We would have been much better off re-signing Fabregas that year, I think. It would have given our midfield more balance. But hey, arsene knows best, right?

It doesn't take a lot to take him out the game. I've said the same about Cesc and been slaughtered but I've seen him play with less talent and still dominate.

If you see a headline, "Gutless Alexis Didn't Turn Up Today", what would you naturally think the focus of the video is? But the guy being interviewed didn't say that at all. Bit more honesty please Robbie. Got enough bullshit associated with this club already.

Part of the problem

I'd agree maybe if Wenger and the board didn't live in an impenetrable bubble

The whole thing he does is to be an agent provocateur, that's why Ty and Claude are often interviewed at the same time or in the vicinity of each other.

Of course it's click bait, let's be honest he's probably looking for fans of other clubs to watch the videos for the entertainment value.

I think on his day, and with the right set up, Ozil is possibly the better playmaker, which is why people react. But Fabregas would have been a better fit and offered more grit and leadership when things are tough. Like today.

Turning our nose up at him is still a decision that baffles me to be honest. We are constantly in thrall to wenger's fragile ego at this club.

For me, when a player has to make a standing jump vs someone that's making a running jump, as Henry said, the momentum just follows through. If Alonso had given him the stiff arm in an attempt to block Bellerin, foul. But enough of that. Even if the foul was called we'd have conceded in a similar fashion because of the way they were countering and Wenger set up up to play high up the pitch with our wingbacks further up for width. It may have worked in the first game but didn't work today and we found that out. Scoreline could have been a lot worse.

I can't even watch his post match interviews anymore after a defeat.

Yeah it was like watching a replay of last season's game minus the sending offs, it's all so predictable.

I agree, especially the bit on re-signing Fabregas instead of him.

Ozil is definitely a luxury player and his performances in the big games since he's joined us have on the whole been abysmal. He's our record signing and many are discussing whether he should start in the big games or in some cases be pushed out wide. We paid 43million for someone who should be excused from putting in a shift in the big games?! WTF?!!!

I honestly don't care if he goes at the end of the season. Of course Wenger needs to go but I'm not against the contract rebels going if it means we fetch good money for a new man to come in and rebuild.

Both are sulky cunts. Get money for them and give it to the new manager. Fuck off as well Coquelin, he is a Championship player. God we are in the shite :(

Wenger confirmed that he's been offered a 2 year deal by the club

Lost interest in what he had to say after he claimed Ospina was a decent keeper
