Welcome back Kos
We were awful and he was the worst of a bad bunch
dropping Mertz was the key to this loss
Fuck.
meh;
'they have spent more money than us anyway'
Horrble performance, easiest 3 points Chelsea will pick up all season. Can't get my head around how lethargic we were, no sense of urgency at all.
The defence is back, after the recent blip of good showings. :rolleyes:
fucking awful, disgraceful and a joke. the only player who gets any credit today is jenkinson. he was supberb.
and theo can shove his contract demands up his arse. the annoymous waste of space
They played like strangers.
Best defender v City dropped for a big game
Wenger is a clueless fuck who needs to go
Ramsey on the right v Cole instead of Theo who has raped Cole time and time again. Cole will never have had an easier afternoon.
Cazorla ineffective.
Pod taken off despite being our best striker for a lump called Giroud who has proven me right unfortunately :(
Jenkinson excellent. Mannone had no chance for the goals. Diaby is dead yet again
Not even he would have made a diffrence.Quote:

Both teams were poor today. Chelsea made less mistakes.
Terrible free-kicks and goals to concede. It should always definitely be Mertesacker +1.
As bad as we were (and Ramsey, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain in particular were overly sloppy), we still had enough chances to equalise and even win.
Jenkinson the best player again. Every other player came out with little credit.
The expected petulant knee-jerk reactions from one bad display will be the biggest memory of today though.
Too pissed off right now
t Bould should have made sure Merts played i mean he trains them does he not?Quote:

It was like Arsavin in the euros. The little **** can fuck off now, obvious why he's not going played. A couple more quality players in the team would raise the standard considerably because the weaker, ame wreckers wouldn't need to be carried.
Girouds late miss and Gervinhos unexpected finish the highlights, for different reasons.
Torres a horrible cheat, depicable slime.
What a bad game, this lot don't have it in their gut.
This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks we gave away goals from Vermaelan unnecessary foul.
How on earth we conceded two goals from the same set piece? The answer is easy, no one want to be in charge and left
it to the last defender to deal with it.
Ramsey is shite, we were fine when he was on the wing but as soon as he is moved to CM.. he fecked up at every opportunity.
And finally, Theo.. if he doesn't want it, take him off the team.
I think the Diaby injury had a big impact on the team (yes, I know before that Chelsea played well). After that, there was no balance for the rest of the game and it wasn't a team. Ramsey was playing well out wide, but then unbalanced the CM. Chamberlain did set up the goal, but was dreadful otherwise, especially when moved into CM which was not a good move from Wenger. Giroud...fuck. Koscielny...double fuck. Well played Jenkinson.
Anyway, congratulations Letters.
Kos was awful and Vermaelen had one of his failed action man days. Gibbs was very sloppy as well.
Oxlade and Cazorla were ineffective. The Spanish midget needs to find his shooting boots to go with the neat play.
We probably should have taken a point but then the golden chance fell to Giroud and we all could have called what happened there.
In brief: Arsenal. :doh:
Chelsea were excellent today although we didnt make it hard for them
Top 3 sorted
Arsenal, Everton, Spuds going for 4th
Minimal positives from that game, maybe the main positive is we are a self sustaining profitable business model. Negatives, everything else. A lamp post would have been more effective than Walcott. Diaby is a liability, and needs to go. I am sure he is great at karaoke on team bonding sessions, but he is just too injury prone, and we have no plan B for when he gets injured every game.
Walcott can fuck off after today. I'd have rather played a dead dog in his position and that'd have been 100 times better.
GHELkinson was good though.
You wouldn't have thought he was a former non-league player judging by his woeful teammates.
Vermaelan is he really our best defender? Had a shocker today, but can never been dropped as he has the armband Wumger :doh:
Our vice Captain did not have a good game either. Santi and Poldi never had good games, but shows how poor we are when they had better games then the rest.
Giroud i want to believe in this guy, but im coming round to the Ach school of thought i really am.
Kos was terrible today, our best defenfer last season, but should never have played. As Zimm would say Wenger has egg on his face once again.
Theo looked like he is off.
Gev was Gev.
Chavs had better quality and controlled the game and forced to stpuid goals out of us.
Very poor performance, deserved nothing from this game.
Wenger's team selection and substitutions were baffling as well. Mertesacker should have stayed in the team, and persisting with Ramsey on the right was a terrible decision as well. He tried that last season and he was ineffective and negatively affected our performances. Why does he persist with playing players out of position? How long did it take before he realised Eboue on the right of midfield, Diaby on the left, Bendtner as wing forward etc etc didn't work? Wenger's so stubborn sometimes, that he'll keep a flawed strategy/team selection going for a long time just to be proved right.
Subbing Podolski was a bad idea as well. We saw with that header how dangerous he can potentially be, and yet Gervinho was spared again, despite being extremely erratic throughout the game despite his goal.
I thought Wenger had learned a few lessons from last season, but he still keeps making basic tactical mistakes that you'd expect someone of his experience not to make.
It should have been Coquelin for Diaby not Ramsey. Anyone who thinks Ramsey is a solid CM needs a brain check. The kid has no engine (not to mention technically bad too) to be on the centre of the pitch.Quote:

good tactics from chelsea tbf, stuck oscar on arteta and we couldnt get going.
gervinho awful.
ramsey awful.
chamberlain awful.
oh and diaby off injured :haha: so it begins. 6 games into the season.
fully blame wenger for this. changing a defence that was working so well. it rippled our team full of uncertainty. well done, and to another 16 years :haha:
Gibbs, when fit, is miles better than TV on the left.Quote:

Cant remember the first one but the 2nd one was given away after Arteta fucked up and gave it away
Kos is a massive problem
His 2 decent weeks at the end of last season was enough to convince people hes the best player of all time
I fortunately am a bit older and iwser that that. Hes shit and always has been
Ramsey is shitty CM, he looks OK on the wing cos can't fecked his passing. As soon as he is actually use as CM he will give away the ball day in and day out. He is OK for Norwich, Blackpool, Wales etc but he will never get to play in any other big CL teams. :coffee:Quote:

useless.
No put Gibbs on the bench and get proper wide forward. I like Gibbs but he doesn't offer anything going forward. :coffee:Quote:
