    But we drew 3-3 in anfield.

    This team has loads of bottle I was told.

    It's a lack of mental strength

    Take Mert he had time to think look across and still made the decision. He knew it was a red

    Walcott has done nothing apart from his one shot against City since a long time. Goes to show how being a ruthless manager can be a very good trait at times, and taking off the worst performer despite it being a big occasion for Theo. Campbell would have been my second choice probably.

    Oh and Costa looked off to me. Like to see an angle.

    Guys despite the ten men I won't lose hope yet, there is holes in this Chelsea defence.

    Nothing to lose. Get Sanchez on,

    Going for the title we should be 110% concentrated nothing else comes into play.

    To be champions you have to be ruthless do what it takes to get the result.

    The Arsenal way? Let Theo lead us out its his 10th anniversary so let's start with that! Is that enough? nope lets get on to the pitch and our 'Captain' takes off his armband and puts it on Theo!

    This my friends is not how you win titles

    Thought the same myself.
    Poorly prepared for a vital game yet again.

    Mert looking to the line just before he tackles Costa for the red. Why for the love of God!!

    Why do we always implode against these fcuks

    Did the panel say that Monrael turned his back on the ball for the goal?
    I didn't see it clearly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,896 ✭✭✭emmetlego


    Very disappointing display, but we're far from out of this. I think we'll get something out of this game yet!

    I said it at the start.

    Nonsense carry on. Just get on with the game and leave this nostalgic ****e until after the game.

    Theo is with us ten years. Big ****en deal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,783 ✭✭✭emergingstar


    Watch kos for there goal

    Looks at Costa 3 times and does nothing

    Tbf Mertesacker has made those kind of tackles successfully before.

    I agree with Henry and Carragher, what was he doing looking for offside a split second before making the tackle, his eyes aren't focused on the tackle.

    Can't wait for Sanchez to get back on the field :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,609 ✭✭✭KaiserGunner


    Yeah Mert nearly assisted a Chelsea player minutes before his sending off. He was poor from the get go. Having said that Kosc has been shaky too and for the last few games. I'm wondering if our midfield has a lot to do with it?

    Looking back at the sending off, look how long Willian has the ball for with no pressure on him to execute the through ball. Can't be playing a high line like that, if ya don't pressurise the ball carrier. Shocking all round.

    Dead right. These guys let in loads of goals this season. We need to grow a pair and get tge f*** on with it.

    Startinh by bringing him on.

    TBF to Arsene I don't think he made that call. If he wanted Theo to be captain he'd have left the dressing room with it on. Mert made that call.

    I really am fuming with Mert. I'd fcukin sack him if I could. Every other player gets a pass today there trying hard with 10 men

    Why do we always find ways to mess things up ourselves.

    We're our own worst enemy.

    Because we're mentally weak. Utterly fragile. Don't come and tell me we have bottle because we came back from a goal down at Anfield. The only reason for this insipid turgid display against a team 14th in the league and leaking goals is because we don't believe we can beat them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,449 ✭✭✭✭extra gravy


    Flamini should have been hooked at ht, 1 mistimed challenge from him now and we're down to 9.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,257 ✭✭✭omega man


    10 players or not, way too many poor performances today.

    Wenger should have had them so pumped up for this game that they wouldn't have time to even think of that armband shyt.

    I never said that about the Liverpool game.

    I said us conceding in the 90th was predictable because we lacked the belief to hold on.

    I was told by a few here it was a sign of strong character leaving with a 3-3 draw???

    Come on Theo!

    That was shocking there by Flamini, how he let Fabregas fly past him there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 55,778 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    Ah Sanchez.
    Thought we were keeping him for the Burnley match.

    More like **** off theo

    Also just waiting for Kos to get sent off, he has made a few stupid tackles today especially since Mert got sent off.


  • Posts: 24,286 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Fabregas is only a snake....diving w@nker!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,382 ✭✭✭✭greendom


    Ah Sanchez.

    He hasn't played since November. Be a bit much to expect him to play 90 today.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,361 ✭✭✭Boskowski


    Chances are still there. Everyone looks a bit off though. Could have easily been 1:1 there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,681 ✭✭✭JustTheOne


    Theo is utter ****e.
