It's that time of the year again, when we totally collapse and crush out of every competition.

I said it yesterday, but watching Dynamo Kiev last night was like watching us when we were good. They were so fucking quick out the blocks, one end to the other in seconds. We're so ponderous, our counters have to slow down & wait as every *word censored* is behind the ball, we're useless.

You could just see this type of outcome coming a mile off.

Man Utd soak up the pressure and are incisive and clinical in taking their chances. In all honestly we didn't play that badly but it is just never enough.

We did have some triers out there today but some players will never be good enough and if Wenger still persists with these said players next season then unfortunately we can only look forward to groundhog day once again.

It's win or bust next week. Defeat and the season will spiral down to nothing.

It could have all been so different but then again didn't we all see this coming? It's just all too predictable.

If your definition of "not playing badly" is endless sideways passes on the halfway line & tippy tappy around their box without ever threatening their goal, then you are correct.

The greatest trait of this team is that without doubt they are the biggest collection of LOSERS I have ever seen.

LOSERS to a man.

Too predictable, and I'm too sick of it to even get worked up anymore.

In four key games, against Birmingham, Sunderland, Barcelona and Man Utd, we've scored just one goal of our own making (which obviously excludes the goal Barcelona scored for us).

The defence and midfield rightly has its question marks, but for me, our strikeforce is pitiful. Bendtner and Chamakh are NOT good enough for Arsenal. End of. RVP is, but is always injured and gets hardly any service.

And that's our three strikers.

But we did threaten their goal. Van Der Sar got MOTM. I agree that there was too much tippy tappy but we did create chances.

Knew we wouldn't get anything from the game. Even when I saw their make shift midfield it still didn't give me any confidence.

There's always next year, when the team has another years experience and each player develops more mental strength :roll:

I agree with this. We had 18 chances, and 11 of them were on target. We just have no clinical finishers.

he made perhaps one great save, and the rest within easy range. Good performance, but again, Arsenal fall down where winners succeed.

Wenger, go, now.

Fuck all point in creating them if you don't take them. Manure had 1 chance in the first half and were 1-0 up at half time. I'd rather create one chance that goes in than thirty that don't.

This team is too slow and too one dimensional
