Same as the Saints game pretty much but we didn't get effed over by lady luck this time

Nothing like that game. Didn't create one chance that day

If we dont begin to put more effort in this and begin to fight in the middle we wont win this. If we concede first then I cant see us winning this.

Commentators pointing out our lack of cohesive pressing plan. But what do you expect when you have a spine of Mertesacker-Flamini-Giroud? Wenger's insistence on playing the same XI regardless of the needs of the game is confusing. Does he want to sit deep and counter? Or press high and dominate the midfield? At the moment it's a bit of neither.

Up until the first we had the better chances. Shame they fell to our left back.

Lets be honest, there is no real balance to our team at the moment. Wenger is simply hoping we grind out results till we get some players back.

But which players are we expecting back any time soon?

Wilshere would have been a big plus as I think he is more better suited to replace Santi than Ramsey. Welbeck is better than Ox and campbell in my opinion and makes less mistakes.

At the moment we dont have any control of football games.

cant see how we can consistently win games without Coq,Santi and Sanchez coming back fit by end of Feb latest.

midfield or what of it, is just to weak and being strolled through.

Yeah we don't hammer teams as we're generally more solid. The seasons When we used to smash teams, we also used to concede and get beaten more. (Talking post 04)

Arsenal 0 Newcastle 0

Leicester 0 Bournemouth 0

Half-time Scores:

Man Utd 0 Swansea 0

Norwich 0 Southampton 0

West Brom 0 Stoke 0

Sunderland 1 Aston Villa 0

It's matched like this that keeps the bulk of us pessimistic. We've all seen it far too many times. If we're title favourites, the league really is a mess in terms of quality this year.

Let's hope the 2nd half wakes this lot up from their slumber. Just need the three points.

We have to score really earlier to hammer teams.

Ozil is great at assisting but he still gets muscled of the ball too easily at times. Ramsey doesn't have the tekkers to control and pass in mf and flam is just flam

Wilshere and welbeck will most likely not feature much this season. Coq and cazorla late next month I believe

Other than Coq, rule the rest out for season.

Its about our midfield. We dont dominate neither we win the the balls. Our midfield gets dominated. No accurancy in our passing dont help either.

when is cazorla meant to be back then?

Nobody really batters teams much anymore the league is too competitive for that

fu ks sake ive got fu kin ozil as captain, why arent you guys winning 4-0.

Southampton did other week

To win we Have to rely on ozil playing well, and Giroud or Walcott or whoever to be able to finish. We won't dominate games at all with this midfield

true, in general not many hammerings in the league, every game is tough

it's good though, prefer this type of league then when it was more predictable

Liverpool 4-1 Man City, Southampton 4-0 Arsenal, Spurs 5-1 Bournemouth, Newcastle 6-2 Norwich, Palace 5-1 Newcastle. That's just off the top of my head.

Quality does suffer, but I'm with ya

Giroud 100% passing accuracy

to be fair to Ramsey he is actually great defensively although most of his goodwork is up the pitch that means once he is bypassed he is caught out of position.

we actually miss Sanchez and Welbecks pressing. Thats why I keep insiting Welbeck is a big miss as his pressing along with Sanchez would allow us to press better. We are literally forced to sit back as we simply dont have the intelligence to breakdown teams that sit back.

you need smarter wiser players and sadly Campbell, ox, Bellerin just dont have the ability as yet.
