Have to credit wenger here. Was important to keep the two DM's on for the whole 90, watching flamini get into more attacking areas was surprised we didn't score. Keeping kos on was inspired. 4 games in 8 days now to give the squad all a run.

Wenger should've gone all out to win today. There was absolutely no point in resting anyone as Barca will beat us easily no matter who we play.

The moment that will stay with me from today was when Ox slashed at the ball from 10 yards out and put it 15 yards wide. Almost a carbon copy of the chance Ramsey had against Leicester that he sliced wide when it was easier to score. Watching us trying to put the ball in the net is fucking excruciating.

First, all 27 passes in the build up must be inch perfect or we have to start all over again. If by some miracle we get to pass number 27 without someone passing the ball straight out of play or falling over themselves the ball may actually go into the box. Now here is where the fun begins. Miss hits, scuffed shots, balls drilled straight at the keeper with the goal gaping, air shots and various other ways to miss that almost defy the laws of physics. Brutal.

That's a perfect description of the shite we've had to endure since about 2008 or so :banghead:

I've passed kidney stones that were less excruciating than this sideways over-passing shot-shy shit. Someone should tell TOF there are no fucking points for aesthetics, but he wouldn't listen anyway :censored:

I'm sure I read once that TOF said that this sideways shit is 'part of our brand' and will never change whilst TOF is here :suicide:

Yeah it was a bit too pedestrian but sometimes the game is slowed down when the opposition won't come out of their half. I really think this can be chalked down to bad luck. Leicester, now that was fucking lucky, and undeserved. We deserved the win today, Hull were shit.
I agree. If Welbeck's header had scored in the first 10 mins of the game we would probably have won 5 - 4.!! Their keeper played great today. If Check does that for us against Barca maybe we have a chance. :barscarf: :barscarf:

There's a reason we're constantly making bang average keepers look like the spawn of Gordon Banks you know...we're fucking w.ank!!!!

It's gonna be a long few weeks.

Performance was ok. All of Welbeck, Walcott, Iwobi and Campbell were lively and played well.

I will put it down to 'one of those days'. Even Sanchez was off the mark again.

None of those saves looked like anything particularly special to me. All were at a comfortable height and around the centre of the goal. It's just that watching us trying to score is fucking painful

Well that's 90 minutes of life I'll never be getting back :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

10 changes for Hull, and we produce a display like that - utterly fucking woeful. The only bright spots were Welbeck and Iwobi, but thankfully TO1AW killed the small amount of joy there was by taking them both off. As for the Ox - he can absolutely fuck right off....I've defended him enough but he's going backwards so quickly now it would be in everyone's interest if he started again elsewhere. Walcott - shocking. Thank god Koscielny was somewhere near his best.

The only positive is that we're still in the hat and they have a fixture pile up as big as ours and are bemoaning it already.

Watching us at the moment is like watching paint dry

Agree 100%. Nice story for the media with the keeper, but one save apart that he tipped on to the post I thought he gave a Fabianski style performance of flying round the goal making average saves look spectacular. Nearly everything we got on target was in the middle of the goal and he didn't take anything cleanly.

Anyone else getting pissed off with how many times Sanchez managed to give away or lose the ball ,it seems to be a feature with him.
