Redknapp may well be right about the spuds finishing above us. At least we have Puma though!!
Wenger is in total statistics mode. Avoid fatigue, avoid injuries, avoid, avoid, avoid. End up in us avoiding a performance. Can't win by being safe all the time.
Für eure Sicherheit
Why wasnt a second sub made? Why wasnt Podolski brought out? What was the point of Sanogo ahead of Gnabry? Horrible man management by Arsene.. His new deal must be torn up till the end of the season.
Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Missed it, mercifully, due to MrsL's birthday.
Adzz kept me up to date and from early on I could see how it would go.
Same old Arsenal...
This side plus a proper striker would win the title or go very close. Giroud tries his best but frankly he's not good enough.
Didn't think we worked hard enough from the off, expected a higher tempo and more closing down.
Man U are rubbish this season, 5 defeats out of 9 games this year with just 3 wins and one was in the cup when they got knocked out, don't kid yourself they were there for the taking.
Today was about 3 points, anything less isn't good enough after getting hammered at the weekend, especially when playing at home.
We didn't have that many chances at goal, Cazorla was the pick in that regard, but Man U had 3 clear chances despite playing sh*t.
Reasonably fair comment.
One thing that bugs me though, is the inability to really really really want it.
When you have your fullback out wide in space looking for an option, absolutey nobody other than Giroud is looking to get in the box.
Every player moves towards the ball for a short pass. Nobody ever runs off it to create space, or get on the end of something.
Please. It's sooooo frustrating.
All said and done. It's same old. Should have won, but couldn't see it through v UTD.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Giroud has been sack of shit for months now. Ironically, we had 3 strikers on the bench tonight but none get to play.

FFS what is with our inability to beat these cunts? They're so fucking shite and yet we can't take them apart, we were just too scared to have a go.
No pacy runners in the team at all, everyone's a slow midger number 10 attacking midfielder.
Ozil. Yes.
Santi. Yes.
Rosicky. Yes.
Jack. Yes.
Giroud ..... yes. No one can run with pace and get behind a defence. I said it in the match thread before kick off but not having Gnabry on the bench was mental, he's one of the few players who can do it.
Losing Theo spelled the end of our title challenge it seems.
Insipid stuff really.
Still enough chances to win though.
When we were on top towards the end, Wenger just continued with the status quo by bringing Ox on for Rosicky rather than going for the win by bringing our best finisher Podolski on or even Bendtner/Sanogo.
We're on the verge of letting all our good work just evaporate into nothingness and Wenger is seemingly not interested in doing much to change that.
Just hugely disappointing.
Decent games from Cazorla,Ozil and Gibbs. Szczesny superb again. Wilshere and Rosicky awful and Wenger does Wilshere no favours by keeping him on when he's on the verge of getting injured/getting sent off/harming his own team.
At least we haven't conceded at home for ages.
