Match Reaction vs Crystal Palace (away).

I hope the club are doing everything they can to keep Sagna. He had an awful few months last year where for the first time in about 5 years he didn't look committed and made far too many mistakes which ended up costing us, but in the last 10 months or so he's back to being the best RB in the league. Unless we are going to bring in a truly top quality RB, we just cannot afford for him to go on a free to Man City or PSG or wherever. The talk is that we're offering a 1 year contract and he wants 3 years. He's only 30, and more importantly he looks to have physically recovered from the two broken legs. Show him the money.

Even if he slows down, we can move him towards the center. MUST KEEP! Besides I think he is the oldest squad player at Arsenal. We need experienced heads in the dressing room. I can see all top teams coming in for his services.

Isn't arteta older? But we have to keep. He can teach the youngsters to defend plus he can play two positions.

Had hoped Wumger wouldnt see the need to play 2 dm's against cannon fodder like we did against Norwich. Our 4 defenders are good enough to deal with whatever they had & the quality of our midfield will mean they will be told to play deep & not attack to much. When we do this the 4 attacking players all have to be on their games otherwise it gets scrappy like Sat. I think the Napoli performance has gone to Wumgers head & he thinks its the only way to play. Against teams that are going to "park the bus" we should adopt what Rodgers is doing at Liverpool & play 3 at the back. This will mean that we won't have to drop one of our midfield maestros when Walcott returns, we simply put him upfront with Giroud. We'll see the best of Ozil when he has Walcott's pace uptop. Going to be very interesting tactically at the weekend - hope Wumgers up for it.

I didn't watch the game live as I didn't feel like going into a pub to watch the BT sports channel, think i was still feeling pretty raw from the Dortmund game to be honest....i always take defeat badly when i feel that we don't deserve to lose.

It makes it even worse when you have to watch the highlights on Match of the Day, it comes to something about what a self-satisfied prat Hansen is who no longer has any meaningful or insightful comments to make about the game that i agreed with Robbie Savage of all people over him....i think at this moment in time i would rather face a strike force of Rooney and Van Persie than Sturridge and Suarez....i think in terms of raw pace and link up play between them the Liverpool strike force is a more effective one.
And then Hansen tries to make this point about us not retaining enough cover from offensive set pieces by using the example of a game against Everton almost four years ago, like it's a key undermining flaw that will mean mean we can't win the title than a bit of tactical naievity that is easily addressed.....and yet Man United whom every one of their players was so easily brushed off the ball by Stoke at the weekend will obviously finish above us....i can't enjoy the program any more because i have no respect for any of the opinions of these people. Gary Neville can be biased at times, but he has been open and honest about United's problems this year and is an interesting pundit and commentator to listen to.

I thought we played poorly on Saturday, but our defence for me is far less prone to individual error than any of the teams that Hansen thinks is miles better than ours.

How did so many people not know BT Sports was free-to-air for our game? BT Sports can't even give it away.

Anybody else slightly concerned with our recent dip in form what with the Liverpool and Man United games coming up? Southampton Home won't be easy either, they are a very good team.

I dunno, maybe it's fatigue, but or last couple of performances have worried me a bit.

"He's not Bergkamp, he's not Ian Wright"

Yep, hilarious. Scores way more goals than that Bergkamp ever did.

And why are we pretending that red card was controversial? All Chamakh would have had to do was square the ball to the man running freely in the centre and it was a sitter. Comical that Arteta was effectively left 2 on 1. These need to sharpen up.
