Let's be fair. You're a total wanker.Demun210 wrote:Bartley's got to do better there I'm afraid. I usually sympathise with defenders having to try and clear a ball when facing the goal they are defending, but there wasnt much pace on that cross. I would expect the defender to get his foot properly under the ball to clear. Defending was very suspect there.

Get your head out of Wenger's back-side and wake the fuck up. We are a fucking joke.

So was the fact that TH was just watched as he did a 3 point turn on the edge of our box.Demun210 wrote:Bartley's got to do better there I'm afraid.

Physically, we were a little short.

Unfuckingbelievable. No pride on display from Arsenal at all. Bunch of primadonnas just jogging around waving to the fans, trying the odd backheel... FFS.
Henry was the only winner on the pitch. He took time from his actual professional season to come play a friendly and he clearly took it more seriously than any of the Arsenal players.
Meanwhile our same failings were evident. Piss poor defending, a toothless attack, and absolutely zero creativity from the midfield without Nasri or Cesc. It's going to be a long year at this rate.

We might be getting somewhere Mr Demun.Demun210 wrote:Not blaming Bartley at all, just saying think he could have done better there. Possibly being a bit harsh on Bartley, but I think more often than not, the defender clears that.frankbutcher wrote:Are you blaming the draw on Bartley.Demun210 wrote:Bartley's got to do better there I'm afraid.

Agree that something needs to change though....for the amount of attacking posession we have, the number of clear chances we actually make is stupidly low.

Tippy tappy + piss poor defending = never win another trophy under Wenger.
