We got Man City in the Carling.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

I am so so so proud of the lads right now.Koscielny has hands down been the best defender in the league this season.

Difference between us - they had Ageuro and Dzeko and we had Chamakh and Park.
We played really well, fantastic effort and commitment.
Just did not have the players up front to do what they're supposed to do.
So impressed by Coquelin.

And to add to that, i thought Squillaci was decent today, as was Djourou.

That's all the analysis you need, really.

The difference was them having potent attackers out, whilst we've had.....nothing.
And still we managed to come close to scoring.

Anyway, I'm proud. Didn't expect such a good performance.

On a side note,i know it was only 5 mins rshavin was on,but he really needs to be sold.He is so awful its beyond words now.

I thought we were better at everything except in the striker department. We so didn't deserve to lose that.

Coquelin should be given a chance if we need to give Arteta a rest.

The OX should be ahead of Arshavin.

Chamakh should be on the next plane to France.

Still a disappointing loss when the team played with great determination.
A stinker of a goal...

And so there were bright performances among the young ones - all of them played well with the exception of Park who was pretty anonymous. Wonder if there's a language problem.
Kos stood tall among the experienced players. Yossi was a big disappointment for me.

With this game, I really have fine tuned my dislike of this Manchester team.
But wouldn't mind having Dzeko on our team.

Yossi got into the game more with the introduction of Gerv, who i though did well.Shoyld ve had an assist.

Dzeko and Aguero needed just one opening and they were gone. It was a stupid goal to let in but the team as a whole failed there so you can't really blame one player. The loss isn't a huge deal given the situation but beating them with that team would've been nice.

Now the remaining teams are Cardiff, ManCity, (probably) ManU and Liverpool/Chelsea (won't name the winner because someone mentioned they don't want spoilers of that game). At least one of those teams is going to get an easy run in.

Same old problem, we need another forward. Apart from that I was impressed with the team. Frimpong, Coq, Kos and Ox were all excellent. Yossi had a decent game too.

Wenger had a terrible game though. Taking off Park instead of Chamakh, taking off Chamberlain instead of a defensive player.

BTW Kos had 50 million worth of strikers in his pocket for 90 fucking minutes.He was immense.Dint put a foot wrong.Easliy our best player.

If AW doesn't get the message about bringing in a quality striker in January, then the team is royally screwed.

tazmania

Kos should be starting every game as long as he plays like that. He was amazing

This.

i couldnt for the life in me understand while chasing a game why Arsene dint take off say a Squillaci or either of the CMs.And Chamakh should ve been substituted at HT.

Claudius

Watching the Pool - Chelsea game. Looks like Torres will start this one. 50m pound player who only starts for the Carling cup. We should do a straight swap of Chamakh for Torres.

thedawnraids

Ox needs to be at least on the bench in every game moving forward for the simple fact he's one of the only players we have that can solidly strike the ball. Hell of a shot on him.

Nela

Koscielny-Vermaelen should without question be first choice.

tazmania

Who are you going to sign in January that is top class and is willing to sit on the bench? I agree we should get rid of Arshavin and Chamakh though.

I am Arsenal Till I Die

Next time there is a chance of playing Chamakh,id rather Wenger played Afobe.he couldnt do worse even if he possibly wanted to.
