Match Reaction VS Spuds

[Marc Overmars]

A season without a win over Spurs is just sick.

Their late goal at our place

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck.

[Master Splinter]

Bad day all round. Bad selection, bad performances, bad decisions, bad reactions.

Not that Ozil was the worst performer today, but if we were going for a containing and breaking approach then surely Rosicky and Walcott were better options. But now that WUMger's favourites are back the team will suffer. Cazorla saved his worst performance for three months for today and Ramsey was almost as bad. Only Coquelin of the front six played well and he was let down by the carelessness and idiocy of all those around him. No change to the plan or personnel either as the game got out of our control, so the only hope was for some individual brilliance. But considering we hardly got the ball or gave it away at every opportunity, there was little chance of that happening.

None of his decisions were directly costly for us, but Atkinson was just shocking. Every first foul by an Arsenal player was a booking while Spurs were getting away with hundreds of fouls, dives and pulls in the box. Not to mention giving them goal kicks for corners.

We could have overcome Atkinson and Spurs though, if he'd picked a more suitable team for the situation and had a better than 23% passing accuracy.

With Ozil, Welbeck and Wilshere soon back, players like Oxlade, Cazorla and Walcott and probably even Coquelin will have to face up to being dropped for playing well and making us a more effective outfit. Chambers back to RB permanently too probably.

Momentum well and truly destroyed again. Maximum points and a healthy goal difference should be the minimum from the upcoming run of fixtures now.

agree with every word.

i too thought the ref was shocking. just seems to favour them on all those 50 50s and punished us at every opportunity.

Wenger reckons we put so much effort in. Didn't spot it myself, but good to know.

He knows best

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh well, for us it's just another Wenger moment. For the spudlings it's their cup final and world title and wedding day and the birth of their first child.

Because Wenger is Wenger we'll still push them out of the top 4. Same old same.

[Power n Glory]

Meh....it's not a shock. This is what we do. The recent run was a total fluke for Wenger. He stumbled upon a winning combination and now he's finding a way to fuck things up as players come back from injury.

[Ralpheroo72]

Didn't turn up, no urgency, manager may as well have been at a café down the road. Players couldn't string a pass together, sp*rs just bided their time. 3 more years of this shit lads.
