Santos is not a left back; a lateral maybe but not a left back, use him in midfield or sell him.

Podolski and Cazorla deserve a rest, are they going to be run into the ground?

Coquelin preferrable to Ramsey central but he still needs to improve.

Ramsey preferable to Gervinho wide but not by too much.

Gervinho looks so lost out there.

Once again we leave defensive gaps.

We would be mad to let Walcott go at this point in time.

Gnabry very young and should still be in reserves for full games to keep him sharp but on what we saw last game and this then bring him on for 15 minutes a game and let him do his thing.

Seriously who gives a fuck about shitty :roll: We have become so fucking shite that our own fans now take some sort of comfort from other teams doing equally badly.....

That was an utter garbage display and whoever tried to defend santos earlier (by way of rubbishing gales commentary, and by the way he was right most of the night) he has AGAIN played someone onside while all other defenders pushed up, the *word censored* is fucking half asleep, he treats this like a knock about with his mates in some fucking back yard.......fuck the fuck off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ONE shot on target, not only can we not defend anymore.....we can't fukin attack either :banghead:

Was that any different from what most of us expected? A team with good organisation and good ideas quite frankly having a stroll against Arsenal. What has become almost laughable now is how it never changes with the team. No ideas, no chances, no fight, no raising of the pace of the game and no threat to anyone. Still. AGM tomorrow where we'll all be patronized by the board and basically called *word censored* for having the nerve to question the pricks that run the club and team.

At a loss for words at just how fucking shit we were tonight. It's astounding.

Santos ripped a new one all night with no protection all night. Totally impotent up front with no shot on target until the last minute. Shocking defending for first Schalke goal, wrong subs which were far too late anyway...

...as another poster mentioned, this feels like the last days of George's time, a squad a million miles away from the peak of the manager's era.

It's just a recurring nightmare. Wenger won't do the decent thing and he won't be sacked. Stuck in limbo.

Agreed - if coupled with not getting out of the Group stage of this bore of a competition then so much the better. This side and this manager deserve to have their football played out on a Thursday night against the 4th and 5th best teams from Holland and Portugal in front of half empty stadia on ITV4 or whichever shitty channel shows this crap before re-runs of TOWIE or home makeover shows

Pathetic. The one consolation is that football fans are fickle folk and hopefully anyone left sitting on the fence ahead of the AGM will give Le Fraud and P-Diddy Wood, Jimmy Krankee, and Ivan the Terrible the shit they truly deserve for their self destruct project
