The whole back four are shit,too slow passing got to speed it up not sure if we have the bollox to win this game

[Dennis Bendtner]

We should get a replay at least. Not sure Sunderland have much to offer aside from closing down. Song's Hollywood forward passes come off 1 in 10. Hopefully we'll score the one. Walcott should be effective off the bench.

If not.

Let's all kill ourselves.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Keane calls it spot on.

if we did practice defending in training, we would find out that djrou and squid are frauds, FFS

Song, Ramsey, Arteta, Vermaelen have been just as worse. Gervinho is far too cautious and doesn't back his ability to beat players as he once did. He keeps passing backwards. Oxlade is not seeing much of the ball and when he does it's hit at him right in the touchline and he has nowhere to go. It's just a very average midfield that's the biggest problem. I know we concede a lot but it comes down to not being able to control the game. And control isn't just possession, it's about being able to threaten to worry the opposition.

Prime example: There was a situation in the first half where Oxlade was in a fair bit of space on the right, and Arteta found him with a 40 yard ball. Oxlade didn't have to move. It was inch-perfect. The problem? He was no longer free because the pass was looped up and took a long time to get to him which allowed defenders to close him down. The speed at which you do things is just as important as the accuracy. We are, at times, accurate. But we cannot be accurate and quick because we're simply not good enough.

Sunderland's attack - where they countered with Seb Larsson swinging a ball in from the right, some pub-teamer dragging it back first time for McClean to hit the side-netting....that is faster than any attack that we're able to put together.

These players are not technically good enough to cope on a poor pitch and with the opposition closing down so aggressively. In the past we could, but the calibre of players we have these days is so low that we can't play a passing style anymore. We may as well resort to pub team tactics and hope for the best. If you had a Championship team out there today, they'd probably show more composure on the ball than many of our players.

Itv commentary can fuck off
Arsenal
So pretty much service as usual

[Marc Overmars]

Same old shit. Start well, keep the ball, don't create a great deal, look shaky as fuck at the back then concede to the oppositions first shot on goal.

45 mins to save our season.

Townsend is a proper bell. Twat.

Complete frauds, most of them should fuck off out of this club, they are nowhere near as good as they think they are. Sure, they talk a good game, but when it comes to the crunch they're absolute fucking cowards.
