Yet again Arsenal were woeful, from the last chance again our DM fails to follow the midfield runner. If you watch the replay Denilson is following Malouda, though behind him AGAIN, then he just stops, ignores him, watches him run in behind and score. Pathetic, it was all pathetic.
ADebayor barely tried at all, barely even a jog to close people down or the keeper. Bendtner from much further back was running further and faster to stop the keeper peeing about. He's always been this pathetic, again when he was played through he dived, he dived twice in this game and frankly should have gotten 2 yellows for it. Bendtner yet again dropped after a semi decent performance against Man U(only decent player for arsenal on the pitch frankly), after he was dropped for a great performance against Boro, came on and was a real threat, instantly. movement was great, tracked back, won the ball, won tackles, played people in, created chances, scored.
Song, Denilson, Diaby were all utterly pathetic, the second goal came when Song decided, as the DM< to first put pressure on Terry for no reason at the edge of his box, who passed to Cech. Song closed cech down, who kicked it up the field and Anelka ran through a HUGE Song shaped hole in our midfield to be unmarked, unchallenged and scored a good goal. Those three are simply incapable of defending, all year long are defensive weaknesses are the DM, not the actual defenders. Hell, Silvestre was actually very good today, Gibbs, Sagna even did better than he has done recently.
Walcott yet again, when played in behind looked dangerous though far too many of his shots were simply from too wide a position, he needs to be a striker, and more central. ANytime he got the ball on the wing with players to actually beat he looked like a pathetic little girl, incapable of beating his man, awful touch.
Dreadful performance, dreadful team selection, awful substitutions, Wenger needs to go.
This was a MUST WIN game, 2-0 down, desparate for a change at half time and he waited, again, till another goal was conceded, till it was too late, then brought on the wrong people(ish). Bendtner on at half time and it might have ball been different, Ade coming on was a waste, as was Denilson, Eboue who is a real driving force going forward, strong defensively, pace. No bring on the hopeless going forwards, hopeless defensively, no pace Denilson, that will surely bring us 3 goals back.
Embarassed to say the least, we conceded 4 against pool, but for a ridiculous game by Arshavin we would have been smashed. 4 against Man U in the CL, but for a poor first leg could have been 8/9-1 in total. 4 against Chelsea, I'm embarassed, and now think theres no way back for Wenger, the board HAVE to fire him before next year.
RVP, I will hold no grudges and wish him all the best if he doesn't sign a contract and smegs off in the summer, same for Fabregas, frankly they deserve better.
