No not ok.
If we all know what Cesc can do and what Denilson can't why are you so surprised?
Did you expect more from Denilson today than Cesc? I doubt it highly. Cesc carries the hopes and future of this club on his shoulders, Denilson does not. You cannot be surprised if Denislon doesn't deliver he's not supposed to.
Have some balls and get on Fabregas back tonight, if you dare. I'm sure many will back you up but for fuck sake get on it either way.
The point is DENILSON should not wear OUR shirt...Cesc can't play with this useless *word censored*
Cesc is comming back from injury and so is Diaby so I can understand why they may not be upto full sharpness. Wenger needs to look at himself and ask why arshavin did not play. RVP is useless on the wing he has no pace and tends to cut inside too much which when you are playing as a winger in a 4-5-1 formation you can't afford to do. Denilson what can you say other than he did ok its normal for him to give the ball away in the middle of the pitch which then allows the other team to counter-attack.

100% agree.
Diaby is just back from injury, he has not have a full game yet before this game. Then why use him today? Only AW knows the answer

How can he not play Song today? he has been our best player for the past month, and man of the match on wednesday night! its crazy to start diaby, who has been injured for 3 weeks, ahead of him, secondly, how the hell can you leave our freshest player, Arshavin, on the bench? he must have been roaring to go!!!! what the hell is he saving him for? tuesday night????
Chelsea did not win the game today, Arsene Wenger lost it. I hope he pulls his finger out for the CL because if we go to manchester and play like we did today, it dont matter how bad united have been recently they will batter us!
On a good note, the support today was absolutley fantastic, even after we lost, it was only us gooner that you could hear down wembley way.... shit club, shit fans, no history.
Top post Mike although our support could have been better than it was, fragmented singing, the new Wembley? I didn't like it. Cashley didn't get no stick at all!
Where was Adebayor? What was wrong with Diaby? Why did Denilson go back to being Denilson? Was this a one-off for Cesc, delayed reaction to his long injury?
The team started as though they believed winning was possible. After Fabianski's near-post misjudgement the belief just drained away and we really needed the experience of Arshavin and even Sagna to get back on track. But we never recovered: and with Diaby's nightmare, Cesc's under-par performance and the final defensive debacle the writing was on the wall for most of the second half. Arsene's unfathomable substitutions made it worse.
What about a word for Theo? He could have won the game single-handed but it was just beyond him. Let's look at it the only way we now can. Wenger must learn from these mistakes and pick the right team for OT. After yesterday, can any of us be confident he will?

I'm not, ok we were 'hamstrung' yet again by injuries, but Song should have started ahead of Diaby (who should now be promptly fucked off in the summer)
just to echo evrybody elses thoughts i am completley confused about wengers starting lineup a couldnt beleive it was out watching it and got completley ratarsed on sambuca after it to try dull the pain
fabregas has been useless for about a year now but u cant critisise him or u get hung. we are a long way behind the big 3 just in front of everton , spurs and everton. next season we will be behind even them. u cant win an fa cup semi final with dennilson, coward eboue, sylvestre. diaby ,an awful keeper playin in ur team. non of them would get in any other premiership side. thats wy we were rolled over yesterday.
To be honest whilst partly to blame for the first goal, I thought eboue did ok and made some very good last ditch challenges. Something that maybe hasn't been highlighted was Silvestre's performance, as his biggest critic I thought he was our best player yesterday, kept a cool head. I know he was involved in the second goal, but once fabiwankstain came charging off his line Silvestre's only option was to try to cover him, which alas he didn't have tha pace to do.

Blimey Sid, you have calmed down mate
I thought Silvestre's distribution yesterday was terrible IMO..

Are you serious Sid? you honestly believe Silvestre was our best player.That beggars belief

Unlike many I watched the game in total sobriety, not saying I'm right but he seemed our most composed player. But at the end of the day what the fuck do I know, I have been drinkin all day in the garden and have to get up ar 6-50 for work.
