    Maybe. But there's no accounting for slopping passing and giving the ball away time and again. That comes down to the players simply not performing at the standard that is required.

    Oxo has had a mare , runs around like a headless chicken , fails to even attempt a tackle on Eto for the first goal , to be fair they were all ball watching instead of making the tackle .

    No one makes it , they just watch the goal develop , and conclude .

    spot on. our finishing just like our strikers are awful. Still we are 4 up before the half.

    That is spineless from your team!

    Completely agree, the whole team has been rubbish but oxo just keeps giving the ball away in terrible positions. He isn't up to playing cm in the bg games.

    Well, I told you lot in the first page why we should not have play OX in the midfield against these lot and why we should have started Flamini. Sadly saw it coming a mile off.

    If by "kept us top 4" you mean "f*cked up in every big game over the last 4 years" then yes, i agree.

    Arteta is a liability , ive said it before.
    He is either getting caught out or giving away free kicks .

    It will be good for a healthy rivalry between 2 Merseyside club, especially how Everton backed Liverpool in JFT96, I would love to see 2 Merseyside club in CL

    Our defence has been a shambles because both full backs have been caught up field when they have the ball, making it easy to play balls between full back and centre half. Can't blame Kosc and Mert, as they've had no support. Not sure whose fault that is.

    Don't think 1 player would have made a difference, it's all been bad.

    You lose these games because you havent got the balls to get stuck in.

    No team fears you, you can say the same about united but you would be wrong because Arsenal fear united and the other top clubs. You have for years.

    Who is responsible for instilling this fear mentality? Wenger? Players?

    You have to ask questions of wenger. You really do. He knows better than this, hes a better manager than this but hes a clueless man.

    Actually i can blame Merts on the first 2 goals. The left side of the defense needed to make up for his pace to fill the gaps, in turn opening up the left side.


    But Merts isn't the problem, Wenger chose the wrong team (Flamini was a must), and sent the team in with the wrong tactics.

    It was so risky. And I told you in particular last week that OX was not ready to start in CM against a team like Chelsea. They pressed him and he has given the ball away nearly every time. Flamini should have started, it was do fuvking obvious.
