What's the betting Oxo gets subbed before Theo?
The fact that Wenger feels that Djourou is a viable option at RB should be classed as gross negligence...this loser didnt even attempt to stop the cross.
I'd rather have the young Spanish kid at rb
Ox and Walcott are not defenders. Yes they should provide cover and they have been doing that. But we also need an attacking threat and Walcott offers nothing. In fact it hurts us when he's on the pitch because everything he touches breks down. Why can a kid like Ox put in a decent performance on the by stage on his 3rd appearance yet Walnut can't do it after years? He's killing us.
Djourou has been awful but hes not a rb. Theo is just as shit at tracking back. Both need to come off.
Oxlade looks a real talent, with much more composure on the ball than Walcott, who's been shite again (although the same can be said for the rest of the team except Chesney)
We look such a poor side these days, there's not spark or creativity whatsoever.
United's width is what has fucked us. Valencia and Nani are playing for fun out there.
In theory we should have the same theat with Ox and Theo - but there's only so much they can do when not a single ball has been spread over to them.
It's sad how one dimensional and limited we make ourselves at times.
Agree with the comment about players' demeanour too. It's very negative. When Verm didn't get the ball from Ramsey I expected him to sprint back to plug the gap, but he went off on one. Really though, the basic thing is that they're crapping it in possession so it's just coming straight back at us.
Djourou hauled off, Yennaris on.
This Arsenal team has to be the worst for some time....Wenger is really going to leave a broken man...sad times ahead IMO. Before we could say that we were rebuilding, now I can truly say we're in for even tougher times
Come on Yennaris!
If we could just stop giving the ball away, even when there's no pressure. It would make a huge difference. So fucking careless all over the pitch. Apart from Ox, his passing and control has been excellent. He showing up a lot of these high money wasters.
Just let's at least have fucking go please.
Yennaris on for Djourou
Djourou :rose:
At least Wenger hadn't waited until the 70th minute.
Good move by Wenger, bit too late...
Yennaris was alright in the Leeds game. At least he's a right-back. Baptism of fire, but good luck!
Next goal has to be ours, otherwise another rout is on the cards.
Come on Arsenal!
v Persie down... :unsure:
RVP DOWN
RVP out for the season
Yennaris does well there.
Decent from Yennaris so far, two good bits of defending.
Walcott getting the ball is as good as giving it to the opposition.
Chamberlain starts the SH as he ended the first :bow:
Djorrou didn't even try to do anything with Giggs' cross, CB or not. Not a leg out, nothing, he's got his hands behind his back like he's about to Ski Jump.
Walcott tracking back to defend about as much as he did in the 8-2 up there.
What a miss from RVP. No balls at all from Rosicky.
How did he miss :yikes:
Not going to be our day :(
RVP :doh:.
Oh god. :(
