Dunno wtf the defenders are doing. Arsenal is already playing with back-four and 2 def-mid and they keep conceding crosses. What's the use of their wing defenders if they keep allowing free crosses and free headers and shooting???


Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Hector Bellerin
  • Petr Cech

Comparing with Chelsea, they only have back 3 with 2 def-mid but yet no successful cross?

  • Thibaut Courtois
  • 28
    Cesar Azpilicueta
  • 30
    David Luiz
  • 24
    Gary Cahill
For your info, it's an England defender and a Brazil defender who conceded 7-1 in world cup final.

Its really four wide players & a 10 in the starting line up though... Including one in CM who is not good enough to play in his position. Just suicidal & never going to compete with such a well drilled Conte team.

Defenders will always make errors under such a workload & lack of protection. The team is unbalanced & without a good midfield pairing in the squad.

Conte is proff that a manager plays a major part in winning trophies Chelsea were dire last season I was questioning if it was the end for them. But now his got them playing and they will go onto win the Championship.
Absolutely. The guy took 15 minutes at the half of our match at the Emirates to completely turn around a year of futility.

Doesn't matter that he didn't play today. The point is that we paid more for a lesser player. Old trophy ears wasn't wrong then and he's not wrong now.
Kante had a release clause in his contract and moved a season after joining Leicester for £5.6m. They got good money for a player who had one break out season.

5th league loss of the season. More than Chelski, Lolerpool, **** and Yanited. Heading to Anfield in a few weeks, 3-1 loss nailed on.

This club is a joke now. We need changes, whether its the board, manager, players, fans or whatever, I don't care as long as improvements is made.

Guys, we need to take a long, hard look at ourselves, we might get the sack before Wenger does:lol:

How many times have we seen a cut back in the 6 yard box fizz right by everyone without being challenged by one of our attackers? They always seem to be wanting the ball dragged back outside of the 6 yard box - attack that ****ing space ffs

For a mediocre player who is not playing much, his stats are looking pretty good.
For a player who doesn't start or get on very often his return is nothing short of a miracle. That said what's his position? What was he bought to do? He sure as hell wasn't bought to be the starting striker or starting winger. He was bought to cover Welbeck until he returned. And **** me how many have doubts over Welbeck.

Its not Perez' fault. He seems like a decent player and a decent lad. But we blew 19m on a player to provide cover for a player we weren't sure was good enough to begin with. Not to mention we already have Walcott and Ox for the wide position, if that's where Perez is to play. And if it was bought to be upfront well **** me Giroud is still ahead of him and we've converted Alexis into a striker.

Its not Perez' fault. Arsène has form of spending big sums and having no clue what to do with them or how to get them into the team. We've spent 35m on Gabriel, Debuchy and Chambers and none are close to starting. Yet we lack a competent reliable backup Rb.

Just one of the many reasons for Wenger to go. His spending and correlation to getting players into the squad is horrific.

The worse thing , their not as defensively solid as is made out . If we had more attacking near post and back post and simple passes stretching the defence we would have score a couple , ironically we had the two best chances in the first half .

Arsenal Quotes

Robert Pirès was a fabulous player, world-class, and for a few years, before his injury, he was unquestionably the best left-midfielder in the world by far. He had incredible technique, he was smart, a finisher. He was a killer with a smile, the gentlest man in the world who suddenly drive the ball exactly where it was needed.
