We could have had Vorm, Graham and Dyer in our team and would have won that game today. Think we missed GEV badly today he beats players we had no one who did that today.

Theo for me is annoying me the guy goes on about how he should ger 85K a week but performs poor miind you know our board/manager he will get it.

Gervinho's end product hasn't quite happened but he beats players every time with his trickery and quick feet. Hopefully his end product will magically appear when he returns. Vorm is an excellent keeper, Graham can finish with aplomb and Dyer too. I also rate Sinclair who I remember from his Chelsea days. I really don't think Walcott is planning to stay with us beyond this season and has probably been tapped up by Man $ity already. He really doesn't play for the shirt or look like there is any passion. He rarely puts in a shift for a full 70 minutes let alone 90 and it's so disappointing. Too much too young and not a natural footballing brain so the coaching of him seems to have backfired. Lennon and Ashley Young are a hundred times better and should both be ahead of him in the Euros if that's what he's saving himself for.

yep can't disagree 1 bit

[Alpha]

Yeah, one of the highest rated prospects in Europe.

Until he joined Arsenal.

Unfortunately his injuries didn't help and Wenger willingness not to replace good players who leave make it hard . But ,once upon a time there was a great player called Tomas Rosicky .....

[Coney]

Cool, I've wanted to know the answer to that for ages.

np. You only had to ask.

A disappointing game but not an entirely surprising one. There has obviously been a lack of quality for some time. We were out-passed by Swansea and we'll get outplayed by many teams by the end of this season. We have lost the resilience that we admired when we had Jenkinson and Santos bombing forward in attack and Vermaelen, Koscielny at the back twatting everything clear. Ramsey, Song and Arteta have slowly faded out of form. Gervinho appears to be the Chamakh of this season - a bright spark initially but failed to continue and now his confidence is in tatters. Walcott hasn't grown up. It has been very frustrating to see the rebuilding done after the disastrous start get shattered quite subtly.

Despite how the media keep portraying us, we are not a technically gifted team any more. And I'm ok with that. It was quite clear even Swansea are at least similar in terms of ability. But the thing that most observers will underrate is the value of confidence. Sinclair etc. are able to link up well because they're confident they'll link up well. When Arshavin, Van Persie, Walcott, Ramsey, Song etc. had the ball in attacking areas, they didn't look comfortable and they didn't look certain with their movement. Everything is always very wishy-washy, ad-hoc and confusing. This is simply bad management. The players are just not prepared right now.

This is a condition that has been a long time in the making. I have long switched off Wenger because his deficiencies are so obvious. He is agood but not great manager who has had the luck of finding himself in the ideal place where his delusions of self granduer are indulged and nourished. He will NEVER achieved great things. A man who had a collection of unique talents such as his team of 2004, Henry, Bergy, Vieira, Pires, campbell, mad German goalie, etc and could not win the big prize cannot be expected to do anything with the dross on show today. He cannot motivate players to be better than they currently are and does not instill the needed warrior spirit in less motivated teams. If we didnt have Keown,Campbell and Paddy to instil the needed drive in those teams they would not even have done the deeds they did then. We have the perfect storm of a incapable manager, inadequate players and unambitious board. I used to get myself worked up faff around pretending to have invented a new way of playing football. the fear is that the few genuine talents we do have Sagna, Verm, Chesney, Van Persie will seek pastures new and then we will really be in the proverbial shit creek. Arsene knows nothing and we should stop deluding ourselves. We are fast becoming a joke pity is it just aint funny no more

Didnt watch the game

Just read the report

Ramsey had another shocker then?

Does him breaking his leg in a couple of years ago still give him leeway for certain people?

Defence is awful. Time Kos was put down

[Cripps_orig]

LWDWLL.

4th place? You're having a laugh.

Yeah but we're on a good run cos we won a few games in October

:Letters:

[Cripps_orig]

Pointless. As soon as they join us they'll stop working hard.

Wenger coaches it out of them.

Theres a name for that

Kos was comfortably the man of the match, you should probably watch the games so you are at least up to speed. The two worst players on the pitch by a considerable margin were Arshavin and, as usual, Theo Walcott. Obviously we need to get rid of both these wasters but Wenger persists for some reason.

He also started Yossi Benayoun in the middle and that could only ever have ended in one way, disaster. It took us losing the lead before Wenger made the changes. Stubborn to the last.
