Merts just wide. HT. Up the pace in the second half and we'll get 2 or 3. Keep fucking around and we risk one of those snatch and grabs.

Lethargic and laboured.
We're going to struggle in the second half - just like the first half.
No game changers on the bench either.
Hope a moment of brilliance can clinch it.
that too and I get what you are saying, but I really think when we break or space opens up they need to be more direct sometimes and offer a real attacking alternative to always sending the ball wide
they can have a much bigger impact on the game, theo, gerv, arsh (oh),rvp are not always going to be on form and it is important to get a contribution from central mid
it certainly feels like everyone is waiting for RVP to score .....
Theo the best player on the pitch.
Most of the others need to wake up and inject some urgency into the play.
Another lethargic performance devoid of any creative spark whatsoever. The fact that Fulham made more passes than us 43 minutes in speaks volumes. How many times in the last 10 years has an away side had more completed passes than us, especially a non top-4 team? This just shows how inferior our midfield is compared to the recent past. How Wenger has allowed this to happen is astounding.
Fulham working to slow down pace, we are obliging by playing in 2nd gear. Vermaelen hasn't looked good. Santos stood out so far . Arteta and Song in control in the middle. Djorou surprisingly good.The rest showing us usual ability without standing out
Joker - serious question: do you ever use your brain and 'think'?
If this fact is true, count the passes made by Schwartzer, Senderos and Hangeland....they are passing it around their area, wasting-time, waiting for Van Persie or Ramsey to close them down before launching it up field. They have little intention of going forward and are playing for a 0-0 or a smash and grab. It says nothing about our midfield.
What does say something is that our players aren't showing enough movement...which, I guess, was to be expected with Arshavin on the pitch. Van Persie looks tired as does most of the team...doesn't look good - I thought we needed that early goal but Ramsey blazed over.
Our midfield is seriously not good enough at the moment. Arteta has been barely visible AGAIN.
