    Agreed, their plan worked well and it's worked well against us before. Teams know what to do against us, which means they tend to be very organised when it comes to doing it.

    What are you on about? Well done on your win. Just don't come here trolling and expect to get a good reception.

    And now suddenly the pressure is on Wilshere to come and save us. A player that has been out for 14 months. This is what I talked about the second after the transfer window closed. It's nothing short of a ****ing joke. Wenger and co gamble again and lose AGAIN.

    You're right, i forgot about the fullbacks and Arteta. OK, Gnabry was our only positive attacking threat. Gerv really should have scored from his through ball.

    Sorry fella, I wasn't trolling, merely pointing out the arrogance of some that believe all they need to do is turn up to win <ok> One day it will dawn that they are not many easy games in the PL, especially away from home.

    I appreciate you guys have have been spoiled with your history but please show a little more respect for other team that have every right to be playing in the same league as you <ok>

    Positives for me - Arshavin looked hungry when he came on. Gnarby had a decent little cameo. Santos played very well and showed why LB is not our weakest position but one of our most competitive spots. Arteta played well, Giroud in the air was good but for me he lacked enough service, he turned the CB well and the CB should have been sent off for the poor challenge - for me that would of been Girouds chance to get on the scoresheet.

    Thats about the only positives i can muster up from that...

    He should have. And if Giroud hadn't been tackled, which should have been a Red, when he made that turn I think he'd have scored.

    Thats the point .

    Thats the difference between REAL class and , not quite.

    The above cannot be RELIED upon to perform consistently.

    Judas always did the business even when he had a bad game.

    Gervinho has to have an absolute blinder of a game to even score once.

    How much of YOUR money would you put on any of the above getting a hat trick ?

    EH ?

    Negatives: Mannone didn't look good enough for this level. Merte looked shaky. Oxo came on and got injured. Pod and Gerv were completely ineffective meaning our entire creative influence was left to Cazorla with 2 players on him. Ramsey was useless as usual: it's like starting the match with 10 men.

    Gotta add to the positives on Gnabry: as soon as he came on, he ran into the space and picked up the ball in a dangerous position. How did no-one else manage to do that in the whole game?

    gunner.be.alright

    It has to be said that is the worst logic i have ever heard in my life...

    If someone isn't willing to gamble a hefty amount of their money on a player scoring a hatrick then the player must be useless? Absolutely ridiculous....

    Firstly - making a bet on any player who isn't messi to get a hatrick is most likely going to result in you losing money. Not to mention the fact that alot of people don't gamble.

    Why is Mannone being blamed. He didn't do much wrong today, granted I think Chez might have done better but still...

    thats not what im saying at all .

    Im saying this .

    We will win NOTHING with this lineup .

    Wenger will persist with Gervinho until even the most blind arsenal fan has had enough , and even THEN we will still have him in the squad for about another 12 months.

    For me the main problem was podolski and gerv not being involved enough - so id like to see Arshavin getting a chance in the team. If players are not in the game we need to be quicker to take them out of the game. Today it was unlucky with the oxocube injury though as i think we would have seen gerv come off otherwise.

    Mannone - 4 - Should have done better for the goal, never ever an Arsenal number one.

    Jenkinson - 5 - Nothing bad or good.

    Vermaelen - 4 - Has not been the same player since the 10/11 season.

    Mert - 5 - His worst performance of the season.

    Ramsey - 4 - SLOW.

    Arteta - 5 - Same as Jenkinson.

    Cazorla - 5 - Marked tightly and was trying to be our only creative force but he failed.

    Gervinho - 3 - Dear oh dear.

    Giroud - 4 - Won a few flick ones but was not a threat and his lack of pace worries me.

    Podolski - 3 - Did he play?
