Can't say the result comes as a surprise to me, the second I saw the team sheet, I knew we were in for a tough night.

Once again Wenger shows a lack of respect towards teams that were touted to beat easily, he does this every time, and it backfires every time. His team selection and hs tactics will always hold us back. I down to ten men and he's still reluctant to change things until deep into the second half, it's beyond a joke!

I always worry with ospina, he's hot the best shot stopper and Whis lack of height will always be a liability. Wenger just have thought we were in the capital on cup starting him,

Debuchy was awful yet again. Can't believe hector didn't even travel.
Despite conceding two, our centre backs had a good game, Gabriel is an absolute monster!
Gibbs did ok, but again, this early into the season, Monreal didn't need to be rested.
Arteta and Santi were both pish poor. I'd have Rambo and le coq start over them any day.
Ozil had a crap first half, but was good to see him take responsibility and try to bag a goal in the second. Now he just needs to learn to stay onside.
Rare off day for the Ox, he'll bounce back quickly.
Sanchez was Sanchez, our best attacking player.
Giroud was Giroud, just utterly woeful, his hold up play was non existent, too weak for a lad his size, and his finishing... Don't get me started. He was hard done by for the first booking, but knowing he was on a yellow, the sevond foul was a joke. Hope Walcott starts over him for the rest of the season.

And what in the blue hell did Wenger ever see in Campbell?! He was almost as bad as Giroud.

Another embarrassing loss from another must win game, and the failt lies at the managers feet again.

Wenger MUST go! I only hope the results go that badly against that he resigns because he can't handle the stick. We know the board will never sack him.

Id take adebayor on a short term deal over giroud and I stick by that. But Cavani was the one if they said 50mil and we didn't pay it then we deserve nights like this I guess :(

Walcott has a run now to prove to Wenger he's the missing link uptop. Giroud will never be that guy so let's just give Walcott games when we can

{Ed002's Note - You understand that the transfer window is shut?}

CIG is this post a joke or for real?

yes it was a very poor result agaist a team we should not be losing to but to get on the wenger out train is ridiculous, you seem to no let player take any repsponsability.

your moaning that he played debuchy - France international right back
moaning that he played Gibbs, England international
Ospina was great for us last season and had some of the best stats in the prem league
Santi has been one of our best and most consistent performers but your moaning he was playing
people have been begging for the ox to start

all the player are to blame, no urgency and they let themselves down.

as for losing another must win game!! i didn't realise that after 1 away game in the champs league we were out if we did not win..

bad result yes, but don't be blind to the fact that those players should have been good enough to get a result over there.

You obviously didn't read the entirety of my post.

I did say Gibbs did ok... Not moaning about him starting, but it was unnecessary to rest monreal... Our first choice right back.
Being an international right back has no reflection on current form, yes Debuchy is a top player, but his form has been way below par, being an international does nothing to argue against that.
I've never been a fan of Santo, he does a lot for us, but he gives the ball away far too frequently and far too cheaply, Rambo has the engine to offer us so much more than Santi from that position.
I'll agree that Ospina did do well, but he did have a lot of moments that show he can be a liability. If he was that good, then why did we buy Cech?

If you paid more attention, you'd know that I've been anti-Wenger for a good few years now. I'm not jumping on any train here.

Considering the group were in, we face an uphill struggle to reach the last 16 after a result like that, this should never be the case.

Yes the players were poor, but in these situations, it's up to the manager to make changes to rectify this. At 1-0 down and a man down any other manager would have changed things at half time. Even when were a man down Wenger has no plan B and a distinct inability to change tactics on the fly. He's past it and he's hold our club back, poor results like this can only be his fault. On the night, and in the grander scheme of things. It's Crystal clear

I get you point, and i am not saying that being an international has a reflection on form, however these are good player when on form and should have enough to get a result in this game, it a long season and a squad game, out of our next 5 games we will need to rotate and of those games this would have been the one that everybody would have thought we should be able to do that.

These player need game time to get their form so when they do come in they are not completely cold of game time.

I agree with you i prefer all the payer you mention in the position you mention but they are not going to play week in week out so at some point we need these players, and its for them to step up, which they did not do.

I did not mean you suddenly becoming anti wenger he divides opinion but i really don't think he should shoulder the responsibility for this game at all. not knocking your thoughts or opinions as we all want the same thing and that is for arsenal to win major trophies but for all the tactics and planning and selection wenger can not control the players attitudes on the night which was the real issue for losing last night.
