Just awful.

I'd rather us lose to these clowns playing our game at our best than letting them have the run of play all day, and then look surprised when they score.

The 4-1-4-1 behind the bus approach should be reserved for teams better than us, not teams we can beat.

So fixated on the new look defensive set up that we forgot to keep the ball and attack them occasionally.
Rosicky should have been on earlier.
We weren't good enough. Koscielny and Ospina looked rattled today and those calling for Bellerin over Debuchy have some thinking to do.
Crap.

There we go. All the good that was gained doing actually tactics in couple of previous games and now this shit. It was very clear that scum players were much more up to this than ours. Depressing stuff! :banghead: :banghead:

tactics against an out of sorts man city (see totenhams result vs chelsea, and its the same big team shocker) and against a woeful villa.

Today summed up everything that is wrong with Wenger, and his so called tactics. Against City, leaving players back worked very well, but it is embarrassing to do it against Spurs, who are shit. Had we actually tried attacking them, we would have at least got a point. Also, Ramsey needs to be taken out of the team, he has been pathetic all season.

Ramsey was shit but I think that has to be qualified in the sense that Coquelin was sitting very deep and Cazorla nowhere to be seen. Every time he got near the ball Mason Bentaleb and Dembele were on him like flies on shit.
