    Your both right! Tactics and manager wrong but sanogo - good give me strength - should never be a starter for us. Honestly would he start for any other premier league team?

    Sanogo is another Bendtner.

    We stuck with him for 8 years. Now he can't even find a club on a free transfer.

    Wenger's judgement is not the same as it used to be.

    If he wants trophies he goes to Chelsea actually. Any Arsenal fan who thinks we have a better chance of winning anything ahead of Chelsea this season is deluded. Or we might scrape another FA cup if they choose to concentrate on the PL and CL.

    Bendner is a footballer. Albeit egotistical. That's where the difference between him and Sonogoals stays.

    The question is, how bad must Joel Campbell be to not get any playing time at the moment?

    Campbell ain't THAT good. To be fair, even I wouldn't have started him today, he is not a striker.

    I just wonder who Wenger is kidding. I think he completely underrated Leicester, (he has no intention of signing any striker), but he wanted obviously felt Sanogo would redeem himself by putting in a winning performance and win us the game. If that had happened, he would have had egg on the face of those who questioned whether we need a replacement for Giroud. So he left him on for almost the entire match..... If we had carried on playing until next week, doubt if Sanogo would have scored!

    I guess he can no longer be bullish when questioned at the end of this game, he would be a little contrite, and probably say we still looking to bring in re-inforcement.... If we find the right player to improve our squad blah blah....

    Finally......one of you gets it.
    With the players you have, you should be beating Leicester, DM or no DM.
    Your manager has ****ing lost it, and he lost it years ago.

    Now Im out of here before you all spit dummies and accuse me of Wumming.

    For a manager that's lost it, he's won more trophies than your special one in the past year.

    Afternoon lads.

    What did you make of the game today?

    Personally thought you were awful in the final 3rd. When you signed Alexis Sanchez I thought you might start pulling up trees again. But he was almost totally ineffective and (although he took his chance when it came) he should be played behind the striker or as the main striker with Ramsey feeding off his energy.

    Ramsey was also poor, rarely noticed him on the ball and it probably isn't a consolation to you that he was being marked by our 4th and5th choice central midfielders.

    Thought we were terrific in our spirit and appetite for the game and we could have (or should have) won it with the Ulloa chance.

    Morgan was superb although he didn't have to do an awful lot against Sanogo who was as awful as I knew he would be.

    Really quite disappointed in the goal we conceded (I'm sure you feel the same about our goal) but that's the upgrade in quality that we need to adjust to.

    Onwards and upwards but I think that in the circumstances we'll both look at this result as a point won.

    The sad thing is many of us could see from the way we ducked out of signing Fabregas
    That the club lacked ambition.
    No one is convinced by Ozil and Wiltshire
    We would be 100% a better team with Fabregas pulling the strings
    If Ozil and Wiltshire didn’t like it then Fook them off
    In my opinion Ozil doesn’t want to be at Arsenal I hope I am wrong.
    Also how Cambel is down the order from Sanagoo after the world cup makes no sense.
    Our club is a ball of confusion at the moment and that come from the Manager
    Anyhow onwards and sideways

    Yes, thats a totally sensible timeframe on which to base it....one season.

    First of all he has won ONE trophy not two, the Charity shield is NOT a trophy.

    Secondly, Jose arrived at our club, took a season to spot our shortcomings, and then fixed them <ok>

    You are better poised in that respect, as you are financially 100 times more viable than my club. Yet your manager has had YEARS to fix your problems, and does **** all to fix it.
    We needed a striker and more creativity from midfield, since the two players we once relied on for these roles, Lampard and Drogba, had past their sell by date.
    One season in to gauge things, and BAM, Costa and Fabregas........

    Try comparing things between now and 2017 and we will see who has won more trophies <ok>

    It's too early to start calling for wengers head. After a difficult period for the club last season marked a change. Higher spending power and our most successful season for a long time. He's just won us a couple if trophies (only city won anything other than us) and not only has the transfer window not closed, we haven't lost a game yet.

    I understand people having concerns about wenger but he's a lot better than a lot of other managers and we have shown signs of moving in the right direction despite some average early season performances (which is to be expected due to fitness etc).

    I think he has earned the right to be given some patience and it's far too early to be writing off the season already and pinning the blame on wenger..

    Right now, that just came off as desperate.

    Ok. I've started to calm a bit now.

    That performance just made me soo furious because it encapsulated everything bad about the last 8-9 years at Arsenal.

    The truth is we made more than enough chances to win this game. We made more chances than Chelsea made against them.

    The issue is just that we lack a genuine quality centreforward. Our whole team is creative and a Cavani/Falcao type would absolute make the world of difference.

    Ok its true we could use a DM but its less of an issue. It's not like we don't have enough of the ball!!

    The issue is clear as daylight and as much as I like the Sanchez signing perhaps £35 Million would have been better put to use in a position we were actually weak in.

    A DM is not less of an issue. If Leicester could make our defence look panicky, what the hell are City, Liverpool and Chelsea going to do to them?

    That's all well and good but the guy keeps making the same mistakes over and over again,how are people supposed to feel,I also think there is a lack of physicality in the side to compliment all the technical ability.

    Things today proves.

    We need a ST - Sanogoo is ****e (wtf hav pod and Cambpell done to not even get a shout)
    We need a DM - Far too easy to get through out mf. I don't think i noticed Flamini untill he made a bad tackle.
    We need a CB - A injury to Kos and we are suddenly down to 2 CB's again (1 being a 19 year old who has played there 3 times)

    Otherwise known as what we needed at the start of the season. I was so optimistic when Wenger was initially so active at the start of the season but we still needed players and he has for some reason decided nah we are good. It is another transfer window he has ****ed up (bar a miracle). Also WTF with no subs before the 75th min?? Was he just giving Sanogoo a chance to score so he could justify not buying a striker??? Also Ozil is a no 10 ****ING PLAY HIM THERE - what is the point of rejecting Fabregas for Ozil if you are going to play him out of position. Also learn a new tactic all Leister had to do was sit deep and deny space in the middle, how can we be dealt with by just one simple tactic???
