Swansea match

we found our level, scrapping it out with relegation fodder at home.

the ramsey incident at the end summed the whole thing up. 4 arsenal players on the break against one swansea player and he passes to the swansea lad

We really are screwed this season. Shaky defence and an invisible attack. Don't see how we can get 4th this season if this is how we perform against Swansea at HOME.

Ramsey is fucking shit.

Failed to score more than one goal in our last eight league games at home.

Of course they need time to gel. If losing Nasri and Cesc wasn't bad enough, we've also lost Vermaelen and Wilshere; that's 4 of our best 5 players (Van Persie being the other).

That's a massive disruption.

You can't lose all those key players and expect there not to be a period of transition.

So yes, this 'new' Arsenal will need time to gel.

And lets not forget, it's NOT the players fault we're in this position, it's the management!

Anyway, today was never going to be pretty. We got the 3 points though.

I think this game showed it's time for 4-4-2....draw would have been a fair result but i suppose luck is what's needed at present.Not going to bitch,what's the point, but if Wenger don't change tactic's then a Europa spot will be a struggle.

Cesc was on the the treatment table a lot of the time.

The main players today have played together a lot but it's the same old story and predictable performance every time.

They will hopefully improve and they will need time but they will be playing the same way unless AW has a lightbulb moment.

AW should never let us get into a position of having an average squad and losing our best players. There should have been quality players ready to take their place.

Did you lot see the save Shezza made early in the game?

Un-fucking-believable.

dead-end performance (wenger just sits on the bench again twiddling his thumbs while we're under the kosh). the only positive is that it ended in 3pts so happy days to that extent

afaik chamberlain wasn't even on the bench???

this dude completely ran the show in england u-21's last 2 games yet he was given the cold shoulder today

Why the fuck did Wenger have Young & Chamakh on the bench ahead of this young lad. He'd never use both of those players in the one game. We had no one on the bench to come on for Walcott, who notoriously deteriorates performance wise as the game goes on.

Real shambles by Wenger today, who is fucking blessed Graham missed that sitter.

Onwards & upwards though huh

Difficult to tell the difference between the teams.That tells you all you need to know about the new Arsenal.

Wow we really are far shitter then I thought.
4 league games on the trot now we have been absolute piss poor. Sure Liverpool lost today, at Stoke away, we will not win there.

Its hard to pinpoint what went wrong today, I thought we were poor all over the pitch. Arteta, Mertesacker and Chez were the only decent performers. Chamakh and Le Coq were good when they came on.

Ramsey was so fucking shit once again. Every game this season he has been piss poor. That last pass summed him up. He doesnt even look fit in the slightest and hes not the only one. He walks around most of the time.

If we want to do anything this year, he cant start games. Hes off form badly, he surely cant start the next few games. Song or Coquelin will have to come in, hes just so bad atm.

Our formation and tactics are terrible, we have zero creativity now without Wilshere.

Did we lack sharpness Arsene?

Gary Cahill lost at sea for united's opener, suppose Arsene done something right

United are on another planet to us right now. They have improved alot and we have went back alot. Even beforehand they were comfortably better.
