We're such a dysfunctional side that it's impossible not to be worried. We play like strangers half the time with players who don't seem to compliment each other, bottle chances and prone to all too frequent brain farts, which is ridiculous considering the continuity in manager and players we have at the club
but I really hope we can do enough to beat United; to not do so would be a huge psychological blow to our title chances.
We can't keep chucking away chances to get a firm grip on the title; it's now or never so come on Arsenal!
Well, I can't say I'm surprised but seriously disappointed with how pathetic we played against United reserves today
utterly woeful performance by a bunch of strangers who seem to have zero relationship and compatibility on the pitch
Leicester and Sp*rs have less so called stars in their team but they compliment each other and work as a team to ensure the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Arsenal on the other hand are weaker than the sum of their parts because they're dysfunctional and poorly managed.
Ramsey pulling the strings in centre midfield? fuck me, he couldn't be less up to the job
it was excruciating to watch him slow play down and lose the ball all afternoon.
It was even more painful to watch Theo Walcott give yet another performance that you'd expect of a 16 year old trying hard to make his mark on the Premier League. The guy is so off form, and so unreliable, that it was insane to start him today ahead of Giroud. Ridiculous decision.
And the substitutions! - my God, Elneny for Coquelin.... why? Iwobi for Welbeck.... why? Neither substitution changed anything tactically. Surely a change of system at the very least to give United something different to think about?
To be honest, my respect for Wenger as a manager is so low these days that I'm not sure today changes anything. But it does confirm what we already knew; the guy is a busted flush and we need him gone. Pathetic day for Arsenal football club. Pathetic.
