A MASSIVE SHOWER OF SHIT.
:thumbsdown:
When the going get's tough, we go missing.
As expected another failure to win a game against the big sides (an awful one at that).
Similar to the Chelsea game earlier on in the season. Pretty awful really, slow tiki taka approach, no runners, no urgency.
More embarrassing than the Liverpool defeat to me, please Wenger do us a favor and build a proper team.
Ozil, Carzola, Ramsey, Wilshere, Ox, Rosicky, Gnarby, and don't forget about Diaby, while good players. We don't need all of them on one team.
Can't beat the worst United team, under their worst ever manager once this season.
:lol:
Pure cowardice by the manager.
Utd absolute shite even though they were allowed to foul at will.
Easy 3 points chucked away because we refused to have a go.
Question: Can Giroud carry us the whole season?
Answer: Is the pope a jew?
IMHO we will end up scrapping for 4th. the optimists will point to our points difference etc but we looked cooked as a proper force and utterly without inspiration either from the dugout or on the pitch. Wenger is the antithesis of proactive - and the most uninspiring of the lot.
are people still knee jerking or do we really have a managerial problem, when push comes to shove?
just asking is all, anyway why even bother.
hope one day we can actually play some good football, that's all that's left to really hope for.
Sack the fuker! This has nothing to do with his transfer policy or injuries to our players. Tactically, Wenger doesn't know what he is doing.
The board will do him a big favor if they let him go this summer, he built us a great base and it is time for him to pass it over to younger and better manager. Wenger out :fingers:
Depressing not to beat this united team this season. They are awful.
They parked the bus but we had no movement or pace to overcome it.
Terribly disappointing we didn't win.
But our players at least tried. They forced De Gea into so many top saves.
I really didn't expect us to blitz United away. This is the same team that won the league at a canter last season. They always have the desire, motivation and raise their game against us.
Today was firstly in my opinion about not conceding and not losing. I don't think any team can lose 5-1 and not lose confidence.
Our guys tried. And we created far more shots on goal and chances than they did.
Our lack of wide players and Wenger's lack of investment is killing us unfortunately.
But at least the defence kept a clean sheet.
Disappointing no doubt. But after 5-1, a bit of perspective please.
Needed a striker, got Kallstrom instead. Cant wait for him to tear up the opposition defenders with his pace :lol:
We had chances to take 3 points.
Giroud and Wilshere should be dropped. Better from Ozil. Teamed up with Cazorla well and I think we need to get them to pairing up more.
Yep, if you look at the table now we're only 6 points ahead of the Scum, we're getting sucked into a top 4 battle IMHO.Quote:

Its seriously ridicoulous how many big chances he misses, i cant see him getting into the starting line-up in most other premier league teams.
No they didn't park the bus. Wenger built a big wall in front of Manu back four, all his own doing :coffee:Quote:

Wenger is in total statistics mode. Avoid fatigue, avoid injuries, avoid, avoid, avoid. End up in us avoiding a performance. Can't win by being safe all the time.
Why wasnt a second sub made? Why wasnt Podolski brought out? What was the point of Sanogo ahead of Gnabry? Horrible man management by Arsene.. His new deal must be torn up till the end of the season.
Missed it, mercifully, due to MrsL's birthday.
Adzz kept me up to date and from early on I could see how it would go.
Same old Arsenal...
This side plus a proper striker would win the title or go very close. Giroud tries his best but frankly he's not good enough.
Didn't think we worked hard enough from the off, expected a higher tempo and more closing down.Quote:

Today was about 3 points, anything less isn't good enough after getting hammered at the weekend, especially when playing at home.
We didn't have that many chances at goal, Cazorla was the pick in that regard, but Man U had 3 clear chances despite playing sh*t.
Reasonably fair comment.Quote:

When you have your fullback out wide in space looking for an option, absolutey nobody other than Giroud is looking to get in the box.
Every player moves towards the ball for a short pass. Nobody ever runs off it to create space, or get on the end of something.
Please. It's sooooo frustrating.
All said and done. It's same old. Should have won, but couldn't see it through v UTD.
:banghead:
Giroud has been sack of shit for months now. Ironically, we had 3 strikers on the bench tonight but none get to play. :coffee:
FFS what is with our inability to beat these cunts? They're so fucking shite and yet we can't take them apart, we were just too scared to have a go.
No pacy runners in the team at all, everyone's a slow midger number 10 attacking midfielder.
Ozil. Yes.
Santi. Yes.
Rosicky. Yes.
Jack. Yes.
Giroud ..... yes. No one can run with pace and get behind a defence. I said it in the match thread before kick off but not having Gnabry on the bench was mental, he's one of the few players who can do it.
Losing Theo spelled the end of our title challenge it seems.
Insipid stuff really.
Still enough chances to win though.
When we were on top towards the end, Wenger just continued with the status quo by bringing Ox on for Rosicky rather than going for the win by bringing our best finisher Podolski on or even Bendtner/Sanogo.
We're on the verge of letting all our good work just evaporate into nothingness and Wenger is seemingly not interested in doing much to change that.
Just hugely disappointing.
Decent games from Cazorla,Ozil and Gibbs. Szczesny superb again. Wilshere and Rosicky awful and Wenger does Wilshere no favours by keeping him on when he's on the verge of getting injured/getting sent off/harming his own team.
At least we haven't conceded at home for ages.
Liverpool pelanty now.. only a few points separate us!

I'd have loved the 3 points today no doubt.
But after a 5-1 pasting where questions were asked about this defence we responded well in that regard.
Don't get me wrong - the lack of investment in the team, the lack of wide and flair players and the lack of a proper striker of course is killing us and those are all things that Wenger has to answer for.
We really are getting dragged back into a scrap for 4th, the teams below us are winning and hitting form, our form has been getting worse and worse and with the games we have left 4th place is going to be a fight, never mind fighting for the title.
Rvp
So glad we have an easy run of games from now on...
It was NEVER going to be an easy game, regardless of how shite they are. That said, we should still have won the game and a team who has led the league for the most time can't got to Anfield and get beat 5-1.
One point in both those games is disappointing to say the least.
Not even worth making any further comments about Giroud. But someone will tell me, a centre forward at Arsenal doesn't need to score goals.....as if he's Bergkamp or something.
Podolski our apparent most lethal forward not coming on for even a sniff is an absurd state of affairs too. But it's okay because it's impossible to sign players in January right.....or in the summer before....or the January before that....
For me my reaction ain't knee jerk. Far from it. We are not a shit team. Our manager isn't shit. But for good reason many Gooners were circumspect when we were riding high, and this result and performance simply underlines the fact that despite the 42M. Despite the defensive improvement. We are still no more than a top 4 team with a top 4 manager.
