Thought we'd get murdered. If Utd hadn't been guff in front of goal we'd gave lost seven. Easy.
We are awful.
No passion. No thought. No respect for the opposition. It was almost ad if they took pity on us.
Worst Arsenal team in years. Truly dire.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Well we use to be sh*t at the back, no we're sh*t at the back and up front...that's progress for you.
The defence hasn't improved IMO, I've seen enough games recently to tell me that, we've been horribly exposed loads of times. Fergie is clever and adapts to the opposition and tries to exploit their weaknesses unlike the bloke who's managing us.
even Fergason cant believe what has happened to the quality games between these two teams lol
i can tell you mate, we have sold all our quality footballers, you should know you bought one lol
Our midfield is a bit shit
Arteta has never been good enough for us and its beginning to show
Cazorlas honeymoon period is over
Wilshere will need time but he never had end product before the injury.
Pretty much, though the team last year lost 8-2 and they were much better.
Funny how football is.
Have to agree with the last part big time.
We never had a chance. That team struggled to score against weaker teams so we had no chance today. Podolski was anonymous again and really starting to piss me off. Arshavin did more down the left then he did all game. No idea why Wenger started Ramsey as well. We got more into the game and finally scored once we had proper wingers.
But before we can talk about squad selection, we need to talk about defence and Vermaelen. We were on the back foot before the game could start. Terrible defending.
The results are sadly predictable based on team selection most of the time now. It's just madness to play a team and players who have been off-form for a while now. The injured players would give us options, but this time we had enough players to compete if the right selections had been made from kick-off. The fact that we played quite well in the second half and could somehow have drawn 2-2 at the end is all the more frustrating.
Sagna, Mertesacker, Arteta were the only players who were switched on. These players rarely let the team down. Giroud caused them some problems and could have had a hat-trick, crazily enough. Imagine what he could do with movement, urgency and a functioning team around him.
Vermaelen has been poor too many times recently. Santos on the same side as him makes him worse, but Koscielny with a run of games showed he was the better defender last season. Vermaelen should be third choice. But he's the captain. If Gibbs isn't available, then Sagna or Jenkinson have to play there. Or even Meade.
Did you read what he said, he was not talking about our defence.
