Shit game. Plenty of bluster but we were snuffed out by this average Chelsea side as usual.
2 points from 9 against teams around us, a poor return.
We can regain top spot before the year is out but 6 points from West Ham and Newcastle are essential, given Liverpool play Chelsea and City
Terrible game, terrible performance.
Mourinho and Dean played it perfectly and Wenger and the team played into their hands.
Have to get maximum points from the next few games.
mourinho and mike dean are cunts of the highest order.
we were poor but it was better not to lose then to try to win and lose like the dortmund home game. shows we have learnt from those mistakes. i don't understand the no subs either. shocking from wenger.
overall in perspective we are second on goal difference. 1 point above city, 2 ahead of chelsea. after villa, who would have thought that? plenty of time to get back to top, esp looking at liver pools next two games. city and chelsea. poor performance, but overall a good point
Terrible performance but happy with the point!
Giroud getting injured wouldn't be a disaster....there I said it.
mourinho also had no intention of winning that game. the time wasting, the fouling, the diving and the subbing off a striker for a defender. no one will mention that though, we were poor but its difficult to beat a side that has no intention of winning.
Didn't look like we had the nerve to go and win it either in fairness.Originally Posted by the ollie and the ivy
hmm true, id say we gave a bit of go compared to chelsea. after conceding 8 in our last two games, I'm glad we kept a clean sheet but mourinho iddnt want to win that game at all. he did the same at united when they played.
That's not true. He's not good at the link up play. Not at the moment anyway. Nobody is getting any chances whilst he's outside the box.Giroud is great at his link up play but Wenger must see that he expounds a huge amount of energy with his hold up play and he is just does not have the freshness anymore.
We need to kick on now and win our next two games. Wenger needs to buy a striker in January, one that is clinical in front of goal. We're traditionally finish strongly in the second half of the season, long may this continue.
Giroud should've put the chance that he sliced, away. I world class striker would've scored that.
