Match Reaction - Arsenal 0-2 West Ham

[cheesy bites]

If you thought at any point this offseason that we were going to win the league, I hope you know better now.

What a shower of shite.

A 16 year old lad defeated two World cup winning midfielders and the Welsh Iniesta. Hilarious.

I fucking hate football.

On the second goal - watch Merts. If he reacts & moves closer to Kos he probably blocks it.

Whatever the mistakes by Cech, this was a result of tactical deficiency.

We conceded the first goal on nine ocassions last season, only once did we come back to win against a manager less Crystal Palace.

We don't have the players or the tactical nous from the manager to play the expansive football we want, West Ham were always going to make us play in front of them and look to take any chance from set pieces or counter. They deserved to win and Slaven Bilic saw us coming a mile off, predictable.

It really was reminiscent of the football we were playing between 2006 and 2010.

Boring, predictable, shit.

[Maestro]

chelsea drop points, utd look shit and this is how we respond ....amazing

[Marc Overmars]

If we don't start well and score then this is the always the risk. We're so poor at chasing, West Ham had the cigars out when defending today. Many other teams will do so as well.

Let's just stick to what we know rather than pretend we're any good. Bring on the 4th place scrap.

Other random observations:

Going forward Ox is a threat, but the number of times he loses the ball in dangerous areas is fucking obscene.

Debuchy offers 0 going forward.

Giroud is making it harder and harder for me to support him as the lead striker.

Walcott does fuck all, and nobody should be surprised.

Coquelin doesn't actually do that much defending work, and his passing is worse than any of yours.

[topgun]

Shit from all concerned, especially Cech.

Exactly and it starts at the top.

[cheesy bites]

Team is screaming out for a striker signing. God help us if Wenger doesn't bring in anyone else.

[fakeyank]

Dont worry guys.. we will go on a 10-12 game unbeaten run, and watch that being branded on your face like Kim K's ass as a sign of progress.

[selassie]

Same as usual, 3rd or 4th place finish this season after dropping out of the title race by October at the very latest. By then half our team will be out injured with muscular injuries too, sound familiar?
