Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [7th - 12th February 2014]

Oh dear this is like watching a car crash...

I'm only watching a crappy stream but it looks like we've selected people from the crowd.

It must be DMs birthday lol

Oh well, a loss is a loss. Let's keep it in single figures lads...

WTF is Mertesucker doing that far in our half? Have they not learnt after 4 goals that they shouldn't be playing so high up the pitch?

I can't believe between Bould/Wenger after 4 goals they haven't said, hey, how about getting closer together and staying back.

Sagna has barely been in position this game. Him being out of position cost us the third for sure as he was miles out and we had 3 backing up with 5 people attacking.

Even the likes of, Giroud/Ozil haven't hounded anyone at all for the ball at any point. Ozil has given it away constantly.

I mean, that ball just now was no where near Giroud when Mert cleared it, but why is Giroud offside.... there is zero pressure on anyone. Wilshere isn't playing well but you can't close as one player, one player closing means a huge hole to pass through. They aren't closing as a team at all, so painfully easy for Liverpool.

Arteta is holding it around in our half and both fullbacks have already moved way beyond the half way line, we lose the balla gain as we've done all game and its 3-4 vs 2-3 defenders instantly.

But I've been saying Wenger out for 5 years... this is why. No defending, terrible tactics again, shocking tactics, after conceding 3 they STILL haven't changed their tactics or shape.

How about I just quote you back what you said about Martinez after the bumming we got from Liverpool that sometimes these things just happen and it's not the fault of the manager etc etc.

That was good enough for Martinez but not your own manager who has had you top of the league for so long this season? You didn't think it was shocking when Martinez kept playing exactly the same way despite us getting bummed.
 
arrgggh, Giroud does nothing all game, finally gets the ball and Arsenal actually had some passes, so he tries to use his silky skills to run through 3 players to get towards the goal... problem is he doesn't have any silky skills. I've never seen him come close to beating a couple people and getting at goal, he doesn't have it in him at all, it's why he's so painfully limited.

Everyone has a bad game, I don't care about everyone having a stinker... if the problems weren't systemic and continual. If Sagna was having one bad game I wouldn't care, but he's this crap defensively for years... and nothing has been done. Most of the problems completely inept at set pieces, has been going on for 8+ years, things that will simply never change under Wenger.
 
This is just horrible. Our passing is the worst i've seen since god knows when, no one is in position..WTF is Ozil doing, completely anonymous again, oh except for being directly responsible for one of their goals by falling over like a pantomime horse and doing NOTHING to try ang get the ball back. Flamini has had more of an impact on the team this season than him. They've been running around like headless chickens since the kick off and we have nothing to turn this around. Oh wait! in 6 weeks we'll have the awesome Kim Kallstrom to help restart the season after our February implosion.

42mil for a huge game bottler...... not such a bad mistake if it wasn't known, but most people knew how poor he was against the best opposition. 42mil is supposed to buy you the guys who make the difference in these games, not disappear.

That is before you factor in the whole Ozil was offered to various teams around Europe, and everyone else said 42mil.... big game bottler.... lol. :(

I thought he was worth about £20-£25 million, when i heard £42 million i just laughed at that ridiculous price. He is good not great in all honesty.

He never shows up for big games, I never watch Spanish football but his first big test for Arsenal and he didn't show, he hasn't changed. £42 mil was spent appeasing thr fans, nothing more.

Draxler is thanking his lucky stars we didn't sign him now.

Bould defense need a beating at half time, woefull.

I said it before the season started that Flamini would be more useful to us than Ozil and everyone laughed....

I always wanted FLamini, it is funny though, since him/Gilberto were let go in favour of Song/Denilson/Diaby for those positions we've been crying out for the simplicity of someone who does the sitting job correctly. It's just hilarious that it took so long to "replace" Flamini, and we did so by getting back the player we should never in a million years have let go.

Left because he felt Wenger didn't value him, because he didn't and wouldn't give him a long term contract or pay parity with other players, and he's the player Arsenal needed the most in the past crapload of years.
