    Flamini needs to GTFO out of this side. He's a classic case of us settling for average instead of signing actual quality. The amount of space that Nzonzi and Bojan have been given is unforgivable.

    so true, the previous 3 games we may have won but hardly looked convincing. Step up Stoke, a very ordinary team, but a team who WANT the ball and play as a TEAM!!

    Didn't sign a world class defensive midfielder, have Flamini instead....Who's to blame for that? Average Flamini? Or the manager who made these decisions?

    Seriously what did anyone expect? Fair play to Bellerin, but that is a pathetic back line for a game like this, Kos should have started, and then we have that average Flamini in midfield, and a donkey up front in Giroud who can't hit an open door, what else do you expect to happen? The entire spine of the team is average and weak, and when your spine is weak, it gets ripped out and you get ****ed in the ass like now.

    To be fair kos obviously wasn't fit enough to start or we all know he would of. This is the backline all the fans have been calling for over the last few weeks while using monreal at CB.

    The team have been dire all round today, wouldn't slate our young backline too much.

    There was time when I looked forward to the 90 mins on a Saturday to watch the beloved Arsenal, now it's so difficult to watch.. I've hung in there for the past year or so waiting for the turnaround, but this is the last straw. The board need to make some challenging and ballsy decisions. Arsenal should not be allowed to be the laughiing stock on the Premiership any longer.

    Yes but it is really risky playing two 19 year olds with an out of form senior CB, away to a tough team. But having little options has led to this risk by Wenger.

    I reckon my response was just about as pathetic as the post I responded too. I think I hit the pathetic level just about right.

    It's the same back four we all would have picked given the options. Can't complain about the choice of players. Being pissed off with the lack of options though is something I'm very much on board wi at the moment!

    This is going to be one painful second half to watch. To be frank, this might very well be the season where top 4 comes to an end, we have barely managed to find any momentum so far, and it's December already, you only have so much time in this league when your s**t form eventually becomes too much.

    I think our slow starts and lack of concentration in the beginning/first half, has been a big problem all season. We really need to be with it much quicker. I think most teams will fancy themselves in the first 10-20 mins against us as we start off so slowly. Wenger needs to put a rocket up them at the beginning, otherwise we'll be playing chase up most of the time.
