Another sorry mess but we're used to them now.

Soups123 · 21-11-2015 04:55PM

We badly need Ramsey back.

Our bench is **** too with the players out I think the next 4/5 games are going to be tough viewing

Alfred Borden · 21-11-2015 04:55PM

Injuries and games like this are why I want us to take the cups (And the Europa League if we end up in it) seriously as it presents us with our best chance of silverware.

Quazzie · 21-11-2015 04:55PM

Myhill booked for timewasting in the 91st minute and he still only played the exact 4 minutes. That's a bit shít isn't it?

Anyways, we decent today, but we lacked the quality to finish when it mattered and Arteta singlehandedly made sure we lost this one.

One man lost it for us, but eleven men failed to win it for us also.

Surely Arsene is regretting not improving the squad with outfield options and sticking with Arteta and Rosicky knowing they weren't going to stay fit

Wengers downfall is his loyalty to players that offer very little to the club.

Feck the cups. I want the league.

That and lack of investment when it's clearly needed.

Leicester top of the league.

It has its ups and downs. Arteta's not good enough, but a more ruthless manager would have binned Coquelin years ago.

**** game anyway. Pulis teams away are never good for us, but you'd think after going ahead they'd have enough in them to at least get a point...

He is gonna have to buy a DM in Jan now
And he will have to pay over the odds to get him

As an aside per and Campbell are stone useless

We will never have the squad for it under this regime though. Injuries are to be expected now but adequate backup will never arrive.

I think bellerin was at fault for both goals, more than arteta

How many times have we heard that. Sure when Coquelin comes back it will be like a new signing, same with Welbeck so we dont have to sign another forward :pac:

It's expectations that will drive you insane, you know it ain't going to happen'

We've been in worse positions this time of the year and he hasn't budged it won't change now.

The summer before we see a decent signing

He needed a DM in the summer so I wouldnt hold my breath.

I'd actually take Welbeck as the forward, don't no why but I like him

Need the DM though

Not this time, Ye have to at least challenge for the title

100% agree but I really don't see anything changing in January. Our only hope is players come back and we stay fit

A bench with Wilshire, Welbeck, Walcott etc. Changes games like today

omega man · 21-11-2015 05:06PM

We ain't winning the league.

It's not a knee jerk reaction, Just a hunch.

November isn't a great month for us for some weird reason.

One of them was an OG scored by Arteta. How are you pinning that one on Bellerin?

Also for the first goal Arteta never once looked at the ball coming* in so he didn't know what to defend against. For me he was the clear fault for both goals.

*from a freekick he gave away also.

We need them players too

I wanted a DM in summer but I thought arteta and flamini could do job if needed, Wenger obivoulsy thought so too

We now no they can't so it must be addressed in January and if it's not Wenger is playing with fire

Watch the second again, anyone could see mccleans run a mile off. Bellerin let him go until it was too late

Maybe a 50/50 cock up by both for second
Don't think it was a free either

I find it amazing what can happen when your striker is consistent.

Do you mean when the team consistently plays the same striker? Giroud has consistently scored goals for us in the league when he has played.

Bobby Baccala · 21-11-2015 05:52PM

Arteta was absolute clown shoes today.

Everyone was shíte bar Monreal, Ozil and Alexis.

You don't win the league by losing to West Brom

I think Chelsea managed it last year?

Disappointing result. Shame Cazorla slipped.... bah.

tayto lover · 21-11-2015 05:54PM

I think Wenger fcuked up today once again.
Why select Gibbs, he's useless. In fairness Campbell wasn't much better when introduced.
But my main gripe is why he chose to put Arteta on when Coq was injured.
Surely Flamini has had more game time recently and was a better bet to replace Coq. Arteta cost us at least one goal plus another substitution.
Flamini was the obvious choice to replace Coq.

bad2dabone · 21-11-2015 05:57PM

Very disappointing stuff

I'm sure even the minimum research will disprove that theory !

awful today, a very depressing perfotrmance and everything conspired against us. Hopefully Coquelin is back pdq. We struggle without him

greendom · 21-11-2015 06:18PM

wow, Aguero is on a completely different planet to any other striker in the league.

I like Giroud but he trails a long way behind in his wake.
