As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Not sure that is necessarily fair - that is a citeeh team short of aguero, fernadinho and lesbo and they are all integral parts of their team and it is evident how much they are missing them. Citeeh suffer from having two of the most negligent left fulls in world football and chavs are exploiting kolarov for fun. Physically citeeh can usually overpower teams but they look intimidated tonight and I fear that the chavs will score another 1 or 2
I like that it's only the manager's fault when we're talking about Arsenal
So far Pellegrini is being given a tactical lesson and his team looks scared shitless

im listening to that too - no worse than david pleat, chris waddle, or paul walsh commenting on our games (note the common factor there chaps ? ) or graham le saux.
yup, the chavs didn't play by the rules - they bought a DM for less than 45million AHEAD of the transfer deadline, and now he's protecting their wobbly back four and letting hazard, willian etc bomb forward every time city lose the ball.
the cheek of it, who would of thought of strengthening mid season with a fit player ????

Really But I thought everyone including yourself were saying what a fantastic squad they have and won't miss the likes of aguero when it was announced he was injured the other day as they had so many who could fill the void
I'm confused, which one is it
You mention 3 players and say they're struggling, we're missing more than that.
how a back line made up of terry, sideshow bob and cahill have kept city's attack out for 70 minutes has to be a miracle. we were what 4 or 5 down by now ????
it has to be tactics, shape and preparation.
i did wonder what Arsene would think of these tackteecks, but i thought silly me - he's probably watching a nice play or maybe an opera tonight isn't he ?

Aguero is, in my opinion at least, one of the top 5 players in world football and any team would miss him. It is no coincidence that citeeh only tried to buy 2 players last month.....a defensive midfielder and a centre back and when you have demichelles playing then you know you are in trouble. That being said, citeeh have a big enough squad to be coping better than this - they literally are all over the shop and are so fcuking pedestrian it reminds me of us
Re our injured players......we don't have a player in our squad anywhere near aguero's class much less amongst our injured players. We also don't have a DM anywhere near as good as fernandinho

My point still stands mate as now your are just moving the goalposts
A defender that wont/cant head the fcuking ball is not worth a shite imo - kolarov, demichelles and the useless c*ntbag nastasic (should have got red) were fcuking woeful and yaya toure was nowhere to be found when his team needed him
