Phew!
Sh*t performance and a lucky win but what is a very average team.
Swansea can feel hard done by as they deserved a draw.
Boring and painful to watch
A win is a win feck the performance end of the day come end of the season who but zim will give a shit about how we played in this game.
We won a game. :faint:
Pretty shite performance but that's a given really these days.
Ah well, at least it's some points on the board.
I Eight - Two say that this season is not going well for us...
but then again, beggars cannot be chooserss, so am happy with the win thus far!
I'm kinda coming out the other end of all this. It's been 2 long weeks since our last game (well, 3 for me cos, to date, I've yet to see even a minute of the debacle at Old Trafford on playback) and ANY win is welcome.
If the board WERE going to do anything about Wenger, let's face it, they'd have done it after the ManUre game.
If we still want Arsenal to falter in a vain attempt to open the board's eyes instead of piecing a few wins together, I can only see it being counter-productive.
Shocking performance, looks like Wenger has got to the new signings and ruined them already.
As for you Charlump

We are watching the end result of years of plundering the team and plugging the gaps with shite. Benayoun was a joke. Running all over the place and never got a touch of the ball. Arteta might as well not be here if all we need is a pivot for the tippy-tappy shit we play. Merts had an average debut and got beaten in the air twice, once where he misjudged it and failed to even jump. Walcott didn't make it, bags of potential but he'll have to go elsewhere to realise it. Frimpong is a reserve, the Coquelin kid looks good but he's a reserve too. Are we asking these players to maintain performances at the top level, because that's a joke if we are and shows how weak we are. We need to spend around £100million in January and next summer to replace what we have lost and get back to the top. That's not going to happen so we might as well get used to this type of performance as our new standard. The team has been looted by the board. Cunts.
We're in a serious trouble. The signs aren't good. We got the win, but it could have easily ended 1-1.
I thought the team would have come out guns blazing after the signings and the massacre. We look exactly the same and part of that is down to Wenger's tactics.
Is there any real need to play a 4-3-3 just so we can play Ramsey while 3 of our front men look out of sorts? Walcott was terrible. Rubbish performance. RVP was out of sorts and so was Arshavin, but you could see glimpses of danger from each of them in certain situations but all three of them are isolated when playing the static 4-3-3. He has to change it.
Extremely toilet. . . .Merts was the pick of the new guys, Areta very quiet and Yossi a lot of running around
Whats for sure these guys are going to need time to settle. . .but I would say that Walcott should not play on the wing anymore. . .welcome back Gerbil. . .Arshavin should not play in the wing or at all. . . .buy Hazard
Frimps is not bad but not ready and clearly one mad moment away from a red card
Gibbs didnt do TOO badly to be fair
Not sure about this formation, without Cesc or Nasri, RvP looks starved, more direct approach with emphasis on pace
we won today so happy with that, happy to have the UTD game behind us now. . .next Blackburn, as good a test as any
We won, through a very lucky goal no less.
Had their keeper not made such a mess it would have been 0-0.
Says it all for me, come the end of the season I'll still be wanting that muppet sacked, I won't remember this 3 points that's for sure. Not sure why the 3 points matters that much anyway, we've got enough games to make sure we're midtable, we won't be getting top 4.
What a fucking shite performance. Really lucky to get 3 points out of that, Swansea deserved a draw.
And yet we still have fans backing Wenger. We saw the banner at the Emirates saying "In Wenger we Trust" :lol: If fans still trust Wenger after what he's done to this squad, there's no hope.
Against a better quality side, we'd have lost this game, make no mistake about it.
Walcott was shit, RVP was shit, Ramsey looked awkward, Frimpong isn't ready, while Benayoun played like the washed up has-been that he is.
This is going to be such a shit season for us. The only thing to look forward to is the end of it, when Wenger will hopefully be sacked after we finish mid table.
[QUOTE=Charlie the Gooner;4359. not bothered how we played don't think the players are either we got the points. you can't play well all the time. if we played beautiful stull todayand lost yo uwould be still moaning you mug.
you need to go sepcsavers take a look at the result all that matters. We should have got more goals but thats footie.[/QUOTE]
We need to be controlling games at home against teams like Swansea City. The fact we can't is the big worry that lurks behind these three points. Yes we won but I can't see many wins this season unless the team dramatically improves. But where is the improvement going to come from? Jack and TV will make a difference but not all over the pitch. Even worse, there are no signs Wenger has grasped just how poor we are. When you look at his team selection, his formation, his substitutions, it's clear he still believes in is failed methods now that he's added a bit of experience which even he admitted was needed to break the freefall. I've watched a good few teams already this season and we are among the worst I have seen so far, in terms of doing the basic stuff the gets you results in football matches. Today's result was a lottery, it could have gone either way and in fairness Swansea did more to win that game than us. The three points are great but a lottery won't supply them week in, week out.
its not even about the players anymore, dont forget our results towards the end of last season even with Cesc and Nasri.
its 100% Wenger and his management teams fault:
Tactically shocking
Plays square pegs in round holes
Shocking subs
Confused players and repetitive play
He must now go, the guy has completely lost touch with the modern game and he is so stubborn and deluded that he will end up getting sacked which no one wants to see.
RVP shows what he can do for Holland, for us he is shit, Ramsey gets man of the match with Wales for us he is awful etc etc.
Wenger no longer has Henry, Bergkamp, Pires etc to bail him out after his disastrous management.
Wenger should go and be a number two somewhere or a coach and leave the trophy winning to the Peps, Moureens, Fergasons etc of this world.
Awful
Awful
Awful
Wenger is a has-been tbh. He should have left at the end of the season, because he just can't manage a top level side anymore.
Charlie calm down mate
Yes we won and 3points is good, first win of the season
youre right its football and we didnt handle ourselves well against the lesser teams last year so happy to come out with a win
But I understand tje others frustration and people are entitled to their view
We do need to give the news guys time. . .Gerbs flew out the blocks, and sadly straight into that cunt Joey Barton (someone you CAN call a cunt) and I cant wait to see him back
but we were shocking at times today, Ramsey at the end when we were 3 on 1 was especially bad
the formation does not work these days and I would like to see us work with 2 up, Chamak might be good for this
if anyone here is not convinced that we will be involved in a relegation battle, please tell me because I've been watching football for 25 years and today I've seen our Arsenal never shooting at goal in the second half against a team yet to score in the PL. Awful.
To be fair, the 'Wenger Out's' among us are consistent- whether we win or lose, they have the same basic, underlying wish.
I agree MO alot we were shite and do look like we could be in trouble but no point crying till 15 games whe nwe know where we are.
Agree and i feel the same but while we have won and got our 1st win of the season i will be happy or is it better if i mope around and we lost today.
I hope someone with sense makes a decision on our Manager before January if this keeps up.
WTF were you lot expecting? We had two debutants, a rookie and a lad whos still coming back from a broken leg. That and Song, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Gervinho all out. A win is a win. Wouldn't look too much beyond that at the moment tbh. Onward and upwards from here...Dortmund next
