Arsenal v Chelsea Match Reaction

[Alpha]

Bloody hell!. There is really an alternate universe out there. Which big game has Walnutt scored in lately?

Hummmmmmm . Walcott has scored a few times against Chelsea. He lately scored a screamer against City. Isn't that enough to convince you he can score in a big game? I know his form has recently been awful but we can not deny he can score goals when he has a real chance.

Theo has 3 goals this season. He's on target to get about 6 for the year. Let's not turn him into something he's not - a goal scorer. The poor kid needs 20 odd chances before he can stick the thing in the net. He must be one of the most profligate marksmen we've ever had at the club.

Koscielny I believe has scored more goals than Walnutt this season. We might as well have put him up top.

Yes I do blame Wenger, in fact I blamed him for today's catastrophe about 6 weeks ago when I said it was beyond comprehension how Mertesacker gets into the team when we have a real defender sat on the bench. Wenger picks the team. He also picked Flamini and Ramsey in the middle having seen that fail badly against Liverpool and Stoke. An absent midfield leaves space and puts added pressure on the back four. You couple those gaping spaces with Mertesacker's total inability to deal with the pace of slow coach Costa and you reach a predictable outcome. For £8mill the manager should be up to speed on these sort of things. His fault.

Well , the combo Flamini-Ramsey is the best we have because of Carzola and Coquelin injuries . So if you were the coach who could you pick instead ? New guy Elneny and the inexperienced Chambers ? Metersacker is a slow defender but he can read the game well and bring stability to our defence .
Koscielny and Gabriel look to be the same type of players . Central defendres must be different to compensate their abilities .

Basically he has taken Gervinho` slot in our team as waster in chief. I great goal a season and half a dozen others. Name me 1 game where the only goal that won us the match was scored by Walcott.

We did at the end, just to add to the farce.

He has better record than anyone else when it comes to scoring against Chelsea and if we're being totally honest, he would have had an assist if Campbell would have made better contact with that first chance on goal we had.

He looked bright, so did Bif but we had a sending off that just skewed the game totally. Wenger didn't help with his tactics or subs. I can sort of understand taking off Bif, but then again, he's our top goal scorer. Which other club does that? Also, I don't understand why he takes off Walcott at 75 mins every game. He's a player that has quiet moments but may pop up with a goal. Chasing the game, I don't see how we're going to score with Bif, Campbell and Walcott off the pitch. Crazy stuff from Wenger.

No surprises here, Chelsea beat us again, a Chelsea side struggling for results this season still come here and beat us at home, this is really embarrassing and proves we lack the bottle and the collapse we always see is happening again.

People have laughed, taken the p*ss and ignored the obvious signs like they always do, but once again, just as we've seen consistently over the last 10 years, we collapse when well placed, how many times dot his have to happen before people actually wake up and smell the coffee?

I noticed some people were the p*ss the other day when Man City were playing the other day, nice one

A decent team would walk this league, teams are literally trying to hand the title to us and still we bottle it....what's left to say?

Mertersacker is an oaf who should be nowhere near a club of our stature, but to be fair Chelsea should have been 2-0 up at least as they had a certain penalty denied today, so looks like the refs helped us out today in some way.

We're not winning the title,, never believed we would, why would we with a man like Wenger in charge, he's borderline incompetent and should have gone years ago, but somehow we still find ourselves in the same situation.

Disappointing but not surprising, it's never going to change.

Wenger shown up again. He's clueless and it's a sin he's pulling down so much cash for fucking up for the last decade.

Spot on, the signs were there in that Liverpool game, but as usual people joked and took the p*ss and pretended it was a good result, 2 games later we see the impact of sh*te like this, another collapse, an embarrassing result against a team who can barely string two wins together and yet they've done the double over us this season.

Another job well done Wenger

Koscielny has scored 3 goals which is a good statistic for a defender. walcott has scored just 5. Not bad for a winger but he should have had more. But in a real world , if you need a goal, you gamble on a striker than a defender.
