Must win.

0-4, Alexis quadruple.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Are we advocating the same team here.....

[Niall_Quinn]

Are we advocating the same team here.....

Yes of course. Momentum. Don't break up a winning team. Pick up where you left off. We cruised the last 45 against the chavs and then against Basle so all of these guys should be easily able to cope with another 45.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

So Ospina in goal it is then.

[dostoy]

This will be a tough game, very physical and very intense.

Hope we win with no injuries.

[fakeyank]

3-0 loss

[pakgunner]

I'd rotate one or two players, if we don't start now we'll never give the fringe players the game time needed. Elneny should start with Xhaka and perhaps Gibbs should take the start over Monreal, age is not on the 2 Spaniard players side. Perez should be given a chance later on at the expense of either iwobi or Walcott. This team should be good enough to overcome Burnley.

We are still around 1 million miles away from having a settled first team that can put in consistent performances. Two games gives us a hint, but there's nothing concrete yet. First you get the starting line up and the tactics sorted out. We're at the very start of that path now. Once perfected, you start consolidating by working other squad members into the setup and building a coherent rotation policy, rather than a random one or a policy based on ridiculous clauses in contracts which is what we currently have. Besides, we all know how it goes with injuries, rotation will take care of itself. We'll need Cazorla or else we won't play well.

[Power n Glory]

We need to stop this age discrimination. :lol: When did the idea that Santi can't play twice a week start? He rarely picks up muscle injuries even though he usually plays every game for us.

[Goonermerree]

We should play our best eleven, get the game won, then rest player. We need to be more than 2 up before we sub. None if this defensive subbing then giving the oppo confidence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley: Heaton, Lowton, Keane, Mee, Ward, Gudmundsson, Hendrick, Marney, Defour, Boyd, Vokes.
Subs: Flanagan, Kightly, Bamford, Robinson, Tarkowski, Arfield, O'Neill.

[Goonermerree]

Come on Arsenal,let's see some free-flowing football as we have done in the last two matches.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi shoots, out the stadium it goes.

[adzzzbatch]

That was a bit wild

[Master Splinter]

Iwobi :lol:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis shot, deflects, only just avoids going in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cazorla. :cloud9:

[adzzzbatch]

I hope all the fans made it on time after a train mowed down 11 cows near Peterborough, I wouldn't want be the one who has to clear that one up :sick:

[Goonermerree]

Has anyone got a link to a fantastic stream, not the usual dross I end up watching? Ta in anticipation and hope.

I have a great picture, crisp and crystal clear - until someone moves and the ball is kicked.Then it goes all jerky!:banghead:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great shot Mesut. :lol:

[adzzzbatch]

I hope we're gonna start getting in to this game now.

[adzzzbatch]

burnley player dives, gets a fk.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crap shot from Boyd.

[adzzzbatch]

Giving them too many chances.

[adzzzbatch]

Fuck off cech.

[Goonermerree]

Thanks, trying it now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo across goal.

[adzzzbatch]

theo should've gone for the pass

[KSE Comedy Club]

Looks like arsenals retard half brother has shown up for this game :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sonic is on it.

[Goonermerree]

We don't seem to be paying our free-flowing football, but that could be my dodgy stream.

[GP]

:lol: I do like Mustafi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi going for the congested option.

[Kano]

Mustafi flirting with the ref

[adzzzbatch]

vokes being a little prick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mustafi. :bow:

[adzzzbatch]

Well done mustafi

[Goonermerree]

I like Mustafi too!

[adzzzbatch]

nice Walcott!

[adzzzbatch]

mustafi :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not sure why Theo settled for the corner.

[adzzzbatch]

:lol:

[adzzzbatch]

This isn't exactly the scintillating football we've been blessed with of late.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bad pass from Theo to Bellerin.

[Goonermerree]

These are the bloody games that we have to win. Stop the tippy tappy and play with pace. I know it's harder when a team set u more defensively, but it's not impossible.

[adzzzbatch]

Poor touch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shocker of a touch from Mesut.

[Goonermerree]

WE don't put enough pressure on defenders when we play like this, they're in their comfort zone. Knock some balls in and make them work with an element of surprise.

[adzzzbatch]

how wasn't that offside

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vokes clears one.

Terrible miss.

[adzzzbatch]

oh it wasn't!

[adzzzbatch]

Not very impressed today.

[Goonermerree]

We're trying to wear them down with boredom

[adzzzbatch]

Why is no one shooting!?

[adzzzbatch]

fuck off smudger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Not been great.

[adzzzbatch]

well that was :sleep:

[fakeyank]

The real Arsenal has returned

Looks like it's gonna be one of those days, a draw looks likely at the moment. Need to vary it up a bit and maybe bring Giroud alongside Alexis.

He's not on the bench lol

Neither is Perez

[Niall_Quinn]

So what are we saying today? The players decided to drop the tempo 50%? The players decided to go back to the sideways game, spurning the direct play that has transformed our game over the last couple of weeks? The players decided to congest the play down the centre at every opportunity against an opponent that is packing the centre and conceding the flanks?

