I really get fed up from time to time with our supporters. How can it be that so many put their heads into their hands and give up on the evidence of three games? May I remind you that we have the same amount of points as Chelsea have! Some results go our way and we are in the top 4 next round.
We were poor against West Ham as well as Liverpool first half, and still are on par with Chelsea.
One might argue that they had better opponents but we can only play the teams infront of us.
Some of the critisism towards wenger is justified. Especially the playing players out of position. The not buying part is partially justified I think.
Many fear we will panic-buy and point to similar seasons. Yet many tend to overlook the fact that we bought good old Mesut on the deadline day!
Also pointing fingers at single players is a bit harsh. I was furious with Chambers and the crap he played but there is a reason he doesn't normally play. Not his fault he was thrown into cold water, probably getting the news just a few hours before the game.
Ever since özil came back from injury he looks like a beast and I don't get why he get's so much stick. He creates chance after chance after chance it really isn't his fault nobody puts them away. Of course he has a bad game here and ther but he's only human. Alexis didn't play particulary well the last couple of games and I can hear no shouts for him to be dropped.
How about we all start makeing up our own minds and not just repeating everything the pundits and so called experts say. If you come to the same conclusion as them fair enough but I feel many just say it because they read/heard it somewhere else.
I think round 10 is when we should make a first judgement about how our season is going

Yup - well said, too much negativity. Would like to have monitored the board the year of the invincables - probably didn't score enough or too many draws! Still would have been a Wenger out brigade ;-))

That's a decent post VG, I didn't listen to pundits or fans who have said all summer Olly and Theo didn't have enough to lead us to a serious challenge I hoped/thought they could have enough between them, I was wrong.
Its difficult at the moment to see anyone other than Sanchez scoring the winning goal for us in a tightly fought 50/50 game of very few chances for either team, Ollys a brilliant worker but we need to try give somebody new a chance to be our main goal getter.

What would you do at round 10 if we are twelve points behind?

hard to say steve
Would be heartbreaking to see such a thing again
I am however very reluctant to call for Wenger to go since I don't want to have to suffer throw that hangover like United still is

My point is you never wait, you act how you can when you can. You don't have to wait to see what's required.
