We should have swapped out Giroud a month ago. He has totally lost his way again. Sanchez is looking in bad shape. Ramsey can't hit a barn door at the moment. Ozil isn't getting many chances on goal..Wenger has to change things around. Welbeck is looking pretty sharp and it may be worth giving him a shot up front. We can't just keep trying with the same line up and hoping for the best.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
Bring Campbell back into the fold too
do something different
Welbeck looks hungry so it's worth giving him a shot, but then again admirably running around a lot is a trait of his. I'm not sure if he's ever going to be a 20+ striker.
Basically it all smells of wee right now. I don't understand how Wenger has managed to create a team that not only struggle to construct meaningful play, but also lack a killer instinct infront of goal. "YOU ARE ALLOWED TO FUCKING SHOOT" was what the bloke near me kept shouting tonight.
WUMger has become far too pragmatic in his old age, he knows he limitations of his team but just rolls with it.
I'd settle for one that can score 10!
Why? We've been doing it for 10 years. Maybe next time it will be better.

He might not get 20 but he can run with a ball without club footing it 50 yards ahead of him and he's showing confidence. The way the team is passing and shooting right now any small advantage would be appreciated. And tell Campbell you are allowed to shoot. Or Elneny. Where are they now?Welbeck looks hungry so it's worth giving him a shot, but then again admirably running around a lot is a trait of his. I'm not sure if he's ever going to be a 20+ striker.

He's a self-fulfilling fuck-up. He only got the tactics right tonight because he's removed any element that would have given him a choice. Of course if you scrape the bargain bucket for players to fill key positions then you will come off worse when you are on a pitch with Suarez, the guy he wanted to pay the release clause plus a quid for. Doesn't that just sum Wenger up so perfectly? +£1, there's probably a rule that states transfer bids must be rounded to the nearest pound otherwise he'd have offered just the extra penny. And the guy he thought was only worth the extra quid has 40+ goals. Where would we be today with those 40 goals - for a player that had already done the business in the PL FFS!? What now for an extra £10mill tagged onto that Suarez bid?It's crazy. We did our homework for this one and he knew what to expect from Barca and this type of game but he made some silly decisions. Giroud was never a fit for this or game or the tactics we were going with. Ox has no end product. Doesn't assist or score but he gets the start. Ox was obviously injured but he kept him on for the 2nd half and that could have costs us when Neymar broke down the right to have a shot on goal.
We looked to have Barca rattled with the early subs we made but he then decides to sub off Coquelin for Flamini? Why?Plus why wasn't Elmo on the bench and how comes he's not getting games at all?
We had a good chance to get something from tonight. Players have themselves to blame in certain areas but I really don't know what Wenger was expecting with that team selection.
The super irritating thing is even with all Wenger's many, many fuck-ups the team showed a bit of discipline tonight and stuck to the task. And with a finisher up top there's nothing to say we couldn't be heading off to Spain next month with a couple of goals advantage. We made some good chances. But there's always a Wenger roadblock or pitfall waiting. Exactly, his genius move tonight was to use the pace of Giroud in our counter-attacking set up. A real master stroke, or maybe just the result of a stroke. So it doesn't really matter how much the players give, Wenger can do things that will nullify their best efforts. Not deliberately of course, but through sheer incompetence. And the the Flamini thing. When do we call the doctor on this guy? If you see your granddad wandering in traffic with a glazed expression you move him into your home or find him somewhere to live where there are people watching out for him. At Arsenal the senile old fool gets to direct the fucking traffic. It's absurd.

The Giroud/Alba incident again
vid: https://streamable.com/s/soccer?first=9kv6
What a diving pussio midget cunt. Giroud should've just punched him and got red carded, would've been more useful off the pitch
Flamini basically gave a pen away before he managed to touch the ball when he came on.....
Just stop with this now peeerlease...... Gordon bloody Bennett!
Flamini has become WUMger's finest WUM.
We all wondered whether he had something special up his sleeve and he has really delivered.
Not sure he'll outdo himself here.
