The way he pronounces Wenger annoys me. "Wenga!".

Can't say I disagree with the points he makes though, well, most of them.

I don't why I was thinking that El Neny Coq would be our most defensively solid pairing. Still can't believe we shipped in four goals with them there

 

[remains]

United look like they're getting their swagger back whilst we are still the same old soft bellied ****s. Sickening.

Just seen that Wenger mentioned that we were on a 10 game unbeaten run before today. Unreal, just when you think the banter can't get any better, he pulls out a quote like that! What a guy.

FVCK defensive solidity. this was a home game, only vs Liverpool, they should not even be a given top4 team

He lined up us for a 0-0 game with no creative spark whatsoever

We didn't lose because we attacked too much we lost because we did nothing

 

[CJJ]

You hear me blud?!

God that's brilliant.

And people here thought it a bad move to go for Zlatan...

Wenger probably didn't even consider him due to age

He frekkin scored! He instills a winning mentality in every team he has played in.

What a ****ing joke

 

[Rimaal]

God that's brilliant.

It's going viral on twitter.

Wenger think's he's bought a striker and the b*stard chicken's out, he has a centre back pairing that had the most clean sheets in the league last year and one needs the rest after the euros (achilles/back suspect) and the other gets injured pre-season, and then his back up CB gets injured, he pays good money for Xhaka who can't make a single decent tackle in a crucial opener, 2 more players then get injured, one of his players misses a vital penalty,

That's a lot of unlucky sh*t, management skills and opening result aside.

He's had nearly 2 months since Vardy backed out and this is the 11th summer in a row he's left us short somewhere. Stop making excuses for him. He's got more autonomy than any other manager at a big club does and he's routinely neglectful of the squad. This season is no different. If this were an isolated affair then you could bang on about how unlucky he is with some credibility. Given that this has been the state of affairs for more than half his tenure here now it has no credibility. You make your own luck and his has come home to roost as it does every season.

Agree about Cech actually. Think Ospina has looked better over the past 6-8 months.

I have to disagree blaze. I recall Cech having 2 shaky games last season and saving our bacon with massive saves more times than I can count. He was easily the 2nd best keeper in the league for me and given that De Gea is borderline supernatural at times there's no shame in being 2nd best to him. Ospina admittedly was better than expected when Cech missed those few games to injury but Cech was still clearly the better keeper. He was probably left exposed more times last season by our amateurish defending than in his last 5 at Chelsea. His positioning was poor on 1 goal today and he made a few good saves to keep things from getting truly humiliating and had we come back to rescue a point he'd have played his part in it. I don't think it's fair to judge him with 2 green 20 year olds as a CB pairing and a midfield that can't keep the ball in front of him.

Btw Sanchez may be wasted at ST but please don't let this team fool you into thinking he would be awful there.

Sometimes I'm convinced we could make the likes of Aguero and Suarez look ineffectual upfront for us.

Product of an unstructured attack with complete abandon.

Every time we lose the fans say spend some money! Instead of of talking about the game and what went wrong. that why I stopped watch AFTV.

 

[MLK79]

one doesn't really fancy any of our players with a penalty...giroud aside maybe....and that's 100% an issue of mentality

Most players in general want nothing to do with penalties. Even more so at Arsenal because once you miss one, you just know our fans are going to be terrible to you. So can you really blame them in this situation?

Believe it or not, there are still some Giroud faithful. Although, honestly, it's best to steer clear from them if possible.

I don't hate him. As long as a player plays for Arsenal, I get behind and support them. Is he one of the top strikers in the world? No. He's still a player that gives us 20+ goals in even his worst season though.

 

[Rimaal]

This guy spent his life as an Arsenal fan. Breaks my heart seeing him so disappointed.

Trying at the stats and trying to comprehend what happened today. A couple of numbers hit me:
Callum chambers completed 70 passes today, more than Coquelin & Elneny combined. Yes Callum Chambers.
Let's also note as well that Ramsey completed 26 passes...Yes 26!
(By the Xhaka had 25 passes competed in 20 min).
There is no way we could have won that game today with that set up.
Between the three in the MF, we have less than 100 competed passes.
This was just dreadful. I would love to hear a rational explanation on starting these three together.

This AFTV thing is just garbage.... always the same characters, spouting the same sonsense, starting with the sanctimonius pakistani dude. As you said, no serious analysis of the game.

Laughably Elite Ramsey and Average As **** Eleney couldn't string together 70 passes the whole game combined, nothing to shocking there mate.

That wasn't such a great start... When the 1-4 goal went in I stopped watching and started cleaning the house, I was so frustrated. I honestly cannot take another season of this. We are so like we were last season and the seasons before that. We are at best just standing in place or more likely regressing. It's August and I have already given up. Great feeling... This is going to be such a long season. And with ****ing ManU and Mourinho winning on top of it. I cannot even get angry anymore. I am just despondent. As long as Wenger doesn't sign a contract extension. If he does that I am not sure what to do. Now for a gin and tonic before I am off to bed. At least I can finish the day in style.
