Arsenal (a) match thread

**** off Sagna

[Marina]

Sagna stop being such a little bitch

[Gibbo]

Playing against £100m worth of attacking midfielders + Ramsey who is on fire. Our midfield always had a job on. Do agree we need a more athletic tackler in midfield. Henderson has the energy but struggles in the tackle.

**** off Sagna

Lol arsenal would be the last team to kick it out. And always the first to moan.

[Leyton388]

I ****ing hate that Sagna **** I hope he gets chinned.

[Robbie-9-Fowler]

Why didn't Gibbs stay off the pitch the ****ing prick

[dizzycat]

Gibbs was off the bloody pitch then

[Marina]

What the **** was Gibbs trying to do? Dirty.

Been like a 78 minute long ice cold shower this. Utterly depressing.

Arteta....best player on the pitch today.

Very surprised with him.

been brilliant and works perfectly in their system.

Yeah it's shown how far away we are and we have a feck load more rebuilding to do, especially in midfield.

[Leyton388]

Our midfield is a massive problem and lucas is a big part of it. He's not had any competition since Mash left.

[danperkins]

Henderson & Lucas have been crap but Gerrard has even been involved enough to be considered crap. To be fair too... Lucas & Hendo are so over rated on here. EEekkk waits for backlash.. true though.

Sad to say this Gerrard Lucas thing has been found out today. Both too deep and too slow

Today?

Been found out almost every game.

We're being beaten away from home by the best team in the league, who have been consistently better than us for the last twenty years, who've had the same manager in place for the majority of that period so the team entirely understands his methods and philosophy, who have Champions League money and spent £42m on one if the best five players in the world this summer.

I think Arsenal will win the title this year, but even with this defeat we're still third, and as a work in progress. This game has underlined the areas where we are weak, but I'm still very optimistic about our development. I have confidence in Brendan to address those over time.
