Also thought Benayoun did relatively well, always tried to make himself available, scored a decent goal and set up a chance that Rosicky really should have done better with.
Had to carry Arshavin and Chamakh (with help from the rest of the midfield, ofc) most of the game.

Looks like the comedy show continued off the pitch. Lets hope he is as wrong about this as he has been about most things related to Arsenal. But..Wenger, ffs, where was the need?Andre Santos ankle injury looks bad. Hobbled through mixed zone in obvious pain. And proceeded to trip on barrier with bad foot. #afc
Agreed it isn't meaningless nor is it the end of the world. But it is an indicator of who has a future with us and for whom the bell should soon toll.Originally Posted by Letters (TPFKA WWTL@WHL)

Dont worry, we have Gibbs..

Fabianski felt a deep cut on the knee and Santos suffered a bad ankle injury. He looks like he will be out for a while. We have Gibbs coming back in two to three weeks. Hopefully Santos will not be too long but, for Saturday against Everton, he looks to be short. We have as well Vermaelen who can play in his position.
At least it'll allow Vermaelen to get forward. He should form a good partnership with Van Persie.
Why Vermaelan? Miguel will fine against Everton.

Maybe. We knew we had a tough 3 league fixtures coming up: Everton, Man City, Villa. We also knew this was a nothing game. If we were going to play as shit as we did today and if we were going to play a very weakened side, we might as well have not let Vermaelen and Santos travel either. Very annoying. Right...I'm done moaning.Why Vermaelan? Miguel will fine against Everton.
Arsene, you penis.
Now I'm done.

Pathetic performance tbh, and showed how weak our squad really is. A couple of injuries to key players like Chesney and Vermaelen and we're looking at the prospect of seeing Mannone and Djourou/Squillaci starting for us in crucial Premier League games. I know this game was a dead rubber, but it has shown up how many of our players are really not Champions League standard at all, which is deeply worrying. If we had put up a decent fight and still lost, it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but to perform like clowns is not acceptable.
Again, it all comes back to Wenger and/or the board. Why are we in this situation where our squad is so weak? We had the whole summer to put together a strong set of 22 players, with enough quality in reserve so that when these players are called upon, they'll put up at least a competent performance. Don't forget, the only reason we ended up signing a fair few players on the last day of the Transfer Window was because of the 8-2 result. If we had gotten a better result in that game, Wenger would most likely have not bothered with any last ditch deals, and our squad would have been EVEN WORSE than it is now!
Oh dear.Waaaaaaaaaah!
