Arteta's looking next to useless again today. We needed a top quality replacement for Cesc, not a mediocre facsimile.
Awesome for the first 25 mins or so. Best football of the season. RVP.
Didn't really hammer home the advantage our play demanded.
Concede a wondergoal.
Fall to bits at the back.
Could be losing if not for Chesney being fucking awesome.
Just another day at the Arsenal.
For all you out there, this aint just about Wenger. . . . .
Apart from the first 20 minutes, Sunderland have edged this game, which shows how shite we've become, given that we're playing against a side who are in even worse form than us and in terms of quality, are a mediocre side.
How much longer can fans keep up the mantra of "In Wenger we trust"? Wenger has ruined this squad, and unless we start venting our anger at the situation, change won't happen.
Yep Artetas turning out to be the mother of all panic buys
Mata? Nope
Cazorla? Nope
Any top class replacement for the fulcrum of the team? Nope
Well here's the result
"what it means to be human - to be featherless, two-legged, linguistically conscious creatures
born between urine and faeces whose bodies will one day be the culinary delight of terrestrial worms.."
Bit unlucky to be losing IMO. You make your own luck and all that, but Van Persie's effort that hit the inside of the post and bounced across goal...that's just pure bad luck.
As Alan Smith said towards the end of the half - the experienced players must be demanding the ball at this stage and looking to charge forward. I only see Rosicky doing that after the goal. Arteta's mistake to give away the free-kick is not acceptable for a player with that much experience.
Jenkinson is not crap, at least not by our standards. He's inexperienced - big difference. But he already provides us with more than the pampered flops we have on high wages. One of whom is Theo Walcott who is a shadow of the player who joined us and has gone backwards in his development to the point of being a passenger in every game he plays. Another dreadful half from him, it's like we've been playing with 10.
We still should have been 2-3 nil up though, but we've managed to convert that to a 1-1, which is normal for us.
RvP is a cut above anything else we have. Gervinho lively but ultimately doesn't have the quality. Rosicky playing better than Arteta who has been surprisingly careless. Song doing well, probably our best player after RvP.
The defence continues to frighten the shit out of everyone as soon as the ball comes their way. Very disorganised and undisciplined. Cheseney has made a crucial save but he's only had a moderate game, making a couple of mistakes that could have cost us.
Don't know who's on the bench but Ox for Theo is a no-brainer, otherwise Arshavin on and Theo onto the transfer list unless he decides to put even the minimal effort into earning his money.
