Cazorla hauled off.

Cazorla hauled off for Flamini.

Excuses for Wenger:

1. Nobody could have predicted Bif would kill our threat up front with his lack of pace.
2. Nobody could have predicted Debucy and Merts on the right with Campbell ahead would have given us so many problems and the spuds so many opportunities.
3. Nobody could have predicted Cazorla could be bullied out of the game in an agricultural midfield tussle.

I think we should keep things the same in the second half. Wait until the 70th minute and then make the obvious substitution and nick a point, thereby blowing our chance to go top. If we just persist with something that's not working maybe it will suddenly start working.

We could also just do what we normally do when the manager has fucked up again. Hope that Alexis or Ozil can conjure up some magic and the second tier striker Bif can deflect one in off his backside.

Woeful performance. Cazorla has been shocking and should be off. Giroud has been poor but I'm not surprised. He may still pub one in. Kos needs a slap and I don't know why we are playing a highline.

He's got Gabriel and Gibbs on the bench and the slow-arse oil tanker Merts on the pitch. The difference between a defender like Gabriel getting to the ball and getting a challenge and and Merts lumbering across to cover thereby giving the spuds time to bring men into play is huge. Wenger won't spot that until around March and then he'll act decisively by dropping Kos.

[Marc Overmars]

Flamini and Coq in midfield.

What a pairing.

[Master Splinter]

For once, WUMger has reacted.

But Flamini going up front leaves Coquelin to do it all on his own again.

Cazorla must have been carrying an injury.

[Power n Glory]

Come on Flamini. Cazorla subbed. Good.

[Maestro]

I'd take the draw now - in fact I'd pay money for it.

That's the most disappointing part of it all, a draw looks a good result all of a sudden after that first half. It's a derby and we're home, a win will send us top ......we play shit, give spurs the initiative and will ultimately be happy to get a draw and not get spanked.

Scary part is the more we pour forward the easier it is for spurs tactically. Really need to win this game, oh well meh. What can you do.

News just in, wow ,Wenget proactive and brought Flamini on for poor Carzola

[Özim]

Flamini for Cazorla, hardly inspiring the guy is sh*t.
