Chelsea (A)

Should have gone a bit higher, Welbz. Should have got the little *word censored* on the knee.

[StuartL]

I cannot for the life of me see what Wanker expects to happen each time we play a decent team. Does the *word censored* honestly think that something will just fall out of the fucking sky? Oh and fuck off Ozil.

It's the old double bluff......Mourinho thinks that surely we won't set up as we always do, seeing as they walk through us so easily, but Wenker the crafty fox out thinks him and treats the strongest squad in the league with utter contempt and has no plan to counteract them.

Works a treat right ?

Wenker out

[Brady's left peg]

Atkinson evens it up... lucky boy Welbeck there.

EASY

[Dan_85]

2 wins in 7 PL games.

[Supagoon]

predicted 3-1, standard two goal margin defeat, sorted.

Fast forward to 2017 please.

[Yankee_Gooner_Dandee]

Don't need fabregas because we have Ozil.

[Perryashburtongroves]

What's the point of this fixture? Just don't turn up. It'll be the same result.

[jamjc64]

I think we were laughing at UTD recently. Take a look at the league table. At least we have the champions league. Not that we will win it.

The annual donation of 3 points is finally over...the scoreline may not reflect a bumming.....but in all but scoreline we were fucked in every part of the pitch....Maureen hands out another lesson to Wenger and the prick sleeps like a log on his 8m a year. Burn in hell wenger....burn in hell!!!

[silus]

Can't face the after match interviews/analysis....someone let me know if our beloved manager comes out with anything inciteful or original

at least wenger shoved him. But honestly should have bowled him over, would have us something to smile about.

nice tackle by wellbeck

Don't blame him. Rosicky fannying about and complaining about Fabregas blocking the ball illegally sums up our utter fucking naivety. Should have just smashed the ball and broken his arm if he needed to.

Our naivety is embarrassing. Time and time again they buy cheap fouls from nothing situations. Towards the end of the first half Welbeck clipped the ball round the corner against Cahill who clipped him on a yellow - if he goes down the ref has a decision to make but instead he stayed on his feet despite no advantage. Oscar went in late on Chambers as he cleared the ball down the line after about 70 minutes - if Chmabers goes down holding his leg it's a guaranteed booking, he doesn't.

We let them slow down every free-kick we had by picking up the ball etc, if a player grabs it out their hand and causes a scene it at least highlights it to the ref. When Wilshere took that heavy touch in the first half he could have thrown himself in and got the ball and smashed Cech who has a habit of bottling collisions. Ball could pop up favourably, Cech could hurt himself and they'd be left without a keeper for an hour. Instead he didn't, definitely worth the risk of a yellow.

[Old Oak Gooner]

Can anybody or anyone please explain to me the point of Mesut Ozil?

[SteveO 35]

So what did we learn today....err nothing. We have two approaches to big games - roll over from the first minute and get an absolute bumholing (Chelsea, City, Liverpool away last year) or turn up playing tip tap passing and have absolute zero penetration but at least avoid a pasting (United away last season and again today)

To hear fellow Gooners talking about an improvement.....honestly? Apart from the stuffing at Chelsea last year that was an exact repeat of so many Wenger v Mourinho games. Go one down, they absorb all our sideways passing, break it up on the edge of their area, chip one through ball down the middle to the centre forward who exposes the same soft underbelly time and time again

90 minutes without a shot on target - fantastic. We'll add it to that equally proud day in the Nou Camp

At least that's over for another year. Oh well, no more league defeats now until 20 December
