    Match Reaction: Cardiff 2-3 Arsenal

    A bit shit again.

    No cohesion, game plan, chemistry, basic technical ability. Just some stuff happening off the cuff.

    No point pointing out the blindingly obvious about individuals because they'll be starting the next match anyway.

    Lacazette the only positive thing really.

    Cardiff as disgusting and cheaty as expected, with Taylor giving them free reign and an assist.

    Torreira.

    Look forward to him starting in the Europa League.

    We've won away, maybe we can stop seeing so much chaos.

    I think so far it's going as we suspected it would.

    A lot of potential with our forwards but defensively we're just plain shite. Can't see us doing much this season if Emery doesn't get a grip of this quickly.

    How much longer can Xhaka and Ozil keep stinking the place out before they're hooked?

    5 lessons Emery must surely now learn after four games:

    1. start with Laca and Auba

    2. give Leno a chance

    3 start with Torreira

    4. tell Xhaka and Ozil to take the day off - actually the rest of the season...

    5. start with Mustafi on the bench, but only as an emergency number 9 in case we need a late headed winner

    Great stuff again from Unai and the boys. The revolution rolls on.

    Several years going by their Arsenal careers so far.

    Being sidelined by Neymar and his entourage at PSG is one thing, but not being able to impose any authority over Xhaka and Ozil is beyond weak. WUMger reincarnated.

    Early days but no real progress or improvement seen yet, if anything we've been worse the last couple of games. Lots of work to do.

    Xhaka's juggling act with the ball at the end summed up his game

    The less said about the defence the better.

    Torreira and Laca should be the first two names on the team sheet right now.

    Arsenal have won 2 games this season, one against the worst team in the league and the other against the 2nd worst team in the league.

    They are shocking defensively and surely changes have to be made.

    I would start Leno in the next game and keep Xhaka on the bench with Torreira starting.

    I would also consider starting Holding instead of Mustafi and including Welbeck and leaving out Ozil, if that's possible.

    What about Lichtsteiner instead of Bellend as well ?

    I don't blame the manager as he was left a load of shit from the previous idiot.

    Arsenal must stop conceding so many goals.

    No way we beat any of the top 5 home OR away playing like this with the players we have. Cech playing like a robot, devoid of any thinking. Insisting on playing the ball even with 2 opposing players bearing down on him. Stupid!
