whos fault is that.

Ju had some good touches and cleanly layed the ball off.
Which means he's better than every forward we have apart from RVP.
Seriously though, in the four minutes he's played this season, he looks decent. Sadly, he will disappear into the ether for another six months now.
I’m sure before the game started Wenger was planning to take Oxlade off after around 60 minutes. I can understand him thinking that before the game because we’ve seen ourselves that Oxlade sometimes did tire in the second half of the Carling Cup games he played in. As a manager you have to react to what is happening on the pitch. Oxlade wasn’t tiring. In fact he was full of confidence and getting better as the half went on. But this OCD condition to make his pre-determined substitutions blinded him of what was happening on the pitch.
I still think Wenger is a very smart man. His choices are backed with sound logic. The problem is that his assumptions are wrong. That is why managers with a fraction of his intelligence are out-smarting him.
I thought Rosicky did OK-ish, Fakeyank, from a neutral stand-point (i.e. I don't hate him, but I don't adore him either). The way we've gotta think of it is thus...we had no creative central midfielder apart from him today and he did a job when asked upon. Didn't put a foot wrong and passed the ball with perfection (i.e. I can't recall any mislaid passes from Tomas today)
That is my stand-alone perspective on Rosicky's performance today and today only. Otherwise, I'm with the general consensus that he is surplus to requirements.
Well we're finishing behind the shit stains from the rioting sewer up the road so whatever else has been said it all amounts to a cataclysm of biblical proportions. I going to kill myself now. Fucking shit fuck piss fuck cunt shit.
the players cofidence looks shot to bits.
fans giving wenger grief on 606
Stand alone is actually quiet a good way to describe Rosicky' performance today. In th second lf he was just wandering around the middle being bypassed by the play. Like a slightly better version of Chamakh but still a useless cunt nonetheless. He ran out of gas, so Wenger subbed Ox. Fucking genius.
Might be wrong, but I'm not sure the reaction would've been so severe if it was Benayoun coming on. Actually, I guess it was more about Oxo going off than anything. But yeah, like Syn says, it's the pre-determined robotic nature of it which grates. At least Benayoun could've been put on for defensive work.
Even Wenger must know he's lost the plot. It's sad for him but just plain embarrassing for the club. Will he please please PLEASE call it a day at the end of this season.
What's really embarrassing is our now apparent inability to launch any sort of stirring comeback like the said shit stains put together today. Yes, the 94th minute capitulation is something that we are more than capable of, but we're so damn predictable in the league now.
And for months Wenger has been saying not to count us out cos all the big teams have to come to the Emirates
That went well :lol:
Watching Defoe miss isn't as funny as it was earlier.
does not anybody see how Theo Walcott is crap? on a scale of crapness 10 out of 10. deserves to be staying on the bench or getting sold. defo.
Why can't Wenger see the problems with this team, everyone can see it the same problem for six years. It's beyond stupidity now I fully believe that RvP will leave us and I don't blame him.
It's been a catalog of errors for 6 years, I think enough is enough.
Has MO got enough razorblades to go around?
Is MO the new Alias?
Where's Wenger. He should Haul his fucking arse in front of the cameras right now and explain himself.
I think it's far too easy to read something into RvP's reaction at the end of the game, and his instinctive response to The Ox being substituted.
He could just have been disappointed by his own miss of an open goal. Good finish may have made up for it later, but this miss still plays on a striker's mind.
Awesome player, but not beyond criticism himself. He's bound to leave at the end of the season- we all suspected as much, but in my opinion, today's behaviour isn't the first sign of cracks emerging.
Thought Rosicky played reasonably well today, personally. Was ineffective in the first half (then again, so was most of the team) but helped contribute to us playing a high tempo pressing game in the second and was one of the passes that led to VP's goal (iirc it was Koscielny>Rosicky>Oxo>VP). He seems to have gotten some of his spark back from when he first joined us, and is always willing to have a shot.
Quite disappointed in Ramsey, on the other hand...
Going to be quite an uncomfortable answer to the sub question.
Hope he doesn't dig out something up there with the Arshavin benching for the Cup semi-final reason.
