We lose today, or even draw, then it's back to fighting for that top 4 trophy again, Everton have a game on hand, and we play them away. It would be so typical of Arsenal if that happened, from challenging for the title, to ending up challenging for 4th spot, only Arsenal are capable of doing that.
Giroud should be benched ...........FACT how come he can offer so little every game and still start every game. w**k ! one down at home to relegation fodder .
Not good enough. We started brightly, kept posession and had some nice passing moves, then they scored and composed themselves and we dealt with it poorly. We need more pace in the team. Other than the goal all Swansea have had is a single blocked shot. So it's not like they should run away with the game. The team needs to come out better in the second half and get an early goal.
When was the last time we actually responded in a good way? It's a myth we respond back, after getting thrashed by Pool, we drew United 0-0, after getting thrashed by City, we drew 0-0 with Chelsea, and for the most part this season, we've never blown teams away or played fantastic dominant football.
mmmm...if we loose against city (very likely!) and everton...then both everton and spurs can go by us.
John Hartson has summed it up for me: "Arsenal's build-up play has been excellent but when they're in that final third they just go to pieces. I would love to see someone go in to that area and help Olivier Giroud out. If someone ran in off Giroud's shoulder and in behind Swansea, Arsenal would see a difference."
If we lose today, 4th place is in Everton's hand, they beat us, win their game in hand, and they are 4th. The fact we're even mentioning this shows how pathetic our situation is, but hey, this is Arsenal, and it's become the norm with Wenger.
Kallstrom to come on, set up an equalizer and score the winner before going off with a recurrence of his back injury.
no one every runs into the box , bar Oxo . Look at the pool or City when they get the ball , they are all off like rockets to get in the box. Now look at us ...its a fucking joke and has been for ages. The runner will get to the box, then look up , no one there. Pass it back central , who passes it wide , then it normally goes out or back to the half way line . Just SHOCKING , and he sits there watching it.
Well who's fault is that? Wenger knew Walcott was going to be out, and he sat on his ass and only brought in Kallstorm.
Ramsey did this to great effect in the first half of the season and it's how Walcott plays. Since they're out no one is in the box help ing giroud.
Well that might make someone at this club get their finger out and do something about this annual f-----g meltdown the fans have to endure.
