please log in to view this image Do you press the above on your keyboard after every ****ing defeat? Calm down. You did the same after the QPR game, yet we are still here in 3rd.
Song and Rosicky are not bad. We just need someone else who can play Arteta's position. Coq would be great if he was fit... or Ox. Only 4 games left. We need to get through the next two, if we can do that and still be in a good position, we can finish the season on a high note.
The way Wilshere is going, will he ever return? It's one setback after another, i think it's time to put a contingency plan into action, in case he never returns. That means signing someone world class in the summer.
He says he is over the ankle injury, but keeps getting niggles, which is expected after being out for such a long time. TV was the same last season and he came back.
Good to hear then. I'm glad he'll miss the euros, i don't think any of us want him going and picking up an unnecessary injury. If i were Wenger, i would ban all players from playing for their countries, except Ramsey, because i'm welsh and he's pretty good for us, just not for Arsenal.
I fear we could finish 6th. Spurs have good players, they can come back to form at any time, Newcastle are on a roll, Chelsea have been far better under Di Matteo.
Spurs have good players and we do not? Let me say again, they have won 1 in 8 and have not won a single away game this year. We have won 8 of our last 10 games. Today, was **** but lets not go OTT.
They have an easy run in. Also, this may be unpopular, but RvP seems off colour now, i think he's starting to fade badly, this is his 1st full season i believe. We should have rested him tonight, and had him back, fresh and ready for Chelsea.
We reacted well after the QPR defeat. Lets hope for the same. As for Chelsea and Newcastle, they still have tough games. As it stands, we are sitting in third and are five clear, who have said that when we lost three leagues games in a row after the United game?
They have QPR next. They are fighting for their lives and have won their last three home games. Spurs had Norwich at home and they still lost. They also have Blackburn and Bolton. Another two fighting for their lives. As we saw with Wigan today, these teams will give it everything.
Please let's not pretend that Wigan simply came and played so good which is why we lost. Yes, Wigan played good, but WE WERE SO SH!T and practically allowed them to play that good because of how poor and lazy we were. The players were a disgrace today, simple as that.
Where did I say that? I said teams like Wigan will give everything because they are playing for their premier league lives.
They didn't have to give much, we made it so easy for them, we were so pooooooor. both of their goals were so easy, gifts given to them.
Based on the season as a whole, he has been a very sh!t signing, Mata would have been a much better signing.
Not really. He helped make some passes, he helped defensively and he played that nice hall that IF Theo was willing to attack it he would have had a very good chance of scoring This is one of the things that annoys me about Arsenal...our wide players play in some good crosses but why is it only Robin that is attacking them
I only remember 1 good performance from him, that was Villa a few weeks ago. he was good in that game, but really useless tonight. I've seen on other forums people saying we should try Andre Santos as winger, and i agree, far more likely to get an end product from him.
Gervinho started brightly at the beginning of the season but seems to have lost all ability, he seems clueless when on the ball, Chamakh mark 2 ?? To absorb the loss of Arteta we need someone who can pass the ball quickly and be the glue, Denilson wouldn't be a bad bet if he were here still, Coquelin would be my player of choice right now though, quick, can tackle, can pass. I would be far too scared to have OXO play there, you don't know if he will lose the ball or do something mesmeric. Whatever Wenger decides, that player is the key to the remainder of our season, Chelsea won't be pushovers in midfield.
I think that's far too simplistic and doesn't accurately describe the true picture. There was massive pressure on us before the Spurs game, probably the most we'd had this season. People were calling for Wenger to go, saying that if we lost the NLD at home, he should walk. There was huge pressure on Walcott too, with lots of people on his back. Also after the QPR loss there was intense pressure in the next game against Man City, which we not only handled, but won the game, so saying that we lose focus and professionalism at the wrong times, is selective at best. There have been times this season where our performances have been well below what we're capable of, but it's too easy to simply fall into the trap of blaming our 'mentality' when we lose, but the fact is that against both QPR and Wigan, they played better than us and deserved to win.
Geronimo started brightly, began to take on 3 players and lose, any crosses were awful, - went to ACON and now seems clueless. Oh dear.
