i don't see how some of you think Arsenal creating some good chances is a positive thing? Erm, that's the same old story, a lack of clinical finishing, so not something to really be proud about.....Rosicky should've scored at least 1 of his 2 chances, that's what top clubs do in the big games where they need a goal, they bury their chances, not squander them and then say ah well we had good chances, even though we lost 3-1 at home, but we had good chances, weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee magnificenttttttttt (in a French accent).
We were better than Villa. ****. I've broken my rule. When you get past puberty and mature, you generally learn to ignore stupid little twats.
We were not better than Villa, and even if you think we were, who cares, they won, we lost, they have 3 points, we have 0, that's all that matters. I know when you have to make as many excuses as possible, you have to invent a new rule book, like Wenger, since we don't win any trophies, just say 4th place is a trophy, and now when we lose games, just say we were the better team.
This is our team. 3 Bacary Sagna (injured) 4 Per Mertesacker 5 Thomas Vermaelen (injured) 6 Laurent Koscielny (suspended) 17 Nacho Monreal (injured) 25 Carl Jenkinson 28 Kieran Gibbs (injured) Midfielders 7 Tomas Rosicky (injured) 8 Mikel Arteta (injured) 10 Jack Wilshere 16 Aaron Ramsey (injured) 19 Santi Cazorla 24 Abou Diaby (injured) 26 Emmanuel Frimpong (frozen out) 31 Ryo Miyaichi (injured) Strikers 9 Lukas Podolski 12 Olivier Giroud 14 Theo Walcott 15 Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (injured) 22 Yaya Sanogo 30 Ju-Young Park (frozen out) 52 Nicklas Bendtner (frozen out)
I'm hoping Gibbs and Sagna can recover for Wednesday, their injuries seem to be more bumps rather than something long term, Gibbs should really get over a cut by Wednesday, and Sagna took a heavy fall, but should get good by Wednesday, what the ****, are our players made of glass?
So we have 8 fit first team players that Wenger is willing to use. I assume Gibbs and Sagna will be okay by Wednesday, but even so, we'd still only have 10
Look at the possesion, the shots, on target et al. We were not great but we were better than Villa. There are no excuses that cover the refs incompetence. A pen that should not have been and then letting in a goal because we were down to 10 men, also not quite right. Plus the injuries and the hit to morale.
The injuries aren't Villa's problem, what you want them to do? Say sorry? That's our problem, if we signed some players, and added depth to the squad, we could deal with injuries, but when you sign NOBODY, then you take the risk of getting ****ed in the ass once injuries hit you.
