agree with that
we spend far too much time talking to the ref rather than concentrating on the game
but it had nothing to do with a head injury
the game should have been stopped because it was a foul

Wenger after the game...

on an improved second-half performance…

Tactically we changed some things. Psychologically I felt we were more on the front foot. We had a similar start to Man City last week - didn’t really go for it, didn’t really defend well and gave too much room to Chelsea. On top of that, I feel we were a bit unlucky because it was a free kick on the first goal and it was not a penalty on the second goal. We were a bit unlucky. We didn’t play well in the first half. In the second half we came out with a different spirit, a different attitude and were much more dangerous and dominated the whole second half. Unfortunately, we didn’t come back. We didn’t make enough of our corners and free kicks and didn’t make enough of the chances we created. That’s why we lost the game. It’s very damaging for our position in the league and very difficult to swallow.

on the difference in first and second-half performances…

It’s similar to last week. After you discover that a team has fantastic quality and spirit. We come into the game when we’re 2-0 down. That’s worrying of course, because in the big games, once you start at 2-0 down, it’s very difficult.

on the first-half performance…
Chelsea played well and I feel we were not well positioned on the pitch. We were too stretched and individually gave them too much room to play. We didn’t defend tight enough. We were always allowing them to play when they wanted.

on the foul on Coquelin…

The referee gave many free kicks today. Some were much less than the Coquelin one. It’s frustrating. It doesn’t mean that we should have conceded the goal, but it’s frustrating because in the big games, these kind of decisions have big importance.

on the penalty…

He could have given a yellow card to Ramires as well.

on explaining the first-half display…

We had a physical problem to get going today. In the second half it was much better. When you play every three days, it’s difficult to know. There’s a psychological ingredient in there for sure. I felt that in the last two games that we didn’t really go for it from the start.

on being six points outside the top four…

The table is the table. We have lost two big games in the last week and that’s very damaging for us. We cannot afford to drop points anymore if we want to be in the top four. It’s a concern.

on if there is a leadership issue…

There’s a great spirit in the team. There’s great quality in the team. The team has to believe more in the quality we have. You could see with 10 men against Man City and today again that we can be dominant in the games. We have to [do that] from the start.

on critics saying the team can’t challenge for titles…

I wouldn’t like to comment on every opinion of people. What is important is that we focus on giving our best in the next game and our next game is on Wednesday.

on potential signings…

We’ll see what we can do. We are not close to signing anybody tonight or tomorrow morning.

This is bordering on negligence from aw.. Of we have no money atleast be honest and let everyone know then we wouldn't have such high expectation but because he constantly stated he could spen 30mil we all wonder why he doesn't do it especially with how weak our squad is...Either buy or go because these results just get more and more depressing

Shouldn't he have adressed these problems during the week then?

Unfortunately, we didn’t come back. We didn’t make enough of our corners and free kicks

Then why is Walcott taking them ffs

and didn’t make enough of the chances we created.

Get your f***ing wallet out then

That’s why we lost the game. It’s very damaging for our position in the league and very difficult to swallow.

Here's an idea adress the issues we clearly have :thumbsup:

GET A BIGGER SQUAD

I hate the media in this country.....non of them challenge on him anything. We had physical problems get going.....WTF does that even mean? Surely you suffer physically as the game goes on and not the start and get fitter the more you play?

Would have been epic if you were there to actually ask him these questions. I'd bet my last £ he would have walked out pissed off.

Same, 2-2 at least. :)


Only if, Wenger makes the right substitutions.

Sagna for Jenkinson
Ramsey for Diaby
Arshavin for Walcott

Szcz
Jenkinson Mert Verm Gibbs
Ramsey Coquelin
Cazorla Wilshere Arshavin
Giroud



Got a feeling Theo will score one despite him being completely anonymous.

Defo Jenk for Sagna though

good call sir though his anonimity was shot rather when he played in giroud after 5 mins

Walcott seriously needs to stop taking our set pieces and Santi needs to start. Jack's aren't that great either, and the only time we were remotely dangerous from them in the past two games were when Santi took them.

I agree, Theo's delivery was atrocious today, every corner kick he took floated straight into the hands of Cech.

Won't it be funny when we miss the UCL but win the FA cup? :BangHead:


id take that scenario all day!! :P


Really? I guess as long as Sp*rs are still below us it'd be acceptable. The Europa league is a massive waste of time though.

who gives a f**k where spurs are
i want arsenal to win everything we are in
i expect everyone from players fans to the tea lady to feel the same
