He's certainly not prepping the team on the oppositions game plan. Cesc has confirmed this himself, that they concentrate only on their own game in training :? We know he certainly doesn't coach defence in any proper way. I can only assume training sessions consist mainly of working on their sprinting & one touch passing.

Useless.

Arsenal were a disgrace - and should refund the money for the poor sods who travelled up there on a Monday night and sung their hearts out.

United were there for the taking but we had absolutely no belief. No shots on target that I remember. One of the most embarrasingly inept performances in recent memory!

Whilst ever we keep conceding the first goal like we do, we will have problems.

Whatever anyone says, Utd played ultra defensively after the goal. Soaked up the pressure and then hoofed long balls up to Rodney and Nani. This tactic is not possible at 0-0.

Passing was shocking tonight. I know we probably wanted Barcelona's record of 900 attempted passes, but there is little point if you only complete one third.

If we fail to win the Premiership this year it says far more about our failings than the strengths of whoever may win it and there is no way around that.
And that's been the fucking story for three years now. If Wenger opened his fucking eyes and realised that by stregenthing key areas and bringing in the RIGHT sort of players, we would win the league. But, he won't so we won't.[/i]

The players look like they get sent out there with no idea or confidence in the tactics and get exposed over and over again against the big boys. What the fuck is Wenger doing before we play these teams because there's no improvement.
Yes exactly, against Chelsea we played OK but we were just shocking today. Arshavin is just a wanker, I don't care if hes got 10 assists he has done nothing in the big games and is one of our most talented players. Clichy did alright but again makes costly errors. Song played much better defensively but was woeful in their half. I don't know why he threw cesc on, nasri looked better when he was in the centre.

I have backed sagna and clichy on here so many times over the past couple of seasons when they have been slated but after tonight no more.....they were fcuking shit but what is far more frustrating is the total lack of passion from the pair of them :evil:

Song is what I always said he was.......somewhere between average and shite :roll:

Chesney did ok and I thought that kos was out-fcuking-standing but the rest can go fcuk themselves :evil: :evil: :evil:

BY THE WAY CAN I REQUEST THAT INSTEAD OF SEEKING TO START THREADS SLATING KOS PEOPLE MIGHT ACTUALLY LOOK AT HIS OLDER AND MORE EXPERIENCED PARTNER FIRST ? :banghead: :banghead:

Wenger I hope you're feeling proud right now, you useless cretin.

Wilshere, Song, Chamakh, Van Persie, Arshavin and Cesc were all shite. Walcott and Nasri were the only players who looked like they were going to actually create something.

It's all my fault, sorry lads. I believed that maybe we had a bit more bottle and would be up for big games.....clearly not. I promise not to think stupid things again.

Clichy was absolutely appalling, and Song and Sagna weren't far behind. Usual defeat that I fully expected, so no glitz and glamour from BBP tonight folks.

And apparently we played so badly, the Chilean miners wished they were stuck underground again.

I actually feel sorry for the miners. Bet their time underground went quicker than that......
