Match Reaction - Arsenal 1-2 Watford

[Coca Kolo]

Seen that performance countless times over the past 5/6 years, even more embarrassing when you consider the squad that we have. Just a total fuck up from a team that has no drive unless they go behind, a team that looks and plays in a disjointed manner.

[Marc Overmars]

What a pathetic result.

They just don't want it enough, their minds were probably on Chelsea at the weekend. Even if we beat them we're still going to need a miracle.

Wenger.
He probably wouldn't even be able to motivate a bunch of drunks in a brewery.

I thought Ox had a very good game. Worth utilising him in our non-existent central midfield.

He had things set up with Alexis doing great up top and Bif coming off the bench and scoring goals. He'd lucked into it again but it was working.

So he changed it.

Where we had pace and movement and stamina he replaced it with a sluggish, static, part-time act.

With the midfield you could stretch things and say injuries and disciplinary problems forced his hand - not that his hand has ever needed forcing to play a consistently off-form Ramsey.

The striker situation though. He has no excuse whatsoever. He's just a stubborn, deluded git.

The two halves of this game are everything you need to know about Arsenal in the last decade.

Well even in midfield he could have retained Ox after his decent showing on Sat. But no he couldn't help himself, Ramsey straight back in despite not even being fully fit.

To be fair the starting 11 should have been good enough but once again our players seem to lack any kind of motivation. That comes directly from the manager.

[Power n Glory]

Oh shut up Wenger. Admits we in one interview that we're having slow starts and it's something even the players admitted in our last game. But as soon as the pundit mentions it he gets defensive and dismisses it as if unlinked. Fuck off.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Just fuck off!

[Niall_Quinn]

After all these years Wenger still only sees what he wants to see. He just casually says (how many times now this season alone?), oh yes, we were lacking mentally. As if it's a rare event and as if he somehow isn't involved.

[selassie]

Not mentally ready at the start of the match? WTF?

No mention of tiredness and handbrakes so there is some improvement I suppose

[Coca Kolo]

No other top 16 club in Europe would tolerate a manager as lamentable as Wenger. Every season, there are at least 3-4 (perhaps more) reasons why we lose, with mentality being primary. There is no accountability as to why this is the case and has been the case for best part of a decade. It's become a running joke.
