Perhaps not.
You celebrating a terrible defeat just to score a personal point? who didn't see that coming .... what a c***
Read this then go shove your "only 20m more" right up your arse ... you trolling piece of filth

and yeah I am pissed off ................................................
Arsenal stand to pocket around £43.4m in prize money if they defeat their London rivals and that would rise to £47.5m if they beat either Liverpool or Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup in Istanbul on August 14.
But simply appearing in the group stage of next season's Champions League would see Arsenal almost double their money, with over £20m television money, a hefty coefficient payment and a 'starting fee' of £13.4m just for participating.
If Arsenal were to replicate their Europa League group stage record of five wins and one draw from this season in next season's Champions League, they would add another £21m.

1) We give away too many chances. We get cut to shreds far too easily. This is a coaching issue, we lose our shape and over commit. Chelsea had a 2 vs 1 at one point in the 1st half ffs!
2) Too many individual mistakes. If its not CBs making rash decisions trying to win balls they either can't win or shouldn't try to win its full backs out of position then making rash lunges in the box. That tackle by AMN epitomises the point. But AMN is a midfielder, why has he been playing RB? Because Lichsteiner is shit. Fine. Are you telling me there is not a half decent defender in the entire club including the reserves that couldn't play there instead? Bollox.
3) Ozil didn't create, partly down to him partly down to the options around him. He was picking up the ball deep, we need him further forward. But when he is further forward we need movement and runners. We have no damn runners so most of Ozil's game is negated. He is just an expensive nobody in that case, unable to affect the game. He coasts through games taking the easy option but I winder how much of that is because there are often few options for him when he is on the ball.
4) Xhaka was our best midfielder by far. Let that sink in!! What happened to Torreira? He was pulled from pillar to post. We had 2 CMs that, come a Chelsea attack, were all too often nowhere near the middle of the pitch. Xhaka played some classy balls. But the midfield looked slow and ponderous. This same midfield had looked like world beaters at times though.
5) Help from wide was supposed to come from the wing backs, AMN put in a couple of half decent crosses but Kola was dog shit!! Not only offensively but defensively. I can't remember the last time he actually picked someone out with a cross. Look at the Giroud header, he was as picked out by Emerson. So our forward players don't get the service they need.
6) On to our forwards, Auba was terrible yesterday and to be honest he is mostly terrible. His link up play is some of the worst I have seen from any Arsenal forward and he lacks movement. Both he and Laca miss too many good chances - missing the target. They score lots of goals which is their saving grace but, need far too many chances getting there.
The problems here are 2 fold, a system not suited to the players/player's attributes and that is fully down to the manager and the players themselves either not being good enough for the role or making the wrong decisions on the pitch.
