Good set of tennis.
Good set of tennis.
Disappointing performance no doubt about it.
1st Goal - absolute comical error from the immaculate Koscielny - can't stop that.
After that most of the other goals and almost every other chance came from us being ripped apart on that left flank and you have to give Wilshere some stick for adding to that.
Our players were understandable tired. How can they not be after a high energy game on Wednesday night, coming back on Thursday 4am and playing on Saturday morning.
Having said that, we were desperately unlucky with numerous offsides against us, a penalty not given and a disallowed goal.
Our players are looking knackered. We need a top striker in January. Wenger needs to freshen things up.
We can beat almost every other side in this league apart from City and Chelsea.
We've lost today - but its 3 points and we will still be ahead by 2 points even if all other results don't go our way. Wenger needs to remind the players of that.
And the fans need to create one heck of an atmosphere against Chelsea. Win that now and the confidence will be back again in this team.
City are great but we were desperately unlucky.
The most important question now is - hindsight is a great thing. But did we sacrifice midfield security today too much? Wilshere was desperately poor. There's no doubt Walcott should have started as he gives us another striking option and an outlet but should Rosicky have started instead of Wilshere?
Anyway the PL is a marathon and with a weak squad, I suppose we need to give a rest to some players.
Chelsea game crucial now. More for confidence and belief.
Heard about some arguing after the final whistle. That's fine. That's what you need in teams - a winners mentality.
But the team spirit has so far been great in this squad. Get pissed off about it for a day and then Wenger needs to get the players back in and get the spirit back.
Come on you Gunners.
City are too strong, the only hope we have of keeping them at bay is if their dodgy away form continues, otherwise they should comfortably win the league.
Arsenal.
Way to prove the doubters right.
Hopefully we can bounce back against Chelsea but I fear the wheels are coming off soon enough.
Gifted them four goals. Poor defending.
City are a very good side, but that was just letting them look good.
Very good up top at times today btw. Theo's seconds was lovely.
Plenty more football to be played this season. Hopefully a lesson learned....we need to buy real quality in Jaunary though.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Giroud ain't clinical enough and that's the difference.
In a game of few chances you need to take your chances but we didn't. A top class striker a must.
Navas was outstanding for them. Came off the bench and ripped us apart.
Only saw the 2nd half. Thought we actually played OK. Looked good going forward, lack a real clinical striker and City are just too good going forward. Have to get a result against Chelsea.
And Monreal is usually so good but was shocking today.
I'll go with that to a point. But when all the analysis; all the arguments and regrets are put aside. We are not strong enough. Yet. I will still hope that we can build on an obvious improvement this season. But there has been no fundamental change at AFC for the time being.Originally Posted by Darknight02
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Had nothing whatsoever to do with luck. But nothing will be done about it because we've just witnessed a game in "the best league in the world(TM)" - BT Sports gushing - their three monkeys covering their eyes, ears and nose.Having said that, we were desperately unlucky with numerous offsides against us, a penalty not given and a disallowed goal.
