Besides that his team selection was awful. Took out 4/11 of our first teamers for no good reason at all, baffling decision. Monreal has already proven himself better than Gibbs, Bellerin has been a sensation, Debuchy hasn't played a single game in how long? And you're going to play him & Ramsey on the same side of the pitch? Lols. Then plays the Goalie who's lost his first team place after costing us games this season because of his f**k ups & almost coast us this one & took out the striker with the best form in the country...AND all when we've got one game per week ffs. Don't even get me started on substitutions, sat on his arse doing f**k all while the whole world could see how the game was crying out for a wide player on the right.
don't forget the hand ball in the box either, should've been a pen
hahahahahahahahahaaha how the fuck did he get away with that .
Reverting to slow paced tik tak and trying to use not one but two wing backs who have just come back from injury and were clearly not match fit !
Big shout to Debouchy who all but crawled on glass for us !
7 men in front of the ball time and again we were lucky Reading were shit ,a half decent team would have punished us !
Abandoning the recent set up which has seen us win 8 games we play with almost 2 wingers Ozil and Ramsey ,which hasn't worked in the past either,classic wenger !
Coq looked lost in this mish mash set up.
Picking Chez was inspired ,almost backfired on us again !
Next time wenger does that bould should get the doctor to rule him insane and take over for the day
Without the class of Ozil and Alexis and a massive piece of luck we would have been turfed out of the cup.
Saw Sir Bob "be careful...." Wilson sitting there- surely even he must have thought changing all of the back three and our in form striker one of the worst decisions for a long while.
Lucky lucky Arsenal.
Only consolation maybe that looks like BFG is out for a bit so Gabriel will have to play
That would take some BIG cajone's - which he doesn't have, also the ability and willingness to admit - he got it wrong (again) and needs new blood and make sure those coming in are not pampered pussified lightweights.
He would bring in backroom staff who aren't Yes Men - and especially someone who 'Does Tactics' that he is willing to listen to and work with.
Yeah I knowwwwwwwwwwww the stuff of dreams and wishes...but hey! whaddayagonnado !?
We were lucky to go yesterday and wenger underestimated them . To drop Ospina , Monreal , Bellerin , Giroud and play with no width was arrogant and taking the piss. He got away with it but all i am getting is how lucky we were . We should have been all over them as we were over Boro in a previous round when we didnt let them get the ball and bossed the whole game. Playing Ramsey wide was a shocker when welbeck or theo could have got at the defence. Ramsey had a shocker.
And as for that goalie , play him in the final and what will it be ??? Maybe a red card early on !!!!

I agree with you the trouble is he pays these pussies lots of money so they don't want to be shipped out, and he ain't got the stones to clear out this deadwood, sooner he goes the better, I don't give a toss if we do win the FA cup he still needs to go.
Like so many people on here, I've wanted Wenger gone for years, and if there is one big reason why he is disliked so much, its that he never learns from his mistakes. This is a manager who has presided over defeats to Birmingham, Bradford, Blackburn all in the last few years, yet he has learned nothing about underestimating the opposition. We needed penalties to beat Wigan last year, and yet he still put out a weakened team yesterday, and did fuck all to motivate them. I wish he would do the honourable thing, and walk away at the end of the season.
If there's any match when the performance doesn't really matter and it's all about the result, then it applies to a semi final.
I don't give a shit how we won, but we did and we're on our way back to wembley.
Only low point of the day was our shite support in the ground, but I guess that's down to the expectation we would win easily.
Nevertheless, I had a great day and can't wait until the final.
he did get lucky. The fullbacks were the biggest culprits yesterday and the other problem was the lack of width because we have to get Ramsey, Ozil and Santi in the team.
Wengers crazy decisoin making just goes on and on, for the life of me cannot see any reasoning in it at all, only to be cantakerous and go against the flow of opinion, to show he knows best, some weird ego trip......
We all know we was lucky yesterday and got through thanks to Sanchez that guy is a diamond, but who will remember that shit display if we beat Villa in the Final, mind you have to show up this time if we dont we will win get turned over, Villa are dangerous make no mistake at this time, but in Sanchez and Ozil we have players who are game winners
Wengers in play reading of tactics and game changing substitutions seems to be non existent, motivational skills at Zero, Team selection dubious at best.......Im afraid the guy is getting exposed

I know some disliked the commentary / punditry yesterday but Danny Murphy called all the above, questioning Giroud not playing, having Ramsey ineffective out wide, playing Debuchy after being out for 3 months and not match fit.
Can't recall Ospina's "resting" being criticised much, it was generally accepted by the media

Who was the main commentator yesterday? The guy was willing the ball into the net for Reading. A complete wanker, to go along with all the other muppets at BBC, who struggle to hide the fact that they don't like us. I hope Gary Lineker is balling his eyes out when we win the final.
