He's been our best, or at least one of our best players in our last few games and despite not having the best performance today he still made some great passes in the second half. I also thought they closed him quickly and doubled up on him regularly when he received the ball.

He may be a despicable **** of a human being, but damn i want Mourinho managing this side.
I thought we were the better team in a few of our big games is far and unlucky to only draw and tonight I thought we could of got something. The performances have been pretty good in our bigg league games, we just haven't turned those performances into results.
I think results like this, where it's tactics and not necessarily endeavour and ability that has lost us the game, really call into question whether Wenger is the right man for the job.
The fact that we all accept this loss because we've become accustomed to losing to Mourinho kinda shows how low our ambitions are right now.

I'd rather play **** and win than pass the ball around in a pretty manner and lose.
There were atleast two occasions where Ozil's bad touch caused the ball to trickle out of play. He really wasn't his best today and he was slowing down our attacks with his hesitancy. I would've personally brought Oxo on for him and left Cazorla on. Cazorla was driving forward and atleast trying to raise the urgency of our attacks.
I'd very much like us to translate the performances into results but last season we didn't even play well in most of the big games! Silver linings and all that jazz.
I actually would not go that far. I also want us to win trophies, but I still do not want that horrible **** anywhere near our club. There are plenty of managers out there that we could get who would properly compete with that ****.
In a few of our big games?
We've played 5 games you could potentially call big.
Everton
Dortmund
Spurs
City
Chelsea
We haven't looked the better team in any of those.
Chelsea had the killer instinct. In overall play, we were on par. Chelsea did a brilliant job of hassling and unsettling us but we were getting into the right areas, just making the wrong decisions every single time.
Agreed he didn't have his best game today but I think they doubled men up on him to try and lower his influence and he still played a few lovely passes. And Agreed I would of taken him off instead of Cazorla. I wonder if the plan was to take ozil off but then in the five or ten minutes before the substitution ozil was all of a sudden involved in some great little passages of passing play, might of swayed wenger?
I felt we were better against city, Tottenham and Everton and gave the points away with a few stupid bits of defending. Dortmund were easily better than us and Chelsea got the better of us despite a decent performance from us.
Yeah, but at least he'd give our side a bit of swagger, we seriously lack in the mental strength department, the team seems to think like losers, because the manager thinks like a loser. Mourinho's a ****, but he's a winner, and we could do with some positive arrogance, as opposed to Wenger's deluded arrogance.
No. Just for the sake of trophies, you can't stoop to that level. This is a guy that scratched another managers eye from behind. He is the lowest of the low.
I dont think you will find many Arsenal fans that thought we would roll over Chelsea today .
so thats Played 7 , won 2
and exactly the same tactics and gameplay in all of them
Batmanu
I personally was hoping for a draw. But alas that was not to be. Thank God for International Break. I miss Pheo.
