We were at home.

Ahem.

Anyway. Didn't see it although saw we were 1-0 and thought
Pleased we won. Bigger tests to come, obviously, but job done for now.

First half was terrible, the typical lack of midfield control

Our attacking play from wide areas improved in the second half

Lot of long balls I noticed. Looked a lot more cohesive when Wilshere replaced Iwobi

Have seen people on here defend Ospina as being a decent keeper????

What will it take to convince you otherwise

Key word being decent. Every 2nd string keeper will have that sort of error in them especially when only getting a few games here or there.

A manager that decides to play Iwobi as a CM either doesn't know his own players strengths and weaknesses or totally disregards or underestimates the discipline for that role. I'm going with the latter because the CM position has been a blind spot for Wenger for a long time now.

Have you ever watched him play for Colombia?

Maybe our definition of decent is divergent. My definition is a bit higher than that of a keeper who at least 50% of the goals they concede are either their fault or you think a better keeper would have saved.

Decision making poor, distribution suspect and too short.

Should have kept Szczesny instead and had him understudy Cech.

Ospina is an excellent shot stopper, and shit at everything else. Always been that way.

No dispute on keeping Sir Ches. Should never have sold him. I don’t watch International football unless a major tournament that. But from what I’ve seen of Ospina, I’ve seen flaws that have cost us but games where he’s saved our bacon. Our 2nd keeper ‘issue’ is a drop in the ocean compared to the other stuff going on.

Well just because he's not right at the top of the hierarchy of things that are fucked up with the club. Doesn't make it any less baffling that we have kept him, rather than have a back up keeper who could potentially replace an ageing Cech.

So is anything happening about the away supporters? I don't know all the details but from the bits I've heard well, I suspect if English fans had acted like that abroad they'd have thrown the book at us.
