Match Mehaction: Watford 2 Arsenal 1

[Globalgunner]

I got this from another website. Apparently more of the blame for the winner can be ascribed to another player just watching Cleverly take his shot. More Wengerisation on display?
Just watched MOTD....try watch it if you haven't seen it. Cleverley must be standing, not running, not walking, standing, on the penalty spot for about 10 seconds while Xhaka is standing directly behind him on the edge of the box watching the play.....the ball rolls loose to Cleverley, standing completely unmarked...and BANG, 2-1

Murphy and Wrighty commenting on it saying Xhaka is NOT a holding midfielder and has no sense of danger.

Danny Drinkwater went to Chelsea and cant get a game. He would have improved our midfield and he is bang average.

Xhaka is a sloth. Not a Premier League player at all.

Alonso and Scholes are probably the 2 best players of this kind the league has ever seen and Xhaka isn’t even a fraction as good.

If you watch as the second goal goes in, two fans behind the goal are eating crisps. Everyone knows how distracting that can be when you are trying to concentrate. And, predictably, we concede. Hopefully these greedy, selfish bastards won't be losing us any more games this season.

I feel quite sorry for anyone trying to play football with Wenger calling the shots. I'm sure none of our players (now that Sanogo has gone) are as bad as they appear to be, week in, week out. Can't pass, can't shoot, can't cross, too afraid to head a ball... this all comes from hours of work on the training ground ruled over by our resident Clouseau.

Its pretty obvious to me that the great team we had 98-2004 must had been great because the players were deliberately ignoring him. Henry Vieira, Keown, Freddie, Pires Campbell and co. They must have been laughing at him and doing the exact opposite.

Poor Arsene, he must have been stewing inside. This must be his revenge, doing it his way......of course now stubbornly refusing to change. Because a man cannot have lucked on a formula that worked and then deliberately decided to change it to one that doesn't work. It probably means the original formula wasn't his creation at all.

Montezumas revenge has nothing on Wengers ire.

No wonder he sold them all in the space of 2 years.

Iwobi should have buried it. It was a very poor effort. As was Ozil's. But not as bad as Wenger's team selection, or his tactics (for want of a better word), or his crazed substitutions, or his inability to influence anything from the sidelines. He's getting away with another horror show while everyone focuses on a player missing a chance. The fact is, Wenger has zero away wins so far this season and at a club like Arsenal that's totally unacceptable. It's an enduring and growing disgrace he still has a job.

I thought Ozil's chance was easily worse than Iwobi's and the 2 players aren't supposed to be in the same class.

The focus has been pretty well spread between our missed chances, the ineptitude of the ref, a brilliantly executed dive that low and fuhking behold the diving panel have dismissed and Wenger's continued failure as a manager.

Even if 100% of the focus was on Wenger we all know he's here for two more painful years now.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I've kind of just lost any real hope for Xhaka already despite his manager's lack of personal instruction or coercion. It's not a one off anymore. He can literally do one thing well and that's when he feels like it and is on his game. Horrific waste of more money.

Unless the fans begin and maintain a relentless campaign to get him out. If, no matter what's happening, even if we are winning 6-0, all that can be heard is Wenger Out, surely the bloke would leave?

Although, no, he probably wouldn't.

Wenger always respects his contracts...as he likes to say. The 2 places he left in a hurry, he was sacked. He did not resign. Even if we are relegated, he will feel duty bound to gain us promotion.

Who do you have any hope for in this team? Wenger has killed them all. Not one of them can string a consistent set of appearances together. Not always individual's faults, you could say Monreal has been consistent, maybe Kolasinac too. But they are still part of an inept defence. Lacazette is already well on the way to being ruined. A prolific goalscorer who cost 50 mill and can't even get a pass, let alone a full 90 minutes. Soon he'll give up running and save his energy for his next team. Theo Walcott - what's the point. The Messiah Jack, we all know what disappointment awaits once he is unleashed. Kos, Mustafi, Cech, Ramsey, any of them, none of them you'd back to have a consistent season. The whole set up is a shambles. It's unbelievable really. And equivalent would be some daft, clueless bint being put in charge of the country, which would never happen.
