DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Giroud, Welbeck, Wilshere, Elneny, Mertesacker, Debuchy and Ospina
These are all internationals, senior players who have had vast experience of top flight football
Whatever way you want to argue it, them losing to a side that is bottom of the bundesliga is totally and completely unacceptable
I actually thought Maitland Niles was good....though maybe that's because he actually showed a modicum of aggressiveness where he usually looks comatose or like he is frolicking in the good old English flower meadows in a period drama.
Nelson looked handy when he came on too, but I was left again (as I often do) wondering why professional football produces so few genuinely two footed players despite signing them barely out of nappies. I thought he should have taken his shot late on with his left but I don't want to be too critical. He'd just watched a team of internationals and players in front of him go behind against a dreadful German team.
Until the final ball, where all our players lacked composure, ambition, a sharp wit. It was the same nonsense over and over again. Either cross it to the first defender, or cross it long and have the opposite wing back run backwards to retrieve it, or try that damnable pitter patter ball through the congested centre, with the like of Wilshere running headlong into opponents. Plod, plod, plod. When we had the ball in front of their two banks of defenders every one of our players was static. Just stood there waiting for defenders to come to them. It was utterly brainless play from start to finish with a couple of exceptions where the kids you mentioned thought, fuck this, and tried something different. Of course it didn't help that the moron Wenger started Chambers as wing back. Or that he gave Bif another free pass to wander around at snail's pace all night instead of hooking him and putting that young, hungry striker on. Instead, he got a whole 5 minutes to make a difference. Wenger is, has been and will continue to be the anchor every Arsenal team has to drag around. It's his shitty tactics going on, unless the players are outright defying him and playing shit systems and shit tactics on purpose. If the latter is true then we're in bigger trouble than we thought.

That explains it. You've taken over Alpha's account now.
Nobody said anything about Messi. But it'd be nice of one of our players could cross a ball, for instance. Or not pass it to an opponent when under zero pressure. Basic stuff.
And when your complaints are ignored, don't give up. Up the volume. We need more complaints, louder, more forceful and laser targeted at the man whose European record continues to be appalling.
