Shite.
No problem beating the dregs of the league but tend to come a cropper in the more robust fixtures. Flat track bullies, that's us. You only have to see the fixtures we've dropped points in to know this.
City are horrific right now and we really need to go there and do a number on them. After tonight though I fear another charitable donation in helping a struggling team find their way again.

Ozil missed a sitter indeed (like Xhaka did a few games ago with the header) and had Theo or Iwobi missed it they'd be getting far more stick. Thought Xhaka and Coq were poor and that Gabriel was actually one of our better players.
I cant believe we lost to this Everton side, i really cant. They had won 1 game in 10 and looked all over the place and short of confidence but we went to sleep after we scored and slowly invited them back into the game. The game was a bit like the West ham game, us against a side struggling to win and we should have hammered them. Ozil tonight looked off the pace, he not only missed a sitter but the way he ducked out of the way for their 2nd goal showed he wasnt in it today. The last 5 minutes was how we should have played from the start, balls into the box, quick play and a bit more width.
Koeman is such a cunt with his "this is the third time i beat Arsenal as a home manager" comments. Yesterday the loss was down to us rather than the opposition and once again we rescue a struggling side and get them back on track.
Now we HAVE to win at City.
Disappointing. You're going to get days like this though.
It remains to be seen whether it's "same old Arsenal" or they made of sterner stuff now.
City are no pushovers and then we have 2 very winnable games. Chelsea don't look like slipping up so we can't afford to lose ground.
I think a measure of this team will be how we react against City. Another defeat and it will feel like business as usual though.
Indeed. Haven't seen the game but it's meltdown central on Twitter over Ozil's defending.Originally Posted by Blink 1nce Quince 2wice

Yep, go and prove the doubters wrong. I think we are flattering to decieve but I would love to eat my words. Same old flakey Arsenal from what I see.
Are there any more decent Jerry Maguire quotes that could apply here?
Or Groundhog Day quotes?
Für eure Sicherheit
City will say a lot about where things are going head potentially. But the other question is when could a defeat of been accepted? If we'd of not lost yesterday and had done at City, familiar accusations would be thrown around. If we had not lost yesterday or at City, which would mean 16 undefeated, but then lose against West Brom, Palace or Bournemouth, would that have been acceptable? At some point we were going to lose again, because everyone does eventually and no team in this league is good enough to do so only once in a league season. One defeat in 15 games doesn't tell us about this team. The next 1-3 games will do that I think.
I do wonder sometimes if your memory gets wiped at the end of each season
Unequivocally this was same old Arsenal, once again diabolical defending and no proper marking and when teams just run at us we stand off. Reverting to tippy tappy sideways passing when the heat is on, lacking the mental strength to take our chances when they come.
Even my brother said oh well it was the referee's fault, he didn't take charge of the game. Have we not had years of experience that when we come up against teams that "rough us up" the match official is just going to ignore it. Every time are we going to just shrug our shoulders and say "what can you do?". That's your sterner stuff right there.
I repeat from last night, Wenger has squared off against Ronald Koeman Ten times before, Wenger has won once and Koeman five times.
Is that something you can just ignore, or do you think.......guys like this know how to play against us.
