I'd believe twitters take on Coq's injury a lot quicker than I'd believe anything Le Liar has to say about it. So predictable to see it all crumbling down around his ears.

Seriously?
Bellerin's shit, Cazorla's shit.
Have you watched our games this season?

Bellerin's young and can get caught out of position, but he's made endless last ditch tackles, made brave goal line clearences and is generally considered as good as any RB in the PL.
Cazorla's performance has dropped but he's still a good player and his control is as good as any.

I'm sure you're pissed off after today, but let's not assassinate every player we've got.

I didn't see or listen to the game - working - but got a text to say we was one up and thought GREAT! 15 minutes later got another text 2 - 1 to pubic & co...

Listened to 5 live on the way home and heard that Clueless did his usual - flappped his arms about like a demented seagull blaming the 4th official and ref for everything and now with Coquelin out our mid-field defence is also gone.

Until cluelesss GONE we will only ever stand a chance of winning the league cup or FA cup at best - and we are NOT going to win the FA cup for a third year in a row - I wonder what odds I can get on Arsenal's season being over already? :rubchin: ....If we do by some miracle win the FA cup in the next 3 seasons then Clueless is here till he drops dead....the yank wig cunty *word censored* will see to that. :cry: :banghead: :cussing:

This is just 1,000,000% depressing. .... :suicide:


wenger fuck off and take all the shyte players with you.... :cussing: :box:

Our defending at set pieces is woeful.

We always defend the box, but narrowly, and the other team always puts a couple of runners in behind the last man.
Kos is poor at set pieces and we know that the BFG is far from dominant. Giroud sometimes helps, but the rest of the midgets get swamped.
Oh for TA6 or Keown or Bould.

You can understand all the people who say "we won't win the league again under Wenger" because the guy simply won't either A) furnish us with a big enough squad to cope with 5-6+ injuries, or B) do something long term about how many of our players fall to muscle strain injuries (not withstanding the Diabys and Wilsheres of this world). It seemed briefly to be looking up after "Shad" turned up but we're back where we were now.

We can just about get 11 senior players on the pitch and are now resorting to overplaying them because we don't have the staff. Gibbs infront of Monreal is a pisstake, we used to have that as a sub option if Sanchez comes off, now it's a starting policy. Joel Campbell wasn't a million miles away from making it 2-2, but he's never an Arsenal player in the long run.

We have some in-form players like Ozil, Giroud, Coquelin, Monreal, Bellerin who are inevitably starting to go off the boil a biut because they're being overplayed.

West Brom definitely deserved the win and I can see us going on a run of draws and losses now, especially without Coquelin.

Agree with that. It's utterly bizarre that Arteta and Rosicky were allowed new contracts. Both are injury prone so anything good they bring to the table is null and void.

Theo, Chamberlain and Wilshere are just as bad. You simply can't trust these brittle players.

Anyway, the majority of Arsenal fans looked on in horror at Wenger's decision not to sign a defensive midfielder in the summer and if it's true Coquelin is out medium/long term then Wenger has once again fucked up our season with his negligence. You can argue that Coq is no world beater but I fear for our midfield without him. :?

Cazorla's our best penalty taker and was clearly the right person to take it. He fucking slipped over, it happens. Didn't deserve shit from the game anyway.

West Brom fans destroyed our too, all game.

Exactly. By doing fuck all in the window, Wenger's chickens have come home to roost just like we all predicted. We know fuck all however as Mr. 30 years says we've managed zero games and our opinion is shit.

I said Bellerin is shit defensively, not as a player. How is that even up for debate? He gets skinned by that useless lump McClean all afternoon and usually gets skinned by players he is much faster than. He is extremely naive in that respect. I think he will come good defensively but now he isn't up to scratch.

As I've asked before on here with no credible reply, please provide something Cazorla does well for this team on a consistent basis, something? Anything? Passing? Lacklustre and gives it away a lot. Fast? No. Weak and gets out muscled? Yes. Barely scores? Yes. Assists? Once in a blue moon. Doesn't give a shit about his defensive responsibilities? Yes. It's baffling how the press rate him so highly. He was quality in his first season here but has been declining since.

Absolute joke that we have somehow managed not to be in contention for by far the easiest PL to win. You can afford one or two of these slip ups a season - can't afford to be losing these sorts of games unless opposition like this have a blinder and everything goes against you.

More injuries, what a fucking surprise. He was a revolutionary when he came but now Wenger is truly archaic with his training methods and is too fucking arrogant to see the damage its doing.

Unfortunately conceding twice and a complete abdication of defensive duties is par for the course. Fucking embarrassment that Arteta is anywhere near the side, it's just doing the bloke a compete disservice because this is how he will be remembered by many instead of the reliable pro turning in good performances every week.

The bloke will still somehow sell finishing third - miles off winning by far the poorest PL in history - as a decent season.

How depressing! After watching the first half, I had to go out to see our village Christmas lights turned on in the village. Trying to get BBC updates on and android phone with 2g was not easy. Read, Campbell nearly scored, Sanchez came close and that we were passing the Baggies to death. Then saw that Cazola had missed a pen :banghead: :banghead: Took me ten mins after kick off to find out that we'd lost, I knew the score really. A big chance missed to go top, Leicester top - on points.

I don't suppose Vardy is good enough for us, not better than anyone we've got...
