At least Ramsey doesn't hide unlike little Feo.

You cant blame Theo for losing possesion 40 yards from goal. It was Chesneys fault and the first one was too

Why cant we blame feo for losing the ball ? We blame song when he does it so same should apply to feo 8)

Can understand you partially blaming chesney for 2nd goal flash but the 1st ?? :shock: They broke fast and had 2 players v our 3 and yet they still had a one on one with chesney who partially saved it but got no help from defence
Im not saying you cant blame Feo for losing the ball im saying you cant blame him for the goal and i honestly think Chesneys rush of blood for the first goal why was he charging out?

while i agree to an extent tc, before he got injured he was just starting to show real promise. i think we have to give him some time, but he should not be starting games on a regular basis for us. either be a regular sub or go on loan to another pl club.

Arsene is going to kick @rse in the dressing room, throw a couple of cups have a rant hit Ramsey and Song with a boot and we will come out, concede another goal and score four.

5-3 win to the Arsenal.

Bet in play Walcott to score next 8/1, more like 80/1

I know noone will believe me but I've been saying all weekend that I'm more worried about this game than the Chavs. If we don't succumb to a breakaway I reckon we'll win it, but all this does is expose those papered over cracks.

Ramsey off, Ox on asap. And yes I do mean that.

I don't think he's hiding, I just think his game doesn't adapt well to games like tonight.

He's a player who always looks to run in behind but there just isn't the space! - but watch him... he'll keep trying to ghost into space on the off chance someone picks him out (Song should have done in stoppage time but overplayed the pass).

I think in games like this, Chamberlain's clever footballing brain and shooting/passing ability is more useful than Theo's ghostly runs (that's why Theo is so much more effective when games are stretched and disappears in tight games).

Top of the 'Crap corner League' again. Ches could have done better but was horribly exposed.

Rosicky has been the best CM in the League this year and is head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch.

Ramsey looks poor. I hope Arteta is OK because we've nobody else who can play that position.

Sheepshead Song has given the ball away 5 times, been skinned by Moses and his passing is as woefully slow as ever. On one occasion Theo was in an acre of space but Song took 4 touches before passing to Theo who was now double-marked.

We need to improve and play with some more pace.

I still have no doubt that we will win this game but as chippy has said, it is only papering over some very (danielle lloyd size) cracks :lol: Still cannot believe how some fans think that this team is close to challenging again for next season - we dont just need signings, we need key signings and we need a tactical plan that doesnt leave our skipper isolated up front on his own :roll: :evil: :banghead:

The smart move would of been:

Arteta for Ox, move Yossi in Arteta's spot and play Ox on the wing.

But the git in charge can't see that. :roll:
