Looking at the WBA second goal again and it's like a comedy of errors.
Very poor defending and even Cech could have done better.
Ozil lost the ball in their half under no pressure too.

WAS ACTUALLY EXPECTING A BIGGER MELTDOWN IN HERE!!!

The drama queens have actually made sense tonight in fairness... But if I may:

This league is wide open, both in terms of injuries to important players, and to important managers etc. We had a bad day today, and fierce unlucky with some finishing etc, but the big point is, so have all the other contenders! It was one of those days, fair play to Liverpool! Fair play to Leicester and Vardy... I'm firmly in the camp that we are as good as City, and we will win the league, as our gaffer knows what it takes better than the gentleman that is Pelegrini.

You can slate me in the coming months, and I'll take it, but I do feel if Coq's injury is not a long termer, we will win the league!

Mark this date!

I hope you're right and while i agree that we have as good a panel as any of the others I can see the lack of a battle-hardened leader preventing us from winning. We just seem to be too soft in vital areas.

There is nothing to say that Arsenal won't bottle it like every other year in the past 10 years. I don't even consider them as title challengers as a United fan. It's between us and City.

Really makes you wonder what goes on behind the scenes. Must be hard when your club captain is nowhere near the starting 11.

Why is he captain? Even at his best he was never that good.

It's just the injuries, man. No point in having a meltdown, but it's so frustrating.

We'll still win the league, though.

Ye got three points today because of an OG and you've scored 4 goals in your last 6 games. Good luck with that title challenge. :rolleyes:

This Arsenal team is the best since the invincibles. That's the difference.

Utd are probably favourites, as long as they play Watford every week. Otherwise, it'll be the most expensive snore your way to fourth place in history. Enjoy.

Best defense in the league so far but just disregard that! you guys always look good but at the end of the day everyone knows you never keep it up.

A defense we put 3 past not so long ago.

Everyone also knows that ye haven't looked close to winning anything since Fergie left and without him, despite spending more than anyone else in the world you still look a shadow of the club ye once were.

Yep. But that's still a lot better than you did since the one man that made you great retired.... Sir whiskey nose will always be the only reason. Fair play!

We're bigger than that now, so p155 off back to somewhere you're appreciated!

Can't blame artera for either goal, first one he got the ball. Second one Cech flapped and missed so was his fault, imo.

what about the fact that for the first goal he never once looked at the ball as it came into the box?

We just don't defend well with him and never have done. Whether directly or indirectly his fault, it's not acceptable this season. With Caz moving the ball around we don't need an ageing AMF playing as a DMF any more.

Flam is way more suited to the role tbh.

If Coq is fit, I have no problem with Coq 1, Flamini 2.

Sorry and all but Arteta should not play anymore unless he's coming on in Santi's position.

Bigger than United. Sure you are. In absolutely no way. Revenue, points so far, trophies won. It's obvious you have a solid team but Wenger keeps forgetting the Viera in the puzzle that used to get you over the line.

Hah, visiting opposition threads for the first time once you've gone a single point ahead of them in the table.

The club you support may be big. It doesn't seem to carry to all it's supporters though.

Also have the best defence in the league. Solid foundations for a title challenge. You've conceded 12 goals in your last 6 games. Good luck with that title challenge.

Suddenly they're all fans of United again. I've lost count to the amount of my friends who were massive United fans but for some reason all of them were "busy with work so haven't had a chance to follow them" for the last two years. I feel bad because their work must be gone very quiet since they're all back on the United bandwagon the last few months.

Surprisingly when we beat them 3-0, most of them had "no credit" to reply. Can bill pay phones run out of credit?

Give it a month or so till they get stuck into Xmas and they'll soon crawl back under their rocks.

Pudders · 22-11-2015 11:34AM

Man United fans are deluded if they think they will win the league. But so too are Arsenal fans unless we make the 3 signings we needed during the summer. But you'd need to be even more deluded to think Wenger will sign anyone. Throwing away another chance at the league by his stubbornness. Too much loyalty to injured / poor players. Arteta shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team let alone captain.

wonga77 · 22-11-2015 11:35AM

I dont think ive ever bothered trolling in another supporters thread although ive been tempted a few times

Didnt see the game yesterday but watched motd and it was hard to tell much from it other than Campbell missed a great chance and Santi fluffed the penalty. I watched the liverpool City game in the pub and while Liverpool were really good, City were brutal. Liverpools pressing was impressive and they pushed the City defence backwards several times, its something id like to see more of in our play as it is very hard to play against, the only one who seems to do it is Sanchez

What happened to Coq?

22-11-2015 12:19PM

Once again our complete lack of a player to just do a solid job when brought on bites us in the arse. Arteta would probably still look good in another league but his legs are completely gone and most of us knew that last year. For those saying we need a massive signing to sit on the bench, rubbish. Consider also the saved wages if we'd let Arteta go when he was so obviously done.
