Giroud![]()
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.
We were shocking but funny in the end.
Feck it, bring on Bournemouth. Not arsed about the PSG game really.
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott, speaking to Sky Sports:
"I think we maybe deserved more based on our first half performance but they came at us in the second half and maybe a draw was a fair result.'
Did he watch the same match as us?
Woeful performance but we at least we didn't lose. Giroud did what he does best. Great header! Good cameo from Ox considering his last performance. He really needs to find some consistency because there is an opening on the left wing if he shows he's capable. Good performance from Cech and Kos as well. Sanchez and Theo were ok. The effort was there but still below par for the pair.
It was woeful stuff from everyone else. Jenks just wasn't overlapping so that had a knock on effect to our attacks down the right. A few occasions we'd see a break on down that side and player expecting to see the overlap with Jenks nowhere to be found. Monreal had bad game as well. Caught sleeping for the goal and almost gave away a penalty.
Over on the over flank, Ramsey was woeful. He'd lose the ball with bad touches, poor passing or just run into his opponent for it to go out of play. We really missed Iwobi. Not being able to play down that left side really messed with our game.
Elneny and Coquelin really struggled. Elneny needs to toughen up and muscle players off the ball more. Coq made a shit load of tackles but needs to step up his distribution. Both of them need to put more pressure on our opponents and not give away so much space. They could have snuffed out the were paying attention.
Ozil was pretty shit. I keep saying it, but he's capable of so much more and we've seen it this season. He can do more than just pass and today we could have done with him dropping back to help the build up play. We're going to struggle in the midfield without Santi.
Good subs from Wenger because they go us the point but his record here is pretty shocking. No idea why we played so badly. Mental block? A good majority of these guys have hardly played this sort of fixture.
