Truth is, we got taken out behind the woodpile and given a right hillbilly seeing to. And we didn't even call the police. This club is dead under Wenger.

I can't believe they are both blaming Laca! He has been subbed every match, even when there wasn't another striker on the bench. He probably felt pressurised into scoring before he was subbed, so ruined his game a bit. Then he comes on with 10 mins or so to go in a NLD when we are one nil down and is expected to get up to speed. He probably felt the pressure to prove himself after the two new guys came in as well. I never wanted Cech, if your rival - at the time - doesn't want him, you should get somebody better!Quote:

I thought he’d been alright up until now, no keeper is perfect but when consistent mistakes happen it’s really worrying.
Bet he can’t believe the difference in protection he received at Chelsea compared to what he gets here though.
To be fair, Cech is the only reason it wasn't a real humiliation on Saturday.
Yeah to be fair he is still a decent shot stopper but he needs replacing this summer no question, he has had a really poor season and is in decline.Quote:

He does need replacing but someone mentioned above the protection our 'keepers get from the defence, or lack thereof.
I think that is more about coaching than player ability personally.
He was yesterday, but he has cost us points in the past with his howlers.Quote:

Oh I agree and I am in no way absolving the defence of any blame. The root cause of the issue is quite clearly coaching or the lack of it with the defensive side of our game. But Arsene knows! His methodology is "We don't coach defence at Arsenal, because we are superior on the ball and the opponent can't get the ball off us"...errr except we are not superior on the ball at all, Spurs are better on the ball than us now, it's sad.Quote:
