There was so much wrong with yesterday's game that it is almost impossible to go into details.
We concede once (I question Cech's positioning on the free kick) then we implode. Mental frailty again and again. Tough sides play better when someone has the temerity to score against them.
25 minutes of abject patheticness follows.
Selection MADNESS. Sanchez cannot play CF except in maybe a 442. He was worse than Walcott as a cf, imo.
Other people have mentioned the other selection stupidities.

Wenger has to go. I can see us having 1 or 2 points after 4 games but Wenger is so blinded by his past glories and conviction that he is right and the rest of the world wrong that he will hang on. Hull with no manager are doing better than us with our most experienced in Europe (megalomaniac) manager.

Melbourne, I agree with the mental frailty point. There are no leaders in the team . We need people who will fight not self absorbed and image obsessed players who are quite happy to get a footballing lesson and post another cosy little selfie. They don't hurt the way a team of winners should and it stems from a board and management team who lack any ambition. This club is fast becoming a target for ridicule and it is easy to see why . It also annoys me that the fans are treated with contempt when they raise valid questions over the ambitions of the club and there is a lack of transparency from the top. I seriously hope something changes this season, whether it is our players attitudes or the management changes their philosophy but I just can't see it at the moment .

What I don't get is he has made mertesacker the captain who won't be playing for months, what message does that send to the rest of team. He must sign a striker and cb they are an absolute minimum.
