Match Reaction v Fulham

[Marc Overmars]

Next game is Swansea away.

Expect a similar game there as well.

Only question is whether we've manned up up front.

[selassie]

Better question is whether anyone still expects Champions league football next season

I dunno, Chelsea are pretty hopeless and Liverpool very unpredictable but I expect both of them to buy *proper players* in the January Window. I personally think if we stick as we are don't do any substantial business then we'll be on Channel 5 next season plying our trade in the Europa League minus RVP. I know we have Jack & Sagna to come back but that won't save us offensively.

As it stands I think if we make top 4 it would be a bonus, I'm not expecting it.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

From Cesc Wilshire Song who bare in mind won fuck all, we now have Ramsey Arteta and Song......fcuk me

Be fair Jack has been injured

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Fulham derseved their win, they fought, we faded end off.

Football is 90 mins not 60.

Wenger needs to buy in jan because if not we will see more games like this.

Just seen Fulhams 2nd again

Harsh on Squillaci, Had to contend with 2 Fulham players and the fact he even won the header is a minor miracle. Unfortunate it went straight to Zamora.

First goal, Rosicky let Sidwell go and Sdsfhskdjhny does what he does best and we concede.

Cant blame Squid for the second. Coquelin failed to get back

[Ernesto]

The same ManYoo who just lost to Blackburn at home?

Meh, it was a crap performance and a crap result. It happens.

Man, it's just frustrating when we're making the same mistakes over and over again, season after season. Yes, it was a crap performance, fair enough. But, by all intents and purposes, Chelsea played crap today, too. They got three points.

When you're holding a 0-1 lead and you're Arsenal you should be able to hold it with 7 minutes to go, unless you're playing teams of impeccable standard.

[LDG]

Didn't see the game so can't comment on performances.From what I am reading, we're missing fullbacks like Letters misses cake. Yes, Theo and gerb seem to be spurning chances, and yes, we seem to have no options off the bench. Why AOC isn't being used is a mystery....perhaps down to appearance clauses in the fee?? In any case, the width we get from fullbacks supporting the attack and pushing teams back is badly missed. We've been incredibly unlucky AGAIN in the injury department.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That's the sort of think I'd expect from Zimm...

TBF he is right though. Poor defending from merts there.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Taking off Gervinho and Walcott - meant Fulham could afford to press - there was no threat of pace - regardless as to how shit Walcott and Gervinho played - their pace is a threat to defenders. Djourou was totally naive - no one else to blame and the fact that Wenger took off Ramsey and put on Squillacci gave the green light for fulham to go all out for the win. And yes it was Squillacci who couldn't clear his lines and allowed the cross to zamora. I swear if I see squillacci near an arsenal shirt again I will lose the plot.
Our worst performance of 2012. Can only get better..right?

[Joker]

Absolutely no idea. Does fuck all. Rosicky, Arshavin, Chamakh, Squillaci, Fabianski, Park. 6 players who aren't good enough for Blackburn

Exactly, it's unbelievable that Wenger has assembled a squad with such utter garbage sprinkled liberally throughout it. We had the whole summer to get rid of the deadwood, and replace them with better quality. Instead, we lost some of our first team players and failed to replace them properly, and we didn't get rid of the turds making up the rest of the squad. Wenger has to take responsibility for that.
