Not the result I was hoping. A perfectly good goal disallowed. We've got goal line technology it should be allowed to be challenged. Mind useless first half, followed by an all out attack second, yet couldn't see where the goal was from. Skrtal had our best chance. Apparently, 61 attempted shots on goal in 3 games only 2 scored. We need the shooting accuracy of Lee Harvey Oswald up front not Benzema.

Saw someone make the point that if cooling breaks that last for many minutes are allowed for the two weekends a season it's warm in England, then certainly a 30-second stoppage for the fourth official to review video evidence would be nothing.

Technically it looks like the point of Ramseys shoulder is further forward than Skrtles butt therefore technically offside.

Ramsey is the only player I would start Ox over. Ox's giveaways, with Bellerin on the same flank, are a concern. I do like his directness though.

Ramsey is not the problem Ozil is.Another half-hearted performance in a big game.But Wenger will never drop him.My mind always goes back to our best performance of last season away to City when Ozil DIDNT play.The balance was right when Santi and Rambo dominated the game.Playing Ozil is affecting Santi and Rambo because they are not being played in their right positions.

As for Giroud fecking useless but he always has been

It's a typical Wonga team/performance. A midfield packed with central midfielders so no width, a striker who just isn't good enough, and a centre back who is a calamity (Chambers of course). He won't drop Ozil......cost too much. The team does not have balance and will not have a good season, clear to most, but not the man with over 30 years experience. :roll:

Don't agree, they showed the line on slysports and there was clear daylight between Ramsey and skrtl's arse. But a tough call for the linesman. But then again weren't linesmen told to give the advantage to the attacker if he looked level or better? :|

Seriously? Ramsey is not the problem? :shock: Mate, he is currently our worst player that is getting regular starts. Over elaborates, always chooses the difficult and wrong option, always flicking and backheeling needlessly (90% of which cost us possession), his passing is either underhit or overhit. Whilst I agree that Ozil is not the greatest, and can be frustratingly meh during games, I'd have him in the team ahead of Rambo if only because he can open up a defence with a weighted pass every now and then and certainly loses the ball a lot less when under no real pressure, something Rambo does regularly. :|

We have far too many central midfielders shoe-horned into playing wide, where they add no width as it's not their natural game. If we don't have genuine wingers (we don't) they why persist with this stupid formation for year after year?

Nothing will change whilst Wenger remains.

So many times yesterday our full-backs/wide players were getting into dangerous positions and nobody in the box for a pull-back except Le Slug. Ramsey was bagging hatfuls of goals in 2013/14 from making great runs at the perfect time and getting on the end of these. He's just not doing that before and for all their guile Ozil and Cazorla don't make those sorts of runs.

For the first time in a while yesterday Ramsey started making clever, driving off-the-ball runs in the second half yesterday. Unfortunately he was out on his feet by this point and couldn't make the most of it. The balance just isn't right in that midfield at the moment and needs a change - Ramsey just shouldn't be starting every game.

Giroud is painfully fucking average. Stack him up against the likes of Aguero and Costa and it's fucking laughable. He's hit the fucking jackpot hasn't he, coming to a club he shouldn't have a hope of being a regular starter at and getting £100k+ a week chucked at him.

Also Coutinho is brilliant. What a fucking waste sticking him in that side.

Ramsey is being played out of position by our clueless manager.He is not a winger.Ramsey is stuck on the wing to accomadate Ozil.Its not rocket science.Its bad management
