Match Reaction: ARSENAL 0-0 lpool

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I dunno why he has benched the OX for the last 2 games, it is pure idiocy. He was man of the match against Chelsea and was our best player aainst West Ham so it is mind boggling why he has been benched. Yes he does give the ball away in dagerous positions at times but so does Ramsay.

Wenger just loves Ramsey and seems intent on playing him anywhere even if means fielding an unballanced team. Liverpool's LB is their weak link, he was skinned as soon as the OX came on but most of fans on here knew that before the game and called for him to start, the manager had other ideas however and then he has the nerve to come on tv after the game and say we lacked sharpness and speed in the final third.

The Ox is going to need to be pretty productive going forward if he insists on giving the ball away at such crucial times regularly. He doesn't have Wenger's total trust yet, though neither does Theo. Ramsey is notflawless but he had a season where he pretty much had the best defensive stats in the league as well as attacking so he earned a level of trust from the manager back then.

Gabriel is good but he could have given a pen away and will next time if he isn't careful and as much as I appreciate the cynicism, I thought his yellow was unnecessary. Harry the opposition but release him before the ref looks at you and sees a clear foul!

I agree on the point about OX giving the ball away but he's not on his own. Half our problem is that the style Wenger wants to play needs quality players in all positions. On bad apple ruins a lot of attacks. The problem we have is that only Ozil, out of all the attacking players we have, seems to play the correct weight of pass, at the correct height, to the correct person - most of the time. Sanchez, Ox, Walcott, Giroud, Coq & Rambo are actually very limited when to comes to passing. Santi is better but he also slips quite a few poor ones in every game. The only other player anywhere near Ozil is Arteta but he's too weak, slow & negative, to be in the team.
It would therefore suggest we're sort of wasting our time with so much tippy tappy unless we're going to go out & buy a few Iniesta's & Xavi's.

All out tippy tappy needs to be given time to work. It has only been a decade so far, I don't understand why the fans can't be more patient.

What have you guys done to Letters, can't find him anywhere. Hope you extremists haven't driven him off this site. 😕

He's scouting in Napoli.

ah, so he may bring back one of maradona's many illegitimate spawn ....hopefully one that's good at kicking a ball

Cockface twat Gary 'the cockface twat' Neville has let being right ONCE go straight to his head. Now he's having a go at Ozil and Alexis. What a cockface twat he is.

Doesn't matter how a player plays, these fuckturds masquerading as impartial commentators have their favourites and their pet hates and their bias runs riot. Where's his analysis of the so far anonymous Azzah, for example?

[Penguin]

They lack responsibility for the players behind them? What does that even mean?

Also regarding Ox, he does have a bad habit of losing the ball in dangerous positions and costing us goals. Someone just needs to take him to the side and tell him when and where NOT to take risks - play it safe and simple until he gets to the final third. When he gets there let him do what he's been doing. He's often our most dangerous player because he's direct and takes risks when most of our players would go for a safe sideways or backwards pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I really can't understand what the hell 'power' or the lack of it had to do with Monday night. He's obsessed.

I'm sure I saw him on that documentary on Monday night - Muslim Drag Queens.
