Badly missed Flamini tonight. Our rhythm and passing is offline when he is not in the team because our attacking mids have to track back and cover too much. Solution? against loserpool play TV5 in front of back four as cover, let him do flaminis job.
damn, I should be a footie manager, just call me dagenham wenger from now on please lol

DWenger!:)
totally agree, missed Flam, and would be great to try TV5 in this position.
COYG andi:)

Pathetic tonight. Dortmund then Chelsea with a fortunate win against Palace. I fear the next few weeks, it's all downhill now lads let's face it. Wenger has gotten lucky so far its now ended.

Are you fck!ng kidding, your already attacking wenger? Get a grip and go support chelsea where they fire there manager every season and play sh!tty football. Sorry mate, i'm just p!55ed off about the result tonight. Chelsea parked the buss, showed no flare and got two crappy grim goals, it's an insult to football

What's ended?. our league cup chance?. We played with a side not used to playing together, where the Chelsea team started with some of the best players in the prem.
the league cup for me is all about finding out if certain players will make it. Tonight proved we need another striker, another dm and rb.
I'm an happy gunner, time to concentrate on the bigger fishes:)

Jenkinson is SHOCKING, thank god that was only in the league cup and not the league. He can't head to save his klife, was very weak, his tackling is poor and his crossing is even worse! Aswell as this he is so one footed, one of the only players out there I can think of that can only use one foot, he desperately needs to work on his left. Althoough we lost I didn't think chelsea were anything special to breakaway goals against the run of play and I feel flamini would of cut out mata's goal! the negatives said and done I thought wilshere, rosicky and especially santi had good games but it is so disappointing at the lack of shots we have as we all know players like santi can shoot from range! Final point probably backj to a negative what in the world was bendtner doing when he laid off ramsey, all he had to do was urn and shoot! All said and done let's hope we show everyone we are still title contenders against Liverpool!

Not the end of the world

They had their stretch, we had ours

First was a howler as bad as we haven't committed all year, second was a stunner from a world class player

Ozil came on, we began dominating

I'm ready for Liverpool

Bendtner did not provide any focal point.

I think wilshere, Rosicky, Arteta need to be subs.

Flamini and Ramsey in the middle, with Caz on the left, Ozil in the middle and theo on the right.

I think we need a better CDM, we got exposed quite a lot, without arteta or flamini. the likes of Gundogan or pogba would help us greatly. but I doubt we are adding any players in that position in the next transfer window.

Im not sure about Benzema, the more I watch him the more average he looks. perhaps its a confidence issue. but I would like to see him be a danger man not an assist man.

if we can somehow get Casillas and Benzema for around 40 mill, I think we can make this year count for something.

once the FA cup starts and the latter stages of the champions league along with the closing stage of the league, that's when the bodies count.

I agree with every point you made buddy

Spot on

Match just finished is Bendtner the worse player Arsenal ever had with Jenkenson almost as bad. I said last week our next 6 matches would be very important we have lost our first 2 home matches, starting to get very worried

God, Jenkinson has just been frustrating tonight.

Well this is a bit of a wake up call.

Seen enough of Ryo. There's absolutely nothing in his locker to suggest he's got what it takes. Bertrand is an average left back and any winger with any ability or potential should be getting at least a bit joy out of him.

Same has to be said for Jenkinson. He's supposed to be a defender yet he can't get the basics right. He's had more than enough opportunities to show he's got it and it's clear he hasn't.

As for Bendtner, I've always disliked him, and his performance was incompetent. No anticipation, no awareness. There were 3 clear moments inbetween the two Chelsea goals where he should have at least got a shot away. Over thirty million pounds still to spend at the end of the window and we didn't buy a striker, I'm sorry but that just serves Wenger right.

We are 59 minutes into this game and I hate to say it about an Arsenal player but Bendtner has got to be one of the worst players I have ever seen ANYWHERE! absolute rubbish. The sooner we offload him the better he is embarrassing. He is no PL player.

My goodness jenkinson what was that?

Any reason Fabianski is being use over Viviano? Makes his signing seem a bit pointless doesn't it?

Fellaini rejected a move to arsenal and refused to stay at everton, poor lad must be scared of heights

According to the news feed I read of what he said . he never said Arsenal actually bid for him. he 'hinted' that there was interest from Arsenal but stopped short of saying it or whether he was approached by AFC- I think he's trying to get on the MU fans good side.

Going to watch the boys tonight, still can't get over the fact the tickets were £10 each! My train ticket costs more lol

One thing I wanted to ask my fello gooners, where's a pub closest to the ground? Me and my dad wanna have a drink before we go in. Many thanks

Drayton Arms is normally a good pub to go in before the game. that can have a mix of gooners and away fans in
