    We had 11 players in the box.

    They had 4.

    They scored.

    Jeez,it's not them. Both are below top form right now but they are still solid enough. It's that turd monreal. We only have 3 at the back. That's always going to cause problems.

    Same old crap. Seven minutes to see out a result to really get the motor running on our season. Instead, we concede late (a trait under all Wenger sides) and it leaves us with more questions than answers.

    I know Ozil's playing out of position, but he can still affect the game from there. The best players do. Gerrard did it for Benitez at Liverpool a few seasons ago. Ozil isn't happy where he's playing and he's showing it with lazy, inept, ineffectual performances. This isn't a reactionary view- it's there for all the world to see. If he doesn't step up, sell him in January. If he's not part of the solution, he's part of the problem.

    I don't think I can bring myself to watch this turgid crap on match of the day tonight.

    Strange game.

    We battered City for a bit. Then they battered us. Then we went ahead and looked like going 3-1 up. Then City could have won it 2-3.

    We attacked quite well today, but it's still not all gelling together and the final ball is woeful from nearly every player at the moment. There's promise there though and when they all play more games together and most players are fit, I'm sure it will all click.

    The defence is all over the place though. Flamini offering nothing but daft fouls doesn't help either. We need to sort that out going into this tough period of games. Chambers might actually be a bit more solid than Debuchy, although I hope he's not out for long as he's been decent so far.

    Sanchez and Wilshere were superb. Welbeck did pretty well and could make a real difference with his pressing. He has to take clear chances though or he'll just be a fast Giroud and not much of an upgrade.

    Ozil should not be playing at the moment. I don't care about his tracking back, it's his basic play that is woeful. And he's not playing out of position. He's played many games there for Real Madrid and Germany and he's allowed the freedom of the pitch anyway. A player of his calibre should be able to make 5-yard passes and hold on to the ball anywhere.

    Ramsey is still out of sorts, but still made a telling contribution. It's strange because he's had a full pre-season and looked good up until the Community Shield game. At least he's still scoring or assisting during his bad patch.

    I hope he solidifies the team against Dortmund or if not, play to our strengths and attack with Ox coming in on the left.

    Clattenburg is one of the better refs. Which means his level of competency was about 25% and he was the best ref we've had in about three years. He should have sent off Milner and handed out at least 3 more yellows, but he did let a few fouls go our way too.

    Anyway, Wilshere is finished and Sanchez is a waste of £35 million and Kompany and Hart are the best in their position ever.

    Good summary, apart from the bit about not wanting to poison, skin and mince Owen.

    Oh i agree it's the full backs as well, Chambers doesn't look great at set pieces but it's something he will learn and Monreal is as you put it a "turd"
