I was kinda hoping these kind of shit performances were behind us? I was hoping Wenger had learned his lesson by not playing negative midfielders? FUCK.

Who else could've played today that the fans can hand on heart say they believe in to deliver beyond the starting eleven? Plenty of shit performances to come from every team near the top of the league. There easily should've been enough in that team to win the game but we didn't. And the 'negative midfielders' should've given us better protection against the counter attacks, so what happened there?
Elneny is a solid squad player and has contributed more to the club here than Jack has in the past two years. Wilshere completed 90 minutes for the first time in 24 months today. He chose to leave. He's still to prove whether he's worth the time and energy anymore.
That's all we've got when it comes to footie my friend, the next game, a bit of hope and getting off our tits in the meantime.
Yet to see the game but why is Elneny taking so much of the blame? He's not our creative player but he had a 95% completion rate, played the ball forward more times than he played it square or backwards and supplied our most creative players more than any other midfielder. Ozil received the ball from MO more than an other player but Ozil didn't create a single chance and actually played the ball backwards more than he did forward.
Mo, in fact, supplied Iwobi and Theo more than any other midfield player. Considering his pass completion rate is so high and he's getting tha ball to our most creative players, shouldn't the burden fall on these guys to create something more? He's no Santi but the bias on here is crazy. The burden has to fall on our most creative players. Ozil, Sanchez, Iwobi and Theo. They have to pick up the slack. Should be no excuses for these guys creating zero or just 1 chance from 90 minutes. No successful takes on and hardly any shots on goal. What the heck are they doing? When we're up against a stubborn defence we need players to take some risks. The problem isn't Elneny because this sounds like the sort of problem we had against Burnley.
Boro deserved the win today. We fluked a point today.. another point towards our 4th place trophy! :trophy:
