EPL: Arsenal v Liverpool- 24/08/15, 20:00. [SS1]

[GDeep™]

I'm not saying that he's sh*t or anything, he's obviously a class player but how many conductors do you need for an orchestra?

That why we should have sold him, like you said in the summer.

Santi is no use here.

Wenger: "To win the league you must win home games."

W 0/ D 1 /L 1 ...... 0 Goals Scored

Exactly. To win the league, you need to win home games and get some points at difficult places like Goodison. But a genuine title challenge starts with beating the teams you're expected to beat at home. And we aren't doing that.

Some will say (yes I'm looking at you @David Smith) that it's still possible yadayada, but it's not going to happen. Not if you drop so many points against teams you shouldn't be dropping points against.

 

[Matimo]

So depressing watching us fire blanks. No width to our play especially when we need it at home when teams sit back. Yet he still plays ramsey on right and leaves ox and theo on bench. If for whatever reason he doesn't fancy either of them why didn't he go for Pedro or a n other

 

[SuperGoon]

Our home form is abysmal and we need it changed asap. Not scoring in 5/6 matches is dreadful. Fans should feel disgusted.

 

[ScotVieira]

I think he genuinely believes what he is saying. Last of the gems he said at the end of the post match show.

Q: Can you see any of these 2 truly challenging for the title?
Owen: No, I can't. Not a chance. I think it will be between City and Chelsea who have both started the season well. I even think United will be closer to the title than these 2. Arsenal's been a bit of a joke this season and they will be fighting Tottenham, Liverpool for 4th, 5th or even 6th."

The goats say these things because we click on their links. If we stop clicking on their rubbish, they'll stop doing it.

 

[Pat Rice]

How can this happen if when Özil, Cazorla or Ramsey get the ball and look out wide, the only person standing there is the linesman?

Which would be a valid point if they had any intention of trying to switch the play initially. The problem is that we persevere in one corner for half a minute with the aforementioned players in a 3m radius slowing the play down.

 

[Maxim]

if Santi is gonna play at cm for the season then he has to start scoring. why is his shooting so woeful? why?

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Wenger says 'we had chances in the 1st half'. Really?

Well we scored a goal.

 

[SA Gunner]

Wenger says 'we had chances in the 1st half'. Really?

We ****ing scored in the first half buddy.

 

[SuperGoon]

Wenger says 'we had chances in the 1st half'. Really?

Well, the goal that was ruled offside is one.

 

[Gervais]

Gabriel and Chambers didn't do too badly for 3rd and 4th choice centre backs, respectively, imhotbh (in my honest opinion to be honest).

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

Ramsey on the wing worked though, he was probably our best attacker. He scored a legit goal, created couple of good chances. Again we should have won this game, by more than couple of goals at that. The formation wasn't the problem. It's the personnel.

No it didn't work on the wing, yet again. He had a good game though regardless. The disallowed goal came on the left ffs, we literally don't have an outlet on the right. In the center he can get away with it and play to his strengths.

 

[Prawn Sandwich]

Wenger says 'we had chances in the 1st half'. Really?

Well, we 'scored' a legit goal.

 

[Rimaal]

Yeah that's bad. Seems a thing throughout the league right now though, hear them say there's only been 6 wins at home so far..?

Only one home win this weekend. 6 draws.

Come on mate you can't honestly believe that. It's not about individual performances its about how our TEAM performs when we have a front 3 of Alexis-Giroud-Ramsey, all our players clogging the centre of the pitch, right hand side non existent, no pace in attack, no counter attacking threat, not enough service to Giroud from out wide..i could go on.. The team balance is all wrong. So wrong.

Ramsey needs to be given another shot in the centre and a genuine winger like Ox needs to be back at RW.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

He said the exact same thing about Arsenal last year.

He's completely braindead. Imagine how he'd have gotten on in life if he couldn't kick a ball real good from age 15-22 (he retired at 22 right?)

 

[Rex Stone]

That why we should have sold him, like you said in the summer.

Santi is no use here.

Maybe but I was hoping we'd buy someone like Fekir or Meyer to replace him and mould into our future star.

The main problem we have now is that this team is starting to grow old together which is a big no-no. In a couple of years we'll have to start dismantling it all over again and enter rebuilding mode.

 

[Santi's Left Foot]

That why we should have sold him, like you said in the summer.

Santi is no use here.

Why would you sell Santi, madness.

Wenger needs to have the balls to drop either Özil or Caz.

 

[haha_arsenal]

Gabriel and Chambers didn't do too badly for 3rd and 4th choice centre backs, respectively, imhotbh (in my honest opinion to be honest).

agree, couple years ago our 3rd and 4th choices were Squillachi and Djourou. We have done better.

 

[Rimaal]

He's completely braindead. Imagine how he'd have gotten on in life if he couldn't kick a ball real good from age 15-22 (he retired at 22 right?)

He always sounds like a fan when he commentates, never like a an objective football pundit. Always like a club fan with an axe to grind.

 

[RandyMarsh]

We should have been dead and buried after the first half though. They had about 7 great chances.

We had 3 the entire match.

 

[Hunta]

This is the thing with Coquelin and Cazorla, we've got two players doing the job of one in midfield. Coquelin isn't trusted to build play so Santi is played next to him, he adds NOTHING defensively, one game against Man City when we parked the bus and Cazorla has turned into some sort of God.

You're not winning the league with Per Mertesacker at the back, Santi Cazorla in midfield and Oliver Giroud up front.

That's the ****ing truth.
