Match reaction vs. Leicester

[Ernesto]

This mug is the BBC's chief football writer and he makes his agenda so clear. These imbeciles never learn. They think wishing for it in their weekly column makes it so.


Great reply though:

Hahaha!

That's f***in awesome. That that, McNulty!

[Chippy]

Everyone's screaming out for a striker but I still think the problem is in centre midfield. Flamini was awful today, nearly cost us the one point we got with the Yardy chance. There's no physical presence or control in the centre, the opposition can just storm straight through us. we should keep playing Sanchez upfront and soon try Walcott there, but who else can we try at defensive midfield? Chambers perhaps but it's asking a lot from such an inexperienced player.

Spot on! We have some very good players (except for San-nogoal!, fucking Sunday league player). We need a decent manager who has some tactical knowledge! Wenger is buffoon! Sanchez must be regretting his move to Arsenal!

[Ernesto]

In terms of the match, it was awful. Leicester didn't outmuscle us, didn't play dirty, didn't "let us know they were there", and yet we still put in a lethargic, pathetic end-of-season performance as if we'd already secured the title.

The display was epitomised by Yaya Sanogo. Now, I don't know if his lacklustre performances are due to limited ability or limited effort. The former is forgiveable but if it's the latter, he should kindly do one.

The major fault lies with Wenger. Podolski, à World Cup winner no less has been waiting patiently on the sidelines for the best part of 3 years. He finally gets à break (literally, in terms of Giroud's ankle) and he STILL can't make the team. Yes, he doesn't make intelligent runs as a lone striker, but are you genuinely telling me Sanogo is more likely to score à 1 on 1 than Lukas?

I'm flabbergasted.

No he signed for the Chavs

There is no way that we should have not won this game with all the chances we had......shit sorry forgot Sanogo was playing up front.....now I am one of the least anti anybody on this site apart from when I was giving Theo it in the neck but Sanogo needs to one have surgery to connect his feet to his brain because they are defo not on the same wavelength and two, be sent out on loan.

We cannot seriously go into another game without having added to the striker, CM and defence. I truly believe we need at least three more players, whether we get them is another matter but if Falcao costs 20mil to loan for a year and the deal includes salary then bloody do it. We need someone that can naturally find the back of the net.

Ramsey was a bit of a let down today as were most of the team. We lack some much pave and directness. I used to slate Walcott but we need him back do badly. To have him and Sanchez on the flanks would be great. Sanchez was the only one that worked his socks off today.....Chambers did well for the most part too.

We need Ozil as the number 10 not because Santi is shit but because Ozil is so disinterested out wide. He needs to be in the thick if things. Santi can play better out wide or provide an impact as a sub! I didn't think Flams was that bad but his lunge towards the end when he should have stood up almost cost us.....not long to go before TW closes and Wenger needs to pull out some masterstrokes

Falcao
Carvalho
Papa Smurf

Very poor. I do think that potentially this could be a very good side. We do need more up front but with the players we've got we should be full of goals. There's little evidence of that so far. We've just not got going yet but so far we've got away with it, this was the first really poor result and we've not been beaten yet. With the games coming up though we've got to do better.

Falcao - £30mill for 1 year then he's off to Madrid, £5mill wages saved by Podolski going out, plus fee of say £10mill. Real cost for 1 year, £15mill - could recoup instantly if he scored the winning goal to put us into last 4 of CL.

Carvalho - £24mill + £4mill wages*

Papa Smurf - £16mill + £3mill wages

Less £1 for selling Sanogo to glue factory

Total outlay: $61,999,999

Probability of it happening: 0%

You can't be full of goals when you have Sanogo in the box, because it means you don't have somebody else in the box. Plus with all his offsides and giving the ball away etc, he's the most affective thing the opposition has in nullifying our goal threat.
