Match reaction vs Schalke

Wenger says:

"I believe we have shown a good response to Saturday's game and you feel that the team is getting better, in on month I think we will, if we continue to develop we will be there"

Be where?

[Marc Overmars]

In pole position for the coveted 4th place trophy.

Oh right, so it's not 2% away from domination then?

Good point . frustrating result . But a bit stressful the way we surrendered the 2 goals-lead . Bad marking , lack of awareness cost us the game . Walcott should have won it and his hesitation to pass the ball to Giroud who was in a better position robbed us a fantastic win .

Did the same when he was clearly offside and robbed Podolski the chance to score. He's looking out for no.1 - he doesn't normally do stuff like that.

Was it a foul on Theo?

Yes, the ref was a bit of a tit.

He done that vs Southampton. But it will be Girouds fault for not moving into space.

well, i think its fair to say that our ropey defence cost us the points last night, given we were two up. merts and verm did not play well at all.

[Özim]

Giroud doesn't need any help to mess stuff up he does a pretty good job on his own when in front of goal.

Cheeky 10 million Huntelaar bid in Jan?

Two goals up and we're looking for a 3rd goal because the defence cocked up our lead. That is what we need to keep in perspective. It would have been fantastic if we'd have nicked the win, but it papers over the cracks. We shouldn't have been in a position where we're looking for another bail out.
