Sanchez? Has he given up or just completely knacked!
He trys but the urgency and desperation of last season just don't seem to be there any longer.
Fed up or worn out?

He wants away Gunner. Sinking ship! Nice to see your boy Poulter nock a 10 over today at the masters.

Quite possibly NE mate, hope not but wouldn't be a surprise if both Sanchez and Ozil try to get moves this summer at 28 ish their in thier prime so naturally will want to be competing.
Masters? Golf? Its always the windmill that gets me although I'm quite good at the bridge and the slanty slope bit :-)

Arsenal depress me, more than before, this season. It is like we lack a plan, a defence and a structure in terms of our team.

09 Apr 2016 18:14:55
Same as the previous decade.

09 Apr 2016 23:00:23
Different season, different players different finances, same manager, same tattics, same result! Think we can work out what's going wrong.
'All good things got to come to an end' as someone once sang.

Lets be fair not many CD like playing against AC, few can handle him.

Great game to watch frustrations aside, iwobi had another very good game but our defending is school boy at times. Bilic is building a very good team but he got his team shape all wrong to start the game, which we exploited. But you can't defend like that and say we are capable of winning the league. We are so easily found out time after time.

09 Apr 2016 15:18:44
We can't defend like we defend and be champions and niether can you waste so many chances like we do and be champions.
3 players who are better than we already have would make a huge difference and they don't necessarily the best in the business to make us much improved.

Didn't get to see the game today only listened to it but wow it sounded like the game of the season :) the defence was sounded out to be atrocious.

Why can't bouldy stamp the GG way on them?

Andy Carroll scored a hatrick against us. that in itself says it all about how our defence was today.

09 Apr 2016 16:19:16
Je I think the George Graham thing is valid because we've never fished top two without having atleast 2 George players in the squad and I do think more and more looking back that although Arsene promotes attractive positive football he might never have enjoyed the successe of his fist 8 seasons without the team he inherited mentality and discipline.

09 Apr 2016 18:50:16
You nailed it G62, it was GG's imprint that had that defence solid.

Something seriously needs looking at, I think the defenders we have are good enough it just seems they lack a structure.

09 Apr 2016 21:45:19
Zonal marking is the problem, go back to man marking and we would improve.

09 Apr 2016 23:05:41
a few years ago we done the stadium tour with Charlie George. He was asked would Graham's team loose a 2-0 lead. Didn't think and said NO! It's a failure of management not to have the tools of the trade i. e. the right players to do the right job.

10 Apr 2016 00:28:10
I agree zonal marking is a massive problem, a big no, no for me.

Sag. You're absolutely right mate, they wouldn't dare chuck away a two goal lead. Like I said I reckon we have the defenders to do it but they need some coaching and gelling together, we need to have a back four that picks itself so they can basically be telepathic with each other.

10 Apr 2016 00:36:03
Sagalout, its fans like you that wind me up. Failure of management? No it was the players that messed that up. I'm all up for a Change in management but not everything is his Fault.

Dags add payet and lanzini to bargain buys of the season.

09 Apr 2016 23:23:29
Steve,
I have always singled Payet out.

Absolutely top top player.

No win situation for Arsene in choosing Ospina for today, if we keep a clean sheet and win people will say that would have happened with Cech too but if we conceede Ospinas position/ handling/ judgement and whole ability will be questioned simply because Cech is unquestionably our best keeper.
For me a silly chioce for all concerned.

09 Apr 2016 12:41:43
If ospina makes an error wrong call if he doesn't, right call.

09 Apr 2016 12:54:13
I don't always rely on stats, but Ospina's stats are better than Cech's.

09 Apr 2016 16:23:29
Dags you are truly insane.

09 Apr 2016 06:36:26
Massive match today. Let's get behind Wenger and the team. A win is vital.

09 Apr 2016 09:40:47
Win for us and a draw and poissibky even a defeat for Spurs this weekend IMO.
