Chilli con carne - Monday 8pm with Arsenal vs Swansea (Sky Sports)

Yeah it was crying out for theo wide right giroud pinning them back

What a shitty cunty team Swansea are by the way. Haven't seen a more undeserved win since Greece won Euro 2004.

so... Gomis haunts us again this season.. 2 games, 2 game winners.. ($(&%)__$*(#^#$

This should have been a standard 3 points, we have a new bogey team

Gurgen

Nothing wrong with taking off Coquelin, we created loads of chances after that. Should have brought on Theo for a defender though, not Giroud. We played most of the game with 4 defenders against no strikers 😆

Definitely. Silly not to use them together. We'd so many crosses after Giroud went off.

Wenger loves his Cl playoffs because that's what his crap tactics today are looking to lead us towards-

Ramsey on the right clearly didn't seem like working from the beginning. Take Coquelin off and bring on Jack thus removing any protection for the defence. What are all these fucking experiments for? Walcott up-front. We were crying out for pace on the other flank.

Fabianski didn't have to make a single decent save all night.

I swear it's always them every time and yet I can't begrudge them. Be it the draw last year, or the loss the previous year all coming at home.

Frustrating on the one hand (seen that exact goal scored against us far too often) but thankfully its been a while!

Rohit

Dumb to take off Giroud When we were all over them.

Defence switched off yet again. No positives from this.

Well the fact that they scored and we didn't after the subs were made suggests that sacrificing our defensive set up for an attacking one did not work.
Chances created? Who cares when the ball ended up snugly in Fabianski's hands.

Nela

Wenger's refusal to do the logical thing and sub Ramsey cost us. If he was going to bring Wilshere on to play wide, Ramsey was the natural guy to take off. If he was going to bring on Theo, Ramsey was again the natural choice to take off.

i really need to stop mocking that guy

Spyro

I swear shit strikers always seem to score against us, normally with their only shot on target.
Frustrating.

Anyone else thing we should mix it up a little? Not significantly, but I wouldn't mind seeing Theo, Jack and Gabby get run outs.

shoulda done it

Tactics

Wenger is getting stick on here but we actually improved a lot after the subs IMO. We were way too sloppy and passive in our approach to trouble them for most of the match but we looked very dangerous in the last 20 minutes. An Arsenal goal looked inevitable before they fluked one in. Proper smash and grab job by Swansea.

I don't think we sacrificed anything, if Monreal bothers to jump that isn't a goal.

Ramsey was abysmal today. Terrible performance.

You can't say he didn't try though. Nothing came off for him.

Gurgen

Ozil, Sanchez, Ramsey and Cazorla were all shit.
