If you were an arsenal fan watching that you have to be concerned. Leaves arguably their only play maker Ozil out presumably as he does not trust him to put in the effort bit what did the test of his team do - fuck all. They've followed the red shite in appeasing the fans with a well thought of former player, but they are in for lean times with that squad and no doubt auby whatever his name will be off in the summer. Not a lot of time for arsenal and their self entitled fans so long may it continue

Arsenal were Arsenal. No backbone. There was a stat up that in over 5 years they haven't won an away game at a top 6 club and in 25 games they've had one clean sheet.

They had three shots, none on target and no matter how you try and put spin on that, it's just simply not anywhere near good enough or acceptable for a club like Arsenal. Arteta is way out of his depth and as a club they run a very big risk of missing out on Europe altogether and becoming an equivalent of an Everton or some such club who once were part of the elite but who now are treading water.

Great to read that Garcia is all good. I was delighted to see him start last night, did a good job.

Yep, and this puts our win in perspective, we had 18 shots, 67% possession, but needed side show bob to fuck up twice to go 2-0 up.
If that’s sounds negative it is because I am in a shit negative mood :mrgreen:

You have to balance that with the fact that Razza - after about 300 tries - actually put the ball in the fuckin net :D

Once City got going I thought we were great. I think Arteta has something to work with there. They had some nice moments and if they stick with him and let him bring in a couple they'll get back up thereabouts. It'll take a while though and patience is needed.

Much better, more consistent, and more of a team player than Sane.

Agreed. They were utter garbage. Miles away from us and the dippers. And starting to fall way behind even the rags and are realistically no better than Everton or Leicester or Wolves or Sheffield.

I'd give Arteta a chance to bring a few in before judging too harshly.

He has sanctioned extending David Luiz contract and has just given that other lump Soares a 4 year contract who has yet to make an appearance - I wouldn't call that a great start in the HR department..
