Really?

Can't blame him for the goals, damn he save one only for ox to pop it in the back of the net. I meant more by tackling one of theres and taking him out then running up the pitch with the ball. Then last minute when Gabriel stuffed up, he chased the ball all over the pitch. A bit like a headless chuck, but wanting to keep the ball out of the net.

1. People talk about strikers needed but the lack of DCM signing over summer was an absolute shocker. In tough away European games a manager with half a clue plays 2 holding mids. Hold the fuck on, this was Zagreb away FFS. What a joke of a manager. Kondogbia or Wanyama couldn't be bought?

2. The striker situation. Absolutely laughable. Dithered over Higuain 2 summers ago. He ain't great but he's superior to Theo + Giroud put together. Jackson Martinez, Vietto, a serious bid for Griezmann etc...pathetic

3. Any club would sack him after that ridiculous window and subsequent losses. West Ham at home, beaten. Awful Liverpool at home, given a 45 minute footballing lesson. Losing to an awful Zagreb. Comical.

4. Now would be a good time to hear from those comedy fans that claimed Benzema "isn't much of an upgrade on Giroud". You know who you are :lol:

5. Ozil cost more than the entire Zagreb squad. Let that sink in.

PATHETIC

What makes us so poor is our multi millionaire A$$hole of a manager. Everything you mentioned is down to him. Can't tell him though cause he knows EVERYTHING. And he has an army of idiotic fans who still support him.Gonna get whacked by Chelsea now as well. There should be a fcuking riot at the club after this.

Thankfully defeats in this competition mean as much to me as the outcome of the boat race so its quite easy for me to sit back and look at the game exactly how it was, void of any passion blurring what's before my eyes

Yet again, we have long spells in matches where it looks like we could play till midnight and not muster up a chance worthy of the name. Ask yourself how a team possessing Ozil, Cazorla and Alexis can manage to do that so consistently? Anything to do with a dullard 4-5-1 formation spearheaded by the bluntest tool in the box? Surely not, as we know that we spent the entire Summer scouting every striker in the world and worked out there was nobody better. The goal we scored came when they were pushing for a third and we caught them out. As soon as they dropped back and organised themselves again, we looked as likely to score as we did for the first tedious 70 minutes

Congratulations Joel Campbell - the most brain dead and ineffective 20 minutes a sub could ever produce, and special mention to Debuchy who apparently had 'thoughts' of leaving during the Summer......well hold those thoughts until January pal and pack your bags because I haven't seen a single thing you've done in an Arsenal shirt that makes me think you can hold your own at this level

Giroud should cough up his weekly wage and reimburse the loyal 1400 fans that our owner and manager do not deserve - for my money two definite bookings that he can have no gripes about whatsoever.

The only consolation for me is that we now stand a greater chance of making the Europa League which I absolutely would prefer to limpdicking it again in the last 16 of this poxy thing.....or even better, getting out altogether so we can concentrate on competitions we might actually win or compete in

Looks like my "Location" prophecy will finally come to pass. At least it won't be on Channel 5
