Wenger tactically is very poor. He has one way of playing and thats it, no plan b, this team isnt good enough to be on the offensive away from home against the likes of Chelsea and City. He should of played Flamini and I would of had Vermaelen/Monreal at left back and Gibbs left wing. Keep it tight for the first 60mins then have a go in the final 3rd of the game when the opposition are tired and not as much of a threat as they would be at the start of a gane.

I think it's more picking the wrong tactics rather than not changing at all. Spurs and united are poor enough this season we should be putting them to the sword but he sets the teams up to grind out results against them (it worked against spurs I know) but when we face Chelsea/City/Liverpool he sets up to with a high line and an open approach which leads to us being ripped apart.

This has to be Chamberlain's worst day in an Arsenal shirt.
He has been brutal.

" Ref: "Gibbs, you're off!"

Ox: "But ref, it was me!"

Ref: "Shut up Walcott, get on with the game""

I'd bring on Sanago, Giroud isn't going to get anything against cahil, Terry or ivanovic in the air and Terry probably out paces him too.

Our problems have not been at the front today although Giroud should have scored early.

We can't even with Walcott, Ramsey and Ozil. City beat us 6-3

Even with Ozil. Liverpool beat us 5-1

We have some great players but we need some Toure's and Schweinsteiger's to help those flair players out. We haven't got it right now.

The City result wasn't that hard to take though because it was fairly evenly matched game where we had 2 clear goals disallowed, obviously shouldn't have set up so openly though. We beat Liverpool a week later. I agree we need signings but only 3 or 4, not a total overhaul.

Regardless of these poor results the team has improved since last season in a big way, it's important not to lose sight of that.

the whole team has been to be fair. A lack of heart and fight.

We're so far away from a title winning team its crazy.

It's sad cause this season felt like we could do it but the big games have shown us up to be out of our depth.

It comes back week in and out to haunt us..... Wenger failed to sign a striker, so at least we are a threat going forward.

blingrhino · 22-03-2014 02:30PM

This is why we won't win the league again - we can't beat the big teams , city , utd and Chelsea .

Gringo180 · 22-03-2014 02:30PM

Arteta is not a defensive midfielder ive seen milk turn quicker than him. Is it just me or has his legs gone since he came back from his last injury?

Alfred Borden · 22-03-2014 02:30PM

Chamberlain has been terrible. Gibbs was brutal thank god he is off the pitch. Arteta and Per too slow and Cazorla too weak and small for the big games. Giroud i have no words for, wouldnt mind not seeing him again until next season

I was been a little caught up in the moment. We need top class battlers to match the flair, A world class Striker (this is a must) and a pacey centre back.

It's a major improvement but teams will get stronger, Utd will spend like crazy, Liverpool will strengthen for sure as will city and Chelsea.

will Arsenal, I don't know.

4-0 now. Christ this is a downer.

I'm not blaming him the whole team has been rubbish but it'll keep giroud fresh for mid week.

Yeah I'm not really watching any more. Can't stomach these mercenaries humiliating us. Dirt they are.

beaten Liverpool and Spures (twice)

drew with Everton, Chelsea and Utd at home
beaten by Chelsea,City, Liverpool and Utd away from home.

Defeats to Stoke and draws to Southampton and West Brom (the other big teams swept the floor with them)

Not good enough.

tayto lover · 22-03-2014 02:35PM

I can't see many big names wanting to come after the 3 drubbings we have taken this season but let's hope the big names don't follow our results.:D

omega man · 22-03-2014 02:35PM

This is bad and in all likelihood will end far worse.

Don't like to put the boot in but wenger should have walked a few years ago as with each bad result like today he's damaging his amazing achievements at the club. IF we win the cup he should seriously consider finishing on a high. I'm starting to think no matter what players we have other big club managers simply have one over on him from a tactical perspective. That's not going to change sadly.

Haven't posted here in ages. Just coming in like an alcoholic at AA meeting after an all night bender. Just need to be with people who feel like I feel right now

How do we blow the FA cup i wonder?

I seriously wonder if we win this, Wenger won't think he needs to spend and makes excuses that we're on the right path.

Wigan beat us 7-0 by half time.

We won't. It's an inferiority complex against teams like Man Utd and these tramps that needs to be sorted out.

djan · 22-03-2014 02:40PM

I didnt expect a win but nothing this bad. Think a lot of people were deluded as to how we have been doing. We have lost the majority of games against the big teams showing we are very far off. If we compare the to starting 11s today maybe 2 arsenal players would get into the chelsea one.

But most of these players have played on the big stage. I would buy the inferiority complex, if they were full of youngster's making their way. But all these guy's have played in World Cups. Champions leagues. Chelsea and City ain't world beaters but we make them look like they are Munich, Real or Barcelona. It's basic we're not good enough when it comes to the big teams.

Everton and Spurs are not big teams, this season big teams have been man city, chelsea and liverpool. From those games we have got 4/15 points we have a serious task on now to get 4th.

Andre Marriner has told Oxlade-Chamberlain he deserved an Oscar for his turn in 12 Years A Slave

Liverpool have never won the EPL and won't win it this season either.
Living on past glories is pointless.
