Poor performance. Much better result needed against QPR. Down to 2nd, but we should still be able to get out of our group.
Does it really matter his age? If he plays well I could give a **** if he's 16, 50, or 100? Though the older players should take a good look at themselves. Eisfield, Wilshere, Olsson and those guys are playing better than them ATM.
This was a game we needed to win. Now we have to play Schalke away, as well as Olympiakos. We'll be lucky to scrap through this group and even if we do, we won't finish top seed. Will probably get Barca or Real in the last 16 if we make it... oh joy.
Schalke 04 +3 7 Arsenal +1 6 Olympiacos−2 3 Montpellier−2 1 Not all doom and gloom, but the 2nd half performance needs to be seriously looked at
Yes... because it took a kid to take our only shot on goal. That's pathetic. Although you are right, the senior players need to take a long hard look at themselves.
Wenger would have done all the preparation and selected the team. The only part Bould did was decide when to make the changes and the half time talk. Im not too impressed with that part. If hed taken Santos off or moved him forward and left Jenkinson on I think we could have got something from the game. The other subs could have been used to get the win after that.
Not good enough again. We're really missing Diaby in midfield and without Walcott and Oxo we had very little penetration on the flanks. Not sure what to say about Gervinho, Podolski and Giroud, they are not offering anything near enough at the moment.
Honestly I could care less about that? He's a professional player so that's all I give a damn about. And even better that he's young, he then has more years to improve. BTW when is Gibbs back? We've missed him.
Oh i see , thanks for clearing that up. Bould told the board to that Gervinho and Giroud was just what we needed . Bould gave them their positions in the setup. Wenger had ZERO input with anything in that dross today .? THAT team , and THAT tactical setup had nothing to do with Wenger. gotcha .
Gervihno-He's been crap on the wings. Play him through the middle or don't play him, Send him on a spell with the reserves first Podolski-Play him in his favored position, not this wing bullshit Giroud-Give him ****ing crosses and he'll score FFS We are missing Diaby, though Jack should be back for QPR. Walcott and OXO are big misses too.
The thing, although I never expect us to go very far in the CL in recent years, we rarely struggled in the group stages. This season, I don't know how we got 6 points prior to this game. We've been found out though and surely heads will roll.
