Woeful second half performance.
Awful substitutions.
Squillaci.
Ref was diabolical - and I'm not talking about the red card, that was a red.

Walcott and Gervinho were having shit games, but the bigger problem was our lack of options on the bench. Why the fuck was Oxlade not on the bench? Then, we could have done a like for like substitution, taking Theo/Gervinho off and bringing another pacey winger on.
And the way our midfield lost control in the 2nd half was telling. Arteta really isn't doing enough IMO. He needs to be hooked, but again, who can replace him at the moment?
Our midfield 3 is as bad as it gets
Song is off form and Arteta and Ramsey are extremely poor.
We need some creativity in there
yes he was poor, but his presence alone is a problem for opposition. facts are facts.Quote:

We had a great run but now it's back to the drawing board.
We were shit all 2nd half though, with them on the pitch and without them.Quote:

It was just a shit 2nd half performance. I'm not convinced it would have been a better performance or result with those two still on the pitch.
From Cesc Wilshire Song who bare in mind won fuck all, we now have Ramsey Arteta and Song......fcuk me
I agree, but opinions are opinions.Quote:

But really, we should've been out of sight in the first half, had two good penalty shouts (Senderos on Gervinho and RVP) and a few other excellent chances. Poor tactical performance by Wenger. And bringing on Squillaci instead of Miquel (could've swapped Coquelin over to the right and played Miquel at LB) was stupid, pretty much guaranteeing that we'd conceded and he duly provided the assist.
Sad to see Szczesny flap at a cross, hopefully Almuniaitis isn't creeping in.
