Match Reaction Vs Norwich

[Gervinho's Forehead]

It's the same as always, we appear to improve in certain areas but then begin in lack in others. We have half a chance in the cups depending on the draws and how seriously we take them, but as for the league and CL, not a chance in hell and that's what is so frustrating.

Do we though? Have a chance in the cups that is? I can see us getting fairly deep in to the cup competetions (apart from CL) until we meet a decent team or just a team that wants it more than us.

Even so we one, and that was a harder game. We should no need Theo to come one to win this game, yes we missed him but we should not have needed too.

But we needed him to come on against West Ham otherwise we could have drawn or lost the game. It was a hard game but we drew last season at home to Norwich 3-3 and we were lucky to get a draw. It doesn't even matter too much about the opposition anymore these days. Just set your team up to defend and we'll struggle. Wenger can't deal with teams like that.

I think we were set up badly and it's not just about the mentality. Giroud is the type of striker that relies on service and he needs a lot of support around him because unlike Gervinho, he's not that mobile outside of the box and he's not floating around dragging defenders out of position and being a nuisance. We needed Cazorla to play higher up to support and play him through and get play flowing between Poldoski, Giroud and Gervinho but that wasn't happening. I blame Ramsey for this mostly because he contributes nothing from deep or higher up field. Can't thread a ball through when high up or be trusted to play the right pass and protect the ball when deep.

Add Polsolski in the mix who doesn't really run at defenders or acts as a pass master from the flanks, wasteful Gervinho and his hit and miss dribbling...we really struggled to break down Norwich. If a team sits deep, we're screwed. QPR next and Hughes already knows how to play against Wenger and despite their poor form, I think we could have a tricky game against them as well.

As has been said before, this was norwich we were playing, a team that hadn't won a game this season until we gifted them a goal through bad defending and a very poor goalkeeper. Although I will say I think it had 0-0 written all over it because we did nothing.

We drew against Norwich last season and they played us off the park. It's Norwich but there is a fundamental problem with the way Wenger sets his teams up. We should have beaten them with the players we had and it shouldn't take a bunch of world class players to deal with them but it's not as if we haven't had these sort of results in the past. Last season it was QPR, Wigan, Swansea. Season before...West Brom, Birmingham.....we always lose to teams like this.

It will be good to get Windshire back in. We fucked up not buying a midfielder when Song left, but dare I say Wolfsheer may actually be like a new signing.

Ramsey is well below standard right now and there's no point relying on Diaby whenever he's fit for his normal 2-3 game beast spell.

He was injured so therefore we could not use him. But even so she should have been ok against a team who have not 1 a game all season.

Mind you we always seem to gift wins to these type of teams. Seem it alot down the years. Team does shit gets battered by every team don't win in 10 play us and beat us.

Again with Arsenal fans thinking injured players are 10x better than they actually are! Ramsey was a better player than Whilshere until he got injured and everyone spent a year putting Rambo on a pedestal, but now he's the shittest player that ever wore an Arsenal shirt!

That and the whole scores with their first shot on target(ish) makes it even worse.

Lat year we beat them at their home, we should have done the same drawing 3-3 at home wa diffrent cause there was pressure of not getting that 4th place.

Today we had no pressure. Lets not pretend they are ok cause we drew 3-3 with them, that said it was kind of in the stars we'd struggle. They had not 1 a game in 7 and our players hate playing away after the Iternational break, especially up there.

Even thought we should be beating them i kind of expected this. This team has improved lots but mentally its still poor and that stems from Wenger and him only.

Yeah but why always us? Debut goalscorer us, first goal of the season against us, first win against us, first clean sheet against us. etc. etc.
