Such total bollocks. We've had loads of games like this with Fabregas on the pitch. Team is just bereft of confidence, as demonstrated by how negatively we're playing.

Was that Almunia's fault? I thought the WB player looked free to head wherever he wanted to. Who was marking him?

Ramsey. He should have kept track of Reid. It's easier to just blame Almunia though.

Well you can take your pick out of 3-4 of them, fact is we essentially have no proper spine as I said earlier and are defenceless.
I genuinely expect WBA to score every time they go forward.

Watch a video of a pre-season friendly, and watch our game today, and you'd see very little difference.

Too much crap in the team. Arshavin is finished as a top class player.

After seeing that first half, I really feel like crying.

We've been well below par. Rambo started slow but warmed into the game as it went on. Wilshere looks lost without Song or Cesc next to him, too early in his development for him to take charge of midfield. Denilson - no words. Defense was ok apart from the goal, which was very sloppy. Arsh and Nas both peripheral. The only person to get any credit so far is RvP, he's turning lemons into lemonade up front, and is the only one playing how we should - with some fucking urgency.

We haven't been total shit, and really we should be level, but overall our attack looks far too constipated to create many more chances.

Deni off, Nasri to the centre, stick Bender up front and go hail mary with 4-4-2; this is a list of things that won't happen until the 80th minute.

Yep at least 4 to blame there. Squillaci was rubbish leaving Kos to clean up, Kos stupidly gives them a corner, Ramsey completely loses his man, Almunia does nothing, doesn't come and hasn't got his footing right to stop a header straight down him.

The idea that theres always 1 person to blame is child like. That was a series of stupid mistakes and all 4 of them are responsible.

Streams are dying all over the place today.
From what I've seen it's the same old same old from us.
Lacking any real ideas on how to break down a committed WBA defence, keeping possession, going nowhere, picking the wrong pass or making a sloppy pass which concedes possession and immediately inspires the quick threatening counter from WBA.

Disheartening, dispiriting and sometimes infuriating to watch.

Denilson is playing better than Arshavin, Sagna and Ramsey. Just throwing it out there.

90521 for those looking for sopcast stream.

You do come out with some strange comments Captain.

YounGunner

Ramsey is having a shocker tbf. Should have scored and was at fault for their goal but thats what you get when you rely on inexperience.

He really isn't.

...in so much as he hasn't made many mistakes but that's not tough when you don't try anything expansive. To be fair to him, he can pick a pass like no one else - just a shame that it's usually backwards.

Will you fuck off with that shit Capi. 😉
You're worse than me for starting a riot.

Not really, only him, Wilshere and RvP have tried to put any speed on the ball.

Arshavin is still sulking about not starting at the Nou camp, Ramsey is not really in the game despite trying and Sagna is having a nightmare.

Nope. Not saying the ones you mentioned have not been poor either, but Denilson is having a terrible game, even by his standards.

Pepe LeFrits

I missed the first twenty and judging by the remaining 25 I'm better off.

Come on Arsenal.

We are so shit without Fabregas, Scezny, Djourou, Theo, and Song.

Better now? ;-)

I think he'd definitely give us that extra bit of spark and invention that's obviously lacking right now.

I really hate it when we play like this.
