QPR match thread

[1989]

My points stands.

I think our best CB partnership is Koscielny-Mertesacker. Can't wait to have the giant German back.

Well well well. All the plaudits were out. The champers was flowing. The plaudits were flying. It was 'Arsene has recovered again'. There was even talk of a 'Top 4' trophy.
A lot of arrogance swanning about and talk of how we had already overtaken Spuds.
New contract for Roshitty. Back to his usual rubbish self today.
New contract offer for Song. £75k a week. Well worth it.
£55k a week Aaron Ramsey is on, but he'd look lost at Wigan.
It's been comical watching the AKBs coming out of their shells with 'Arsene will definitely change this summer'

LOL

'Top 4' (whatever that means) is far from assured. This defeat proves what anyone with a functioning brain already knew: this squad is poor, worst Arsenal group of players in 15 years, there is a shocking culture of complacency at the club. A manager with absolutely no tactical know-how, no fight (reflected in limp displays the players give) and a disgusting culture of rewarding mediocrity that has seen Djourou, Rosicky and soon Walcott and Song, to be offered ridiculous pay deals - all funded by the paying Gooner.

And for what? For a 'top 4' trophy.

But hey. Let's all pull together for CL football. That way we can use that cash to sign all those amazing players we need to attract (from Ligue 1 France like Gervinho). Oh and RVP, he will definitely be up for staying. Great bench options Arsene. £7.5 million per year we pay you for that shite. Wonderful. Simply wonderful.

Agree with every word. Nothing has changed with Wenger, or this team. Pathetic team selection - where exactly was Ramsey playing today? That guys is a total liability. Pathetic substitutions. Gervinho is hopeless, Chamakh is just laughable (I actually feel sorry for him now). Where was the "super quality" Park today? Wenger is responsible for today's result. Yet again dreadful tactics that allowed us to be defeated but one of the worst teams in the league.

rosicky didn't play badly, he tried to drive forward but just didn't have the options in front of him

Can't argue with our home form, but away we still look vulnerable.

Today shouldn't surprise anyone. Even in our 3 recent away wins (Liverpool, Sunderland and Everton) we've been mostly poor, and could have lost all 3 on another day (in fact, we lost at Sunderland in the cup and humiliated in Milan during this recent league run, so it's not all rosy away from home). The win at Anfield was daylight robbery ( ), at Sunderland we needed an Henry stoppage time special to sneak a win, and at Goodison we were on the ropes for bloody ages - and they scored a perfectly good goal!

Our away form has been poor all season. The recent away results just papered over the cracks.

Pleased with our home form though, so lets go and beat Citeh.

poor formation
poor performance

no excuses today. I guess Wenger can't get it right every time

The problem for a good while is not that he can't get it right every time, but that he get things wrong so often!!

this.

[Rosie_titters]

hopefully just a blip, our good form had to come to an end sooner or later, and not blaming players but apart from two errors by Vermaelen, they wouldn't of scored - need to cut the silly errors out again and we will be fine -

get behind your team lads, we still can get CL footie and 3rd - stop abusing Wenger and the squad everytime we lose

[augie]

I think the criticism of tv5 is slightly over the top - he was absolutely fcuking dire today and was at fault for both goals for sure but that doesnt make him a bad defender. I actually suggested yesterday (on the 2nd mvp this season thread) that tv5 has looked far from assured lately and today was just another example of that.

Re the best partnership at centre back I have recently suggested more or less the same as 1989 has done on this page - for me the best pairing is bert alongside either kos or tv5 cos partnerships are about balance and I am not convinced that positionally these two (kos and tv5) are compatible

I said similar to this before. Every week we seem to play badly, in the post-match reports you regularly hear "Arsenal weren't at their best." Thats said every single week! A lucky win against Everton, three very narrow wins against Sunderland, Liverpool and Newcastle... Not a coincidence.

[Rosie_titters]

TV5 and Kos are out best CB - mertersack is shit, our form has improved since he got injured and Kos and TV have done well together

just had one of those days, Mackie and Zamora were given clear instructions to keep jumping in to them -

[Chippy]

OK which one of you has a job at F365?

Our form has improved since the vastly under-rated sagna returned

if it wasnt for the post we never looked close.....wenger and the whole team was garbage for 94 mins against a relegation qpr....the magnificent 7 run had a massive load of luck involved....cl group stage/quarter final knockout again?..not guaranteed at all...pressure built by our own hands! mental strength usually lacking....bottling and blowing it all is very possible

[BournemouthRED]

We ran out of luck, end of!

[Red Member]

Yes it was disappointing today but a pity to see the usual disgraceful comments on here following a defeat
At least the players have more mental strength than most of the contributors on here
