VILLA AWAY

[northbank123]

DOES SOMEBODY WANT TO TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK WENGER IS THINKING?????

Dreadful but not unexpected one-speed performance. But even the best teams play shit sometimes, but how many points have City and United won through subs? Wenger kept things the same seeing as they were working so well, then decided to bring on Gervinho who was, true to form, infuriatingly bad, and then in the real two fingers up to the fans took off our only decent striker in the entire squad and replaced him with a defensive midfielder.

He clearly believes his own bullshit about the effect of CL games and fatigue because settling for a point at one of the worst sides around is a disgraceful attitude. At least other shit sides like Norwich might get the fans behind them and really up their game when they're on top or go ahead, Villa are just a lifeless, insipid pile of shit. And we matched them stride for stride today.

As a side issue, why the fuck does Jenkinson never try to beat a defender when he's one on one? I want the lad to do well. I really do. But he needs to grow some balls.

He's got decent pace once he's up and running but not great acceleration from a standing start, combined (I assume) with a lack of trickery, so when he faces up to the defender I just don't think that's something really in his locker. When he attacks the full-back with a run-up I've seen him try to beat them on the outside for pace, with mixed success.

It's the amount of wingers we've had in recent years who either have 1 or both of the above, but still end up doing one quaint little drop of the shoulder, dwelling on the ball for another couple of seconds before turning around & laying it square or backwards that's more annoying.

hey, not to worry chaps.

we've got a nice easy game up next on wednesday. Everton at Goodison....anyone know if they are any good at home ? anyone ?......

we're fucked

We'll do well to get a draw up there....fear the worst....

So why was Wilshere even on the bench if Wenger won't sub him on in a drab 0-0 affair?!


Already been said on here, but when Gervinho, Ramsey, and Arshavin are all on the field at once with no recognized striker, who would honestly expect a win?!

He wasn't that sharp today but fair enough really given that he's not played recently. Poor final delivery.

He would've helped, but let's not get carried away. Theo's been a prone as anyone to coming down with a bout of handbreakatosis.

Tactically, the guy is brain dead.

Not just tactically, every which way. There's an unhealthy obsession that burns my very soul that craves the day we get rid of him. It will be the happiest day of my life. He is ruining my fucking life

Personally I don't think Walcott is as good as he thinks he is, but he is by far the most threatening player we have at the moment and he is on form.
Decent player yes, great player, no. Compared to some of the wingers/forwards we have been blessed with in the not so distant past, it shows how far we have fallen if he is our most dangerous player....man, I am depressing myself even further.

It's strange, with 20 mins left - and us desperate for a goal - I wondered if Wenger would be bold and put Podolski up front with Giroud... of course, I knew he wouldn't, but taking BOTH strikers off when you need a goal is just ridiculous!

And why, when we're lacking drive and a create spark does Wilshere remain an unused sub? - he's on the bench, so presumably he's not injured?

Can I also ask, why when it's clear from about 5 minutes into the game that we're lacking drive, inspiration and creativity, do we have to wait for the golden 70 minute mark before anything is done about it? - that games was fucking woeful and yet we just carried on doing the same thing over and over again. It's maddening.

Tactically, the guy is brain dead.

i can only think he was afraid of losing which is inexplicable against that lot.

yes walcott was out, but where the width was i have no idea ? - was gnabry injured ? arshavin carrying a knock ? - we have one of the best headers in the league up front, who's just got 5 in 6, and we don't give him any service.

i think the players looked lost. like, why aren't we being told to tear the shit out of this lot , go 3-0 up by halftime and then slack off ....

when we play Everton, we might keep a clean sheet too - but an away win there doesn't help us when we're 4 points, possibly six out of 4th place.

mental.

i don't hate theo. i feel that he's overrated.

and yes, i think he may of torn this lot a new fucking arsehole.

why we didn't play Gnabry out wide i'm scoobied mate.

Fook me that was dire. Facing a team low on confidence quite young and what do we do, we start slowly and shitely for the millionth time this season. It was Norwich away all over again. If the Benteke that played Manure last week had turned up today we'd have lost that.

AW leaves Ramsey on for 90mins....when did we last win an away game he's started. If Jack's not injured then give him the final 15mins, he might actually hold on to the ball formore than 5 secs.

Oh well onward to the blue dippers, if we play like that against them we will not be getting any thing out of the game.


So far this season v Last season

Mackems H -2pts
Rugby team-away 0 diff
Red Dippers away 0 diff
Shitty away +1pt
Chavs H -1pt
Norwich away -3pts
QPR H-0 diff
Rapists club 0 diff
Fulham H 0 diff
Swampdwellers H 0 diff
Brummie cloggers away -2pts

That's -7pt difference against the shite, not the top teams FFS. Said it before will say it again top 6 at best.

Should be more angry but expected a point at best and they didn't disappoint.

if Theo was a Chavski,man u or city player we'd all be wishing he was playing for us,we should be grateful he is an Arsenal player,when he leaves us in january dont cry when he's tearing us apart

[topgoon]

Why all the talk of Walnutt, got a shoulder injury so wouldn't have played any way.