Like hell they did. It was our complacent manager who always turns up to these games assuming a win is in the bag.

How can the same ten outfield players be that bad following on from only a few days ago when they looked great? This is the whole problem with getting encouraged by this team. They can drop back to the negative shite at a moment's notice.

We're fortunate not to be losing this. What a miss by Burnley.

[adzzzbatch]

1 shot on target :rolleyes: :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

It would also be interesting to know why Iwobi's and Ozil's roles have been reversed. Well it isn't working. Swap it back.

[Niall_Quinn]

And Go Compare has a new add that is somehow worse that all their others. It is impossible for things not to get better in the next 45 mins.

[adzzzbatch]

That FIFA17 advert is disgusting.

I bet Wenger's post match comments will say we lacked sharpness, pace or something along those lines.

They are not under instruction to play at a slow tempo. We have seen this some many times before. Against smaller sides, the team become complacent and the drive isn't the same.


The fault on the managers part part comes down to the mental preparation for the game and making sure they're go into the game focused.

[adzzzbatch]

bring on the jeff

[Power n Glory]

Iwobi has always dropped into the centre.

[adzzzbatch]

Looks like we've been flattering to deceive again.

[adzzzbatch]

Damn good save.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS theo

[adzzzbatch]

Way too slow.

[adzzzbatch]

Very poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi. :haha:

[The Verminator]

This stream just about perfect:

[Power n Glory]

Wow, Iwobi.

[adzzzbatch]

Us playing well didn't last long did it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil shot saved.

[adzzzbatch]

trying to walk it in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech saves!

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking hell!

[adzzzbatch]

I think alan smith is willing burnley to score.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Defour off, Arfield on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Monreal. :haha:

Terrible.

[Power n Glory]

That was lazy as fuck from Ozil.

[adzzzbatch]

Fucking crap!

[adzzzbatch]

That was a deliberate trip on Alexis, alan smith finds it funny. dick.

[Power n Glory]

What the hell?

[RomfordPele]

Mentality is all wrong today.

Happy 20th you old dinosaur.

[adzzzbatch]

Has wenger ever had a good result in a milestone game?

[Power n Glory]

Mentality is all wrong today.

Happy 20th you old dinosaur.

It's terrible. Everyone is taking that bit long to pass, some bad touches and some poor desperate attempts to pass....

[Power n Glory]

Look how slow the tempo gas dropped again. Xhaka and Kos taking forever to pass.

[fakeyank]

Can we have more sideway passes please. Tnx.

How you can go from two games where every single one of our players had good games, to one where none of them have is something only Wenger can manage.

I've watched this sort of game so many times over the last decade. It never changes.

[Power n Glory]

Xhaka keeps giving the ball away.

[adzzzbatch]

:sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Xhaka and Iwobi off, Elneny and Ox on.

[Power n Glory]

Yeah, Xhaka and Iwobi off. Both have been poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alexis just wide.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS it ain't happening.

It's all about the occasion. We used to this a the time during the Cesc era. A great performance at Old Trafford and in the Clapham but put in a woeful performance against a team like Blackburn.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley hit the bar!

[adzzzbatch]

Wow.

[adzzzbatch]

he was climbing all over an arsenal player though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to us, dangerous area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Özil hits the wall.

[adzzzbatch]

useless

[adzzzbatch]

really disappointing today.

[adzzzbatch]

smudger is gonna be gutted if we're somehow able to nick this one.

[Power n Glory]

Wake up Sanchez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a stinker.

[fakeyank]

Winners mentality being shown

Theo combs it wide.

[adzzzbatch]

FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elbows from Vokes.

[adzzzbatch]

Dirty cunt.

[Power n Glory]

I think Alexis wasted that counter attack going for that through ball.

[adzzzbatch]

welcome back arsenal, you haven't been missed.

[adzzzbatch]

:rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

OX!!!!!!!

:haha:

[A Gunner]

0 - 1!!!

[adzzzbatch]

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

[AFC Leveller]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos handballed it in! :haha:

What a way to get a goal.

[Power n Glory]

Yes!!!

[adzzzbatch]

Tough game, great win.

[RomfordPele]

Get in. Pubbed it. Lucky dinosaur.

[Power n Glory]

Heartbreak for Burnley.. :lol:

[GP]

Burnley :haha:

People who live in Burnley :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Why would anyone want to live in Burnley anyway?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jofnn. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

20 years of Wenger. If I'd committed murder I'd be out on parole by now.

If this wasn't his anniversary I'd call him an incompetent, fossilised has-been. But seeing as we've been blessed with his presence for 2 decades, I won't.

[Goonermerree]

0-1 You-are-kidding-me! Had to go to the pub for the second half, streams were useless, not so easy to shout and swear in public. I cannot believe we scored with virtually the last kick of the match.:d And handball to boot.:haha:
