this team is so average. we scored a goal in the 1st minute.. and wonder if we had a decent shot on goal the rest of the game. starting ramsey tells me arsene doesn't know what he's doing. what did he expect from him? a layoff that anyone would make to "Assist" the goal? talk about an attack killer. took a serious save from our keeper to not lose this thing... awful effort overall.
when walcott is your best player, that shows how far the mighty have fallen. what has arsene done to this thing?
I don't know, as bad as Arsenal played today, they showed some grit by getting a point. It should have been much worse.
This team is just miserable to watch. I wish I had work to do today so I would've paid less attention.
And yet if Wenger did not play him the fans would be attacking him for not playing Cazorla. Its a lose-lose situation for Wenger in that area.
^ I'm glad you're going with 'toothless'. I shudder to think what the picture for 'impotent' would be.
It just clicked. The team trains one touch and possession over and over and over and over. Maybe practice has excluded movement to such a degree that it's trained out of the players. Perhaps the emphasis needs to be refocused on pass and MOVE than just passing.
I am not to disappointed with today. Remember that Manchester United came and left with nothing. We left with a point and a hard fought deserving point. I felt if we had Podolski then we would have done better but I thought Ramsey did okay, not great or up to where we want him to be but he was not rubbish like he has been. Cazorla was tired today and I feel that with Rosicky now back we can alternate in that position. Vermaelan seems to be coming back after losing out on form earlier in the season. Gibbs looks like a guy who just came back from injury and Sagna is getting better again. Per was Per, brilliant. Walcott has really improved this season and is proving that he deserves a good deal. Hopefully we can get that finished. And Gervinho... well he was only on for a little bit but looked good himself. My only question is why did we not bring on say, Oxlade-Chamberlain? Wenger knows.
I will give you that. But Wenger shouldn't worry about that. The guy has played literally every game. What does Wenger expect?
Didn't get a chance to watch the game. Not at all surprised by the result. This team is just painfully average. Wish we still had Song, Nasri, and RVP. Would make all the difference. Hopefully we've seen the last of our "sell your best 2 players every summer" transfer policy. It's just not sustainable if we want to be competing for the league title.
Also, Ramsey is crap and I cringe every time I see his name in the lineup. Ship him off to Fulham or Sunderland already.
I have to say that's true. Bac was OK on defense today but his crossing was atrocious. Jenks prob would've done better on the latter. Overall we were lucky to get a point. Oh and thank you Sneezy!! (He's a #1 in my book) But where was the conviction in our play?? Patience may be a virtue but there was a football match there to be won boys!!
Well he probably had no choice. I am guessing that, like with Wilshere, it was to early to put Rosicky back on in an intense game that this was and we dont have many more options in the attacking-mid area. Perhaps we could have played Oxlade?
like rosicky would make much difference.....he hardly did the last 2 seasons. the only particularly good spell was in the couple of months up to his contract extension. then he got injured again *rolls eyes*
i mean, really? i get your a negative fan, but really? But ya, in seriousness Ramsey did okay today. Again, I shall repeat, he is not to where the fans want him to be but he was not rubbish. He had some good moments today and yes he also had bad moments but of course (not surprising from you) we shall look at the bad moments only. There is a reason that the fans have given up on Ramsey and somehow Wenger puts up with him. You need to look at Ramsey's positives as well and not just focus on his shit moves.
