That guy is always hysterical but I don't think there's much to disagree with.

I expected a draw. It wasn’t a good performance and Wenger should have made changes early on. Giroud was woeful and had a pass completion rate of 59%. 23/39 passes, so we lost the ball a lot. Besides fluffing his lines, his first touch was woeful. He’s not first team material and the fact that he’s fatigued makes him even worse. Moves break down constantly around him, he gives the ball away, misses his chances and isn’t creating anything for anyone else.
Jack Wilshere was woeful too. 0/0 tackles, 0/0 interceptions, 57/70 passes completed (81%) 1 attempt on goal. He gives the ball away in bad areas and it’s not just bad passing, he’s getting tackled and left flat on his ass far too often which results in a counter. The RVP header that was tipped on to the bar from Szczesny came from Wilshere getting tackled further up the pitch whilst we had bodies forward. He’s reckless.
These two need to be dropped for the next game. More game time won’t help them. Give someone else a chance and see what happens. I won’t blame Wenger for starting them again, but after 60 minutes they should have been hauled off because there was no change in their approach.
There's no fight in this team, after losing 5-1 it's not unreasonable to expect the manager and players to be highly motivated, the players really showed very little desire to win, for 60-70 minutes we barely attacked with any intent, I just don't get it.
Then you have Wenger on the bench, sitting on his arse doing nothing again just like Saturday, he just seemed more interested in not losing today than winning, no Podolski brought on, kept Wilshere one who was atrocious, watched Giroud do nothing except miss chances.
Where is the desire, why don't these players (and the club) after almost 9 years without a trophy bust a gut to try and win games like this when we're in a great position in a season where the top teams aren't perhaps at their very best?
The football also just has to change, it's slow, predictable and frankly boring, we're crying out for some pace because we're wasn't players like Ozil in this team, I'm even looking at Sagna to be honest, he had opportunities to rush forward but after a short burst he checks back and passes it sideways or backwards thus killing any chance of a counter, WTF is wrong with these players, do they prefer to try and setup near impossible intricate passing moves through the centre instead of running into space and being able to run on goal?
That's the thing, I expected a draw too because that's what we do when we get a mauling, show no reaction at all, I'm use to it over the years, the lack of desire is atonishing.Originally Posted by Power_n_Glory
Wilshere just doesn't work IMO, he's slow, gives away passes regularly, his tackling is clumsy and he's intent on doing everything through the center, it's like he's a mini AW on the pitch.
I think him playing slows us down and generally doesn't work for us, he'll occasionally be involved in a good move and score a good goal, but overall he's just not what we need, I know he came through the youth ranks etc but we need players that are going to work in the team and he doesn't.
He needs a break because right now he’s showing his immaturity. He’s not reading the game well, he’s making bad decisions and he pushes forward at every opportunity when it’s unnecessary. If Rosicky can’t play, I’d rather see Ox or Cazorla get games there. Jack should be playing from the bench.
The same shit's been said for the last 9 years.
'We need a CDM and a top striker' , been the same since Flamini left ffs.
Can't imagine how the people who go to every game for the last 9 seasons feel. I was offered a ticket for the Manc game, and it was roughly £100 for the day out, fuck that I said to myself. Even then, it just feels like nothing will ever change at the moment. I'm not even confident of getting top 4 now.
The money is there, it isn't being spent properly and only Wenger is to blame.

He's become a C celeb for an Internet TV channel that's always looking for hits. Other fans around the country must be laughing their balls off watching us slit our wrists over not being top of the table.

They.re probably laughing their heads off at seeing us bottling a good opportunity again. We're club that plays pretty football but never wins, except we don't play pretty football anymore.
Jack (both last night and against Liverpool) was trying to force things to happen in a team that's not set up to make things happen. Ozil was doing the same last night. Our rapid and accurate passing to serve movement and the interchange of players has gone. Now we're static, slow, predictable. It's a symptom of the manager's fear of losing. We've seen hints of it from early in the season, the first real manifestation against Everton, who if they had as potent strike force as Liverpool would have done us 5-1 too, and we saw a taste of the disaster to come when we played Southampton.
Raises the question, is it better to be a bit ambitious, play decent football and finish 4th. Or is it better to shut up shop and claw towards the top? Neither approach has quite enough to get the desired results when it matters. 3 or 4 more top quality players required and this isn't surprising after all the years of selling and not replacing that quality.

SHould've sent this cunt home crying, now look at him :
