Match Reaction - Arsenal 0-2 West Ham

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger. That is all.

[adzzzbatch]

Shit from all concerned, especially Cech.

[Marc Overmars]

Thank you for making me feel like an absolute mug Arsenal.

Again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tears it endeth.

[AFC Leveller]

Horrible start to the season, horrible mistakes by Cech and the team lacked ideas energy and drive.

this is a very eazrly reminder that this team can still fuck up at any given moment and it is not ready to mount a serious challenge.

[Ernesto]

What. On. Earth.

Expect a justified backlash on arsenal fan TV, the forums, etc. Signing justone aging goalkeeper in the close season is shocking.

The one slight silver lining we might have is that this shuts up all those who have us as favourites to win the league.

[Kano]

We should be grateful that we've had our optimism absolutely shat on at the very start. Get rid of foolish title hope and settle down for our perineal top four scrap out.

We've got a whole season of the same old shit to come. Hopefully our scouts have a replacement lined up for Sanchez at the end of this season because he isn't hanging around for more of this.

The team bought into their own hype and took West Ham for granted, who were brilliantly drilled and fit enough to close us down every time we were on the ball. There was a reason Cech lost his place at Chelsea and we've been reminded of why very quickly.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Whatever the mistakes by Cech, this was a result of tactical deficiency.

We conceded the first goal on nine ocassions last season, only once did we come back to win against a manager less Crystal Palace.

We don't have the players or the tactical nous from the manager to play the expansive football we want, West Ham were always going to make us play in front of them and look to take any chance from set pieces or counter. They deserved to win and Slaven Bilic saw us coming a mile off, predictable.

[PGFC]

lol...Wenger does it on purpose, just to upset GW.

[Dein-machine]

All this against a team with a cb at right back & a 16 year making his debut in midfield - Wengers tactical ability is beyond a joke.
