For some reason Wenger likes iwobi and is to stubborn to admit he made a mistake on xhaka Wenger out has gone and apathy has set in until he is gone I love arsenal and will always watch get frustrated but I realize we are fu%ked and will probably turn into a top 6/ 7 team for a couple of years.

The squad needs a considerable overhaul. Some players are going out of contract, whilst others will have only a year or two left at the end of the season. Whilst others are simply not good enough.
The nucleous remaining are actually relatively few and I see the need for around 8 players in the next two windows. Ozil and Sanchez are likely to depart. Wilshere is also a free agent at the end of the season. Whilst I believe Ramsey, Walcott and Welback have short contracts, so need to sign or be sold. There may be others that have similar short deals. We also need to move on the likes of Ospina, Debuchy, Chambers and Monreal. Whilst Mertesacker retires. I am not a huge fan of Iwobi, who need to learn the defensive side of the game, as does Bellerin.
I do not believe Wenger has shown in recent seasons that he is capable of this type of squad overhaul and I believe he needs to go.

Arsene wenger hang your head in shame, what a poor effort today. Mike Dean you to reffing, what Donald Trump is to hair styling.

The problem with Mike Dean being as poor as he is, will more than likely take the limelight away from how dire it is watching Arsenal try to play football. Where is the fluid attractive football. We play like a Mourinho team that doesn't know how to defend.

SU we played well going forward at palace, today was the reverse. Sanchez, lacca and wilshire apart, it was laclustre and slow. Yes we lead but it wasnt a deserved lead and yes they got a late present from santa dean but we have too many players who are dull and limited in ability.

Completely agree, it seems to be were a club that harvests players that are average. Seems Wenger and Arsenal is a safe choice where it's accepted to be Okay at football but never really have to push through the barriers. Wilshire is looking good in the middle, great technique.

Stupid penalty which stopped us stealing 3 points we had not earned!
So wasteful in the final 3rd - really missed Ozil today and need him back for the next game
Happy new year to everyone and all the Eds! Thanks for all the great banter and insider info
Hope you all have a great 2018

Why do arsenal make mediocre teams look like top 4 teams. No drive no ambition. Apart from wilshere and lacazette there's nothing happening. mertesacker coming on! Baggies will be trembling in their boots.

Why because we have players like iwobi and xhaka on the same team as bellerin. Total waste of spaces.

Iwobi.
Not a winger, not a Striker.
Doesn't score goals and never get's an assist.
What is his role exactly?

Iwobi starts.
Would rather have Walcott up top. More of a goal threat.

Dags, anyone off the bench (not mert though) would have been better. Xhaka and iwobi in the same team is like pulling teeth.
