NOT VERY GOOD

What Wenger really needs to learn out of this defeat is to make at least a different tactical approach against these kind of defenses. He has no clue to play against a defensive team. It was the case against Monaco who punished us, it was the case against Chelsea and it lead to another unnecessary defeat tonight.

You had chances from 6 yards out, just didn't take them. Hardly Wengers fault.

Sanchez seems blameless. Selfish and missed sitters tonight

Yes he did miss a sitter but still worked hard. Hence a 5 rating.

I would suggest that if you'd knocked it like Swansea did you'd be giving them all 7/8's out of 10 for those same performances.

Why can't you give credit to Swansea for stopping you?

Well, because they didn't really. Poor finishing, and a dreadful mistake cost Arsenal the game.

Apart from the finishing it wasn't bad. We should have won by at least two goals.

TBF, this article sounds like it has come from a spoilt child who has got the wrong toy for Christmas.

Garwood,
Quite an understatement! This was a mess, and Swansea did what Arsenal couldn't, they scored. Once again, 80% approx. possession doesn't matter if you can't put it to good use.

One question for the experts out there: Why was Giroud, the only big forward, taken out of the game and yet Arsenal continued with high crosses into the box? Maybe Wenger can explain those tactics?

For sure, if Arsenal reverts to their 20-touch slow motion game, Aston Villa will take them apart in the F.A. Cup final.

Why is it that if Arsenal had won, you'd be giving 7's to many players? But a late loss, means they suddenly turn to 5?

Good question. I have no answer for.

One thing I know for sure. People who want Theo to play as a lone striker are wrong. He can't play on his own. He is a winger and nothing else.

Theo suddenly looked very small and terrified, like a kitten told to catch a mouse amongst a pack of dogs.
