them or attempt to win the ball. It was the same against City when try had long spells of possession.

Hasnt it always been thus. Flamini is a poor DM but Arteta is simply atrocious. He is a bloody liability

Its comical that Wenger sees Arteta as our DM. Im pretty sure he wasn't a DM at Everton, even David Moyes could see that.

[Bumble]

That was total wank.

I've had enough of Wenger not playing to the opposition's strengths and weaknesses. This isn't 2004 any more. A mere "do what you do best" team talk will not suffice.

Does anyone know what we do best anymore?

How can he take then back to the basics?

Wenger does not understand the basics himself. That is the number 1 problem at this Club.

We specialise in failure and we do it well!

[Marc Overmars]

On paper this team should be very good but it just goes to show you need a clear and distinct way of playing, because right now we're nowhere near the sum of our parts and we'll continue to bumble our way through matches as long as that remains the same. Things will only change once Wenger starts to rotate with a degree of regularity and give others an opportunity, that way we might stumble upon something more effective and won't be as predictable to play against.

I wish people would shut up about the fantastical DM player.

It's not what Arteta is there for, albeit, we need somebody able to cover more ground than he does, and give is momentum.

What we need is someone who dictates the tempo, and drives the ball forward, but who can close the gap betweem defence and midfield when the tide turns.

We don't need someone who's only job is to launch into tackles. If that's whay we wanted, then Flamini is your man.

We need someobe who covera ground, and who can play simple passes put of the back, or hold the ball driving forward.

Our true claim to fame is being the club that spends the least in order to stay ahead of the Spuds. That is Wenger's real genius
