By all accounts Liverpool were all over us like a rash from the off hence four quick goals, I am asking too much for us to once to take a leaf out someone else's book?
We didn't lose and are only one point off, got to get max points from next few games before going into the title deciders.....seriously 'grow a set time'
Nah. I was wondering why Suarez was interested in joining us because he would have been in a similar situation as he was last season before Sturridge joined.Quote:

Arteta is finished, Wilshere a nothing player, Ozil and Cazorla skillful but meek, Flamini adequate and Ramseys had a good season, Walcott never fit.
I dont think we'd have won it with Suarez alone. Suarez has Sterling, Sturridge and Coutinho in support. Pace, movement, intent and incision. Our midfield doesnt do any of that.
That all seems to make sense until you realise that Liverpool 4 points behind us in the League and wouldarguably be further behind if we had Suarez.
But you have to admit, we are the only team to have dropped points.
Its our defence, theyve been super.Quote:

Nicely put.
It is strange how Wenger has assembled a side like this, one thing you always thought he had a handle on was how to ensure the side is loaded with creativity.
Seems like he's solved one problem with the defence and created another with a powderpuff attack.
Wow that was pants. Where has our midfield gone? Bored of watching Wilshire getting bumped off the ball, his first touch is as delicate of that of a rapist at the moment. Rosicky tried but no NE seems to be on the same wavelength, just standing with their markers, yet when it breaks down they are miles away from shutting the opposition down. Mystified by the single sub tbh, is the only way to get Pod to train by pretending he's going to get on? Meh.
Chorus of boos at the end.
Walk into the toilets at full time and someone shouts Wenger out.
Bit extreme but understand the frustration. Will we ever beat a top team in the league?
Poor January will probably cost us. Depressed.
I'm beyond pissed off with this, and Wenger has to take full responsibility for it.Quote:

Our best chance in a long time, and he fucked it up. We could have very easily walked to the title this season, had he got an athletic CDM (Like Luis Gustavo), and a fast striker who can create chances out of nothing. (like Higuain).
Even then, in January, we perhaps only needed a few additions, one striker, and maybe one winger/centre mid. He gets in Kallstorm, who won't even play for us when he's fit.
Come on guys, we aren't the only team fucking up and we haven't even spent a billion quid on more playa!
Yes it's very frustrating watching such a laboured performance but if Giroud had stuck one of those chances in we'd be grumbling at the top of the league. Yes, he didn't stick any away, yes we don't have a backup option, but don't throw everything out the window. We just got a squillion quid from various sponsors, let's see what Wenger does with it in the summer. The whole stadium, pragmatic sponsorship shit has finally wound out. The whole reason for doing it was to be sitting in a top class stadium and to put a winning team on the pitch. If they don't make good on the purpose of this plan in the summer then absolutely fine, all of them out. But the chavs and gypos are fucking up just as badly and this Liverpool for the title nonsense will fade as soon as they put in a couple of bad results. 1st, 2nd or 3rd and a fat wad spent in the summer wouldn't be bad progress.
4th and the chequebook locked in Wenger's underpants and we are still okay because we get to go on a wild shooting spree.
