Damaging game if Walcott and Ox are out for a long time. Which they will be.
Other than the injuries, a worthless game in every sense.
We already knew our injury situation is a farce that needs fixing. And we already knew that Debuchy, Flamini and Campbell are crap.
If Theo and Ox are somehow okay, this night will be instantly forgotten.
Oh, and bring back Jenks and Gnabbers. And make sure they don't pick up injuries on the motorway.
At least we can't trigger a collapse from this competition in February.
With the injury list it's probably for the best we go out of this comp early but the performance was shambolic. Worrying gulf developing between first team and the back ups.
I thought things were meant to be different with Shad.
It's funny but the general feeling was that the injury situation was improving under the new set up. Back to ridiculous now though.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
A defeat is never what the doctor ordered. Not under a Wenger side. History proves that. I'm fearful not about how we bounce back, but when.
It's frustrating because this is a competition we can win. We've knocked Spurs out, one of the more serious competitors for this cup and then we get a humbling experience at a lower league side.
We're not going to win the champions league, the league will take a mental capacity that might be beyond us and we need a very favorable draw to try and retain the FA Cup (again, history dictates that winning the FA Cup three times in a row is nigh on impossible). Therefore, the league cup shouldn't be completely disregarded.
On the plus side, that Polish kid looked good.

Pretty candid from Wenger.Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger: "It was a very bad night for us. We lost two important players in the first part of the game and then we were not at the level we needed to be.
"Congratulations to them, they were faster, sharper and more decisive than us. We could not create anything. We were very naive when defending.
"We cannot master how people will react. I left six players at home and I still lost two to injury.
"The level was too high for the young players tonight. They are not ready to play at this level.
"We are short now with the injuries. It is a big blow for us."
Didn't see it, don't care.
A competition Wenger is always quite unlikely to win given how low it is on the priority list. Most disappointing thing for me is that there wasn't an opportunity to see a game for £10 at the Emirates this season.
Terrible news with the injuries though, hope they're not serious.

I'm only interested in seeing if our kit is as crap as people on here have been saying.
Every defeat hurt and it wasn't a good example for the new young players . There is nothing wrong losing a such unnecessary game . But showing a bit of fight inspires the next generation .
On a positive note , Christian Bielike showed some maturity for a boy of 17 years old .
DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
