Besiktas away

what a surprise - 0-0 from a 451 with Giroud who can't play the lone striker and Wilshire 'bossing' the midfield.

how many times does wonga need to see this result against poor opposition and think " i need two upfront, caz alongside Giroud, and some pace and directness in midfield..."

[WE8SPURS]

Cazorla isn't a left winger at all yet Inspector Clueless insists on playing him there, no wonder he's ineffectual. Remember that chance he had near the start where he cut in from the middle & dragged a shot just wide of the post? That's where he should be playing.

Giroud doing his best Bendtner impersonation. Midfield offering nothing. Sanchez with some nice bursts of pace but literally everyone else is about half a mile behind when he breaks forward so he's gotta try and do everything on his own.

Not a great game. 0-0 is a nervy scoreline if it ends like this, i'd take 1-1 though.

Wenger's obsession with playing players out of position makes me mad. Drop Jack, Caz in the middle Ox/Campbell out wide, you then get the best out of Cazorla and give him and Rambo an outlet on the wing with extra pace in the attacking third. Simple really.

It's no different to the England situation over the years, everyone knew Gerrard/Lampard couldn't play together and actually held them back but no manager had the balls to drop either.

If you have the best two keepers in world football at your club you could only play one of them at a time, you wouldn't play one of them instead of say Monreal (actually probably would, bad example) just because they are better in their position than he is in his!

2 great early ops and for them

[clockender1]

Looks like our most midfield runners are trying not to over commit so Sanchez runs, crosses and finds no one in the box.

thats because they know our tactics leave us wide open on the break to get raped, as we did against City, Chavs and Liverpool....

Arteta coming off? Blessing in disguise

[Nos89]

Need Campbell on for santi a bit of pace on the left. flamini on for wilshere and hold the midfield.

[OneBardGooner]

Arteta out for how many weeks? any offers!?

[OneBardGooner]

Our passing is about on par with the game against CP on saturday!

[OneBardGooner]

We need Ox and Cambell on - they win us the game!

[the playing mantis]

maybe it will force wengers hand

[flash gunner]

Flamini is a liability

[OneBardGooner]

So much for tough turks - Bunch of pansified pussycunts

[WE8SPURS]

maybe it will force wengers hand

Don't forget we have Diaby, who like a new signing negates the need for a replacement even if Arteta got a career ending injury

Bilic's chit chat obviously worked, ref keeps blowing against us.

Bilic's chit chat obviously worked, ref keeps blowing against us.

Embarrassing really. Completely undermines the ref to stop the game, go over and talk to the manager in front of all the players, the entire stadium and TV audience and then for Bilic to clearly pay him no respect and continue shouting at him until he backs down and walks off. And then throwing around yellow cards to our players like confetti doesn't help.
