He's having a nightmare

Atleast the refs being consistent

Can someone tell me when last season ended and this one begun ? Looks like a seamless transition to me. Still with Fran Merida as our new holding CDM, why worry eh Arsene ?
Diaby didn't play out wide.

Well in that case I would like to know why he spent 80% of the first half on the left wing. If you've got stats that prove its only 75% I do apologize. Still obviously upset from trying to remember the imaginary game that Diarra didn't want to play in.....

agreed augie this formation is showing nothing tonight. where is our supposed midfield advantage? traore and silvestre are putting on a comedy show. have to say eboue looked better than sagna as well.

Absolutely pitiful.

we were poor, very poor.

Better now than against Everton, I suppose.

Did Wenger learn nothing from Traore's appearances at left back in the FA Cup and Carling Cup when we were stuffed at WHL and OT. For fuck's sake. The guy is a pretty useful left midfielder with a great cross on him. Woefully exposed at left back

Still AW definitely does know folks.....

Can we have some predictions for Arsene's post match comments please ?

Desperatly need someone with presence upfront. Tonight has shown that neither van perise, bendtner or eduardo can play that lone striker role.

Wenger looks tactilly awfull once again. Anyone can see that bendtner cannot play out wide and that arshavin doesnt get enough of the ball stuck out wide on the left.
