    Bould was terrible today. He waited until 70 minutes to make some changes and then took off Jenkinson for some reason. Ramsey needed to go. He was offering **** all going forward.

    Arsenal is terrible at the moment:confused:

    What is happening???

    You don't have a single form player other than Cazrola.

    How is this?

    the diet coke of football.

    I would say roll on January but we all KNOW it will be more of the same.

    Penny pinching since 2005.

    Sub standard players , maybe playing well on the odd occasion , just well enough not to be obviously useless..and therefore getting shot of....

    Judas exonerated.

    He was right.

    Wenger pays lip service to it but , This club HAS actually no ambition .

    I'm sure that we could have drawn if he took of Ramsey instead of Jenkers and made the substitution 10 minutes earlier.

    Team vs QPR
    Mannone
    Jenkinson
    Mert
    Kos (Verm has been too erratic recently)
    Santos/Coq
    Frimpong
    Arteta (Give him more freedom with Frim as the DM)
    Wilshere
    Cazorla (On the wing) PS I know he's a midfielder but he can also play here
    Podolski (As the main striker)
    Gnarby (On the wing)

    Mannone - 5 - Could not do anything on the goals but he simply does not fill me with confidence, every time the ball went near him I was worried.

    Jenkinson - 6 - Did his defensive work well but needs to improve when going forward, he is not clever enough in the final third.

    Mert - 5 - Did nothing wrong in the first half but was at fault for their first goal, his early season form is fading.

    Vermaelen - 4 - Needs to be dropped.

    Santos - 3 - His defending style is appalling. Played like he never met our other three defenders before.

    Arteta - 5 - Neat but too slow.

    Coquelin - 6 - He was decent but is not anywhere near the class of Wilshere or Diaby yet and we miss them BADLY.

    Cazorla - 6 - Only attacking player that was any sort of threat but even Cazorla is not anywhere near his best. Is the lack of forward movement the reason?

    Podoloski - 4 - Slow and offered no help to Santos.

    Gervinho -2- Disgraceful dive and a pathetic performance.

    Ramsey -4- Works hard but he has zero quality on the ball and is as slow as ****.

    Wenger won't drop Verm, as he's captain/

    Gnabry is better as an impact sub. Not sure he has the stamina yet to play 90 minutes.

    I wouldn't blame Mert for the first goal. I'd blame Santos more as the back-line was pushing up but he didn't (same as for the Norwich goal).

    I'd largely agree, but i'd give Santos a 1, as he was the worst player on the pitch by a long way. Despite Gerv's best efforts, he wasn't as bad as Santos.

    Why don't we just recall Ryo. Verm HAS TO BE DROPPED, it'd slap some sense into him. Gnarby doesn't have to play the full 90

    Mert and TV were both also at fault. They fell asleep. Yes, Santos made a mistake but if these two were more aware then it could have been stopped.

    We should beg Bendtner to come back, he's better than half that team

    Maybe I have that pathetic dive in my mind. What a **** dive that was. He is not even good at diving.

    True. Though I'd still put more blame on Santos (terrible defending all round tbh)
