Though I doubt it would make much difference to the current scoreline, it has to be said that this pitch is atrocious. Every time Arsenal try to pass it the ball is just bobbling about all over the place ... takes all the tempo out of our game.
We need to switch back to 4-3-3. Van Persie is isolated... ok the pitch isn't ideal down the wings but that's no excuse...Kosh is injured.
In the build up to the goal, he was miles offside and I don't think you can claim he wasn't active since he scored.
We have no creativity at all !! WTF was Wenger thinking ? The pitsh is bad but when you have quality you can over come it - cue Ibrahimovic and Robinho. Sagna can't cross, Rosicky doesn't want to go down the left, Gibbs isn't overlapping, Walcott and Ramsey are pointless today, Song and Arteta can't do it all, Vermaelen is having a mare.
He was onside for the 2nd phase thats all that matters Ibrahimovic looked offside when he received the ball to me though
It's amateur night for us I'm afraid. We're being exposed all over the pitch. We're still panicking in defense and not getting the ball forward quick enough. And to make matters worse here's Djourou!
Read this.. However.. This is true. I rewound it and paused it on Sky Plus, and it was definitely offside. Close, but definitely off - the lines on the pitch proved it.
Sorry but how the hell has Antonini got a yellow card for that! Ref and Linesmen have been very average so far tonight, to both teams.
Agreed we are really lacking creativity today. Wenger's got the team composition wrong today. Rosicky shouldn't be on the left. He should have kept the same side with Rosicky in the center and OXO on the left.
It looked very, very close. We've only had one half decent angle of it so far, though. The pitch is dreadful and it's really hindered Arsenal, I think you're better off moving Walcott closer to RVP so he's not isolated and Walcott can get on the better parts of the pitch.
The pitch is'nt the problem. We're just ****. ****ing awful performance. How much we miss Fabregas now.
We haven't created anything, and they've pretty much created something in every attack. I understand Thiago Silva is an amazing CB, but wow, we have no ideas!
