Match Reaction vs QPR

[Fist of Lehmann]

Overall, I am very disappoint.

We worked extremely hard to build ourselves a small cushion, and then piss that cushion up the wall.

Fuxaches.

[Grebbo]

Always thought we'd drop points in this game.

At least City will have to come at us next week which should hopefully help us.

Why the fuck is Wenger playing Ramsey again? We were way better when he was out injured.

I forgot, you're not allowed to criticise Wenger on this message-board, otherwise the pro-Wenger brigade will come down on you like a ton of bricks for "wrong" thinking

Anyway, the above frame shows how Arteta's to blame for the second goal. He completely fails to track Diakite's run, despite being the deepest lying midfielder (Song is ahead of him). For those who say he's playing as the DMF so we shouldn't expect creativity from him and he's doing a good job "ticking things over", well shouldn't we also expect from our defensive midfielder that he should track off the ball midfield runners? Arteta obviously doesn't have the experience or ability to play this role, having never done this in his life, so why is he playing there?

Joker mate. . .you are either the biggest WUM or the most unforgiving fan in the world. . .we could take every frame from every match and analyse it so that we can create a list of culprits to blame but we dont brcause we accept mistakes happen. . .there are a few who make more than others and desreve to suffer our ire but give the guy a bteak, we lost, Im not happy but Im going to move on.



Btw drop the pto Wenger brigade line, it anit as big as you think. . !

To be fair, this links into a wider argument about his role on the field and what he brings to the squad. When people complain about his lack of goals and creativity, people have said he wasn’t bought to replace Cesc and that he’s a defensive midfielder. Well, I don’t think he’s a natural defensive midfielder and will get caught napping more than someone that is used to playing that role.

He's not a defensive midfielder though. I don't think we have one.

They all tend to muck in and do the work.

He's a link player, but also does his fair share of graft. It's more of a unit than it was with Cesc playing. Everyone knew he would be the furthest foward, so you had Wilshire dropping in with Song. Now Cesc is gone, they all take it in turns, though I think Arteta is the one who keeps the ball moving through midfield. He just does the simple stuff, and in the most part, it's really helped us this year.

The problem (from that frame alone) was that niether of them were back.

AW keeps going on about the collective responsibility that we need in oder to defend, and that is what was lacking on Saturday. They all switch about, and if one goes forward, the other drops back in. We were caught too high up the pitch in the example shown, and paif for it, as nobody was tracking the runner.

I see no point in over-analysing it.

It's clear we didn't play well. The boss admitted as much, and I'm sure the players know they didn't play well.

Yes, Arteta is to blame in this instance. Shock horror, player makes a mistake. Every football match in history is littered with mistakes made by individuals. Why do we have to have a witch hunt every time?

The guy has been excellent for us this season.

We were off. We didn't play well, and deservedly got beaten. Shit happens. Let's just move on.

You're wrong!

Now don't challenge my opinion, pro-Wenger brigadier. .

It appears that way. But I don't think Arteta is the one that keeps the ball moving. He doesn't make himself available for the pass that often and probably makes the least amount of runs forward out of the trio in the middle.
