Match Reaction v Scrotes

[The Wengerbabies]

Did none of you know Columbo was on ITV? Very good episode, stuff happened in it. Still on if you want to catch the end and avert a completely wasted and pointless afternoon.

Meanwhile, watched 5 mins of that garbage being served up by the team formerly known as Arsenal. Diaby - Lol. Gervinho - lol. Comedy players, fucking clueless. But we knew that. RvP carried the team last year. Song provided some of the ammunition. Both have been sold. Therefore the season is over before it started. This is the inescapable fact. It would be okay if the team could provide even 30 seconds of entertainment every once in a while. But it can't, it's incapable. No pace, no purpose, no urgency, no flair, no guts, but we knew this too. Arsenal is without a doubt the most boring team playing the game today. It's technical, there's a lot of possession, but the style completely lacks the fundamental objective of scoring a goal - the players just aren't good enough in the area that matters, the final third. You cannot be Barcelona with second rate players. It's the talent all over the pitch that makes Barca tick. Take away that talent and replace it with Arsenal journeymen and it's obvious what you'll get. Rubbish.

I'm basing this judgement on last season, and the season before and before a d before. I am completely comfortable and confident assessing the games this season, without actually enduring them, because you don't need to see it to know what will happen. That's how predictable the team is.

Don't know who they are playing next but I predict they'll play a slow possession game with zero end product. Lol. Who would dare bet against me?

If you've given up with football like you say, why are you still wasting your time posting this?

Pathetic performance to be honest, Wenger clearly just doesn't have a clue how to setup a team these days. Two games no goals scored against two teams we should be beating.

Not gonna be a good season by the looks of this, totally devoid of ideas....very very disappointed....time for the old man to pack his bags I'm afraid.

Another mad dash in the final few days of the transfer window is probably required/

Also, Diaby, starting to look the business. Needs to speed up though.

Yeh, the horseshit business

Impressed with the overall defensive performance, not just the back four, but also our defensive midefield shape when we didn’t have the ball was better too. All over the pitch players gave as good as they got and were happy to get stuck in, Stoke certainly didn’t bully us as much as they used to recently. Bould seems to be having a good effect.

Attacking wise same problems. There is still little movement with our attacking play, most of the time it was too static. More players need to move around into space and in terms of making forward runs, or dribbling and taking players on when they had the ball. Many times Cazorla had the ball and had to slow things down because there were so many standing still. We looked more dangerous when someone took a chance to dribble it or make a run forward, but it didn’t happen enough.

There are lots of cliches that can be thrown about at this moment: Could do better; it will take time; etc.

The reality is that this is a new team with a new attacking system and key player. It would have been fantastic if things had gone right from the beginning but they have not. Now we have to look towards next week and next weekend. I think that Arsnal need a couple of new players and they need a result from the Liverpool match. Personally, I would not be surprised to see an Arsenal win but it will be very difficult.

They shoed an interview with Geoff Cameron of Stoke, and it speaks volumes that Stoke wanted to stop Arsenal playing more than they wanted to play their game.

Bould has sorted the defence out

Get Bergkamp in to sort out the attack

Get Wenger out and bring in Laudrup and we play decent football once again
