Match Reaction vs Fulham 10/11/12

[Bergkampwonderland10]

I'll never give up hope.

Here's hoping

[Injury Time]

what were you more angry at when you left the stadium - missing the pen, giroud for not taking it or our defence for letting the game slip?

Our "midfield" & "defence" for being non existent, unorganised, weak minded bags of such rancid gash that even a GUM clinic would just kill them with fire for stinking so bad.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

the old school dont put up with this rubbish. they question every decision and demand answers. they understand wenger built much of the standards we now expect but they also expect those standards to be kept, not used as an excuse to blindly defend wenger. we wouldnt be here without wenger but its no excuse to accept defeat and feel sorry for ourselves. for how many years do you pray an old dog learns new tricks? the same dog who had success almost a decade ago? we're sitting here complaining about a poor squad when there's resources to be spent. there are no excuses.

Spot on, got to say your a top poster and the fact you go to away games and stay there when were 4-0 down to Reading shows you fucking care. No one can tell me diffrent.

I think its a generational thing, Those that have only Known Wenger as our manager will defend him more, cause they are scared of whats coming next. Those who known the likes of GG etc, Know the unknown to have been good, AKA Wengers early years. You also have the oldies, who saw games in the 70's and had times that were much worse then this, so i guess they keep the faith.

I mean Pool fans in the 70's have been much lucky then Pool fans now.

Yep that's the question to ask and the only answer is the defence. Anyone can miss a pen so it's not Arteta's fault (even though he was pure crap today). You can't blame Giroud when we all know Wenger has pre-determined the penalty takers. Giroud was our best player in both attack and defence. On the few occasions we effectively cleared a set piece it was always Giroud winner the headers out. For all of Merts good reading of games, critical interceptions etc this season the guy is appalling in the air. Kos is just a constant brain fart and Sagna seemed to have the wrong studs on as he spent more time on his arse.
We seriously miss Gibbs in both a defensive and attacking sense. We had no go forward down our left flank at all today.

I just finished watching the Everton game, Fellaini is surely a must-get in January

most true gooners would have seen a win as paper cover up the cracks. We didn't deserve to win, the more bad results we get the more ivan and stan will be forced to change their mentality towards our football club

Yeah but we still would have loved the 3 points. Thats as dumb as saying id have loved us to miss a pen in the final of the fa cup because at leat then it will show the board how bad we are.

We miss Gibbs and Jenks tbh. Jenks never should have been dropped. We miss Chesney too we really do. I just don't think our defence has faith in Mannoe like it does Ches.

Like you say anyone can miss a pen and if he scored it would be a diffrent issue, we'd be saying good win but how the defence we need to improve.

Giroud for not taking the pen for me...sorry I am a fan of his...love his movement, think he's a great addition and now he's scoring ... but...he came here saying 'he didn't expect to play, he thought he'd be a sub' just not the mentality this team needs to have let alone broadcast in public - and today, if he's to become a world beater, a risk-taker - he should have grabbed that ball from Arteta without a moments thought....sadly he is not going to be a world-beater - just a good player with another - 'accepting' personality.

He doesnt have any

[Cripps_orig]

was i the only one that was genuinely happy when arteta missed the penalty

I wouldnt say i was happy but i expected it so wasnt too upset.

I am a naturally optimistic poster though so i see the best in every situation and him missing means we dont paper over the cracks that a win will surely have done
