Looking at the first goal, can you really blame anyone else but Gabriel for not clearing that ball? Mistakes were made in the build up and everyone involved can only blame themselves. I can't blame the midfield for Theo losing the ball there. You just have to get the basics right. Sanchez should have been marking better and tracking better and Gabriel should have made contact with that ball to clear it. When it's as simple as making a clearance, you can't blame the midfield.
2nd goal...how again can you blame anyone but the CB's for not picking up that kid on his debut? No one else can be blamed.
3rd goal ok. That's the only goal where the midfield were nowhere to be found. But it's hard to pass the buck the other goals. Collective errors in all of it but excuses can't be made for the errors.
To add to the above, i have to say Ramsey is a huge part of the problem.
We miss a player like Carzola immensely.
Ramsey just doesn't understand the role he has to do in the middle, he is like a energetic bunny, but without any kind of substance. Thats why Carzola is so vital, he does the simple things well and in general keeps our play ticking over.
I also don't understand why Campbell was suddenly dropped?? It baffles me why Wenger is not playing him when he was so useful, worked hard and scored/assisted.
We have some gaping problems, and no immediate solutions.....not sure what is in store next or what Wenger could do to the immediate problem or Ramsey.
This could get me banned, but years ago when I posted as Ashburton, I said then that Wenger was passed it, well, I was bloody right! I will say it again, his early success came from inheriting the best back five this country has ever seen! Wenger out.....please!!!
Of course you can blame Theo for the first goal - WTF? And Alexis was asleep for the second. Yes, the defenders have to do better too. of course, but we defend as a team and we were down to 10 today due to yet another Theo no-show so it's going to be more difficult to avoid being pulled to pieces. Nobody is saying Gabriel played well, nor did any of the back four in fact. But if the midfield can't be arsed then half the defensive strategy goes out the window. Coquelin actually played quite well today. Hopelessly outgunned by Hernia and Snidey, but he was all over the middle trying to get tackles in, covering the huge gaps left by Ramsey. It was a joke. The manager sent that team out there with nothing and during the game he gave them nothing either. You get a proper manager in there and suddenly we have a midfield, suddenly we can defend, suddenly we are taking care of the basics. But as it stands, of course you are going to get mistakes all over the place if the manager can't be arsed to do his job. Mistakes are one thing, but a lack of effort is simply unforgivable. Theo Walcott is a fucking disgrace, a thief. And Alexis will be heading down that road if he doesn't pull himself up sharpish. Only a complete fuck up like Wenger could ruin a player like Alexis and he's doing it. We MUST get this dinosaur out of the club before anything else can be fixed on the pitch. Pure complacency and a massive lack of ambition, that's what Wenger gives us. And nothing else.

You were absolutely right and I hold my hands up. It shouldn't get you banned to tell the truth. I would have been one of the stupid cocks singing his praises. But we all wake up in the end. Or most do. That cock Ty is still on there backing the manager. Maybe he gets special points for loyalty and if he comes top of the loyalty league his prize will be to let the Arsenal board and Wenger literally shit on him.

World class shrink required. Too right. And a straitjacket to cart the old goat out of here.

You're making excuses for Gabriel and pointing out other players failing to do the basics when Gabriel simply had to clear the ball for that first goal. There isn't anything to think about tactically, he doesn't have to worry about the positioning of Ramsey or anyone else for that matter. It's just get to the ball first and clear it. It's that simple. If everyone does their own job properly, the goal is prevented but you can't keep banging on about Ramsey and Walcott but then make excuses for Gabriel. It's nonsense. When the ball bounces right in front of you but you fuck up the clearance, regardless of what happened for that scenario to occur, you've fucked up if you can't make a simple clearance. It's bullshit to point to anyone else on the pitch. A collection of errors happen in the lead up but each man has to take responsibility for their failures and not make excuses. That applies to Ramsey and Walcott. I'm not excusing their failings in the build up but it seems as though you are for Gabriel. Honestly, he is not good and if that were Merts playing, I can't see you making the same excuses. Sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say that wasn't good enough.
100% agree with this. Only thing that went to plan was that we made money from the game, and it will be added to the huge pot of cash reserves. I'm done with this club until they make some big fucking changes. Supported them through thick and thin, think they give a fuck? Absolutely not!
