Also Bendtner's continued existence (as an Arsenal player) is doing my head in.
You do realise we are missing:
Walcott
arteta
podolski
flamini
gnabry
Ox
Chelsea played with full reserves today, they had no one missing.
Like I already said: look at those players, they're ALL midfielders. We have a plethora of midfield talent but that's about it, look anywhere else and we're sorely lacking.

When you're starting players like Bendtner who shouldnt even be an Arsenal player and against a team like Chelsea then you're already well on your way to defeat. IMHO this game should have been a draw. Chelsea only beat us because they have experienced players who know the costs of making errors and have played enough games to handle/avoid situations that can lead to an unfavorable end result.

Thank Lord we lost here because now the boys will be back to Planet Earth and those suggesting that 2 points against Liverpool and United isn't akin to a "disaster" might just have realized that if we fail to beat 'Pool/United, we'd have lost to Dortmund, Chelsea, Dortmund again (likelihood), and drawn to United and Liverpool in a span of two weeks. So much for title challengers Arsenal!
We need to beat Liverpool and United now. Otherwise, we'd be flat track bullies and in the same predicament as we have been for many years. I don't care what happens against Dortmund next week. Due to all the injuries and Wenger's stupidity to bring on Ozil, Giroud, whilst starting both Ramsey and Wilshere, we have to do it the hard way now. And we didn't even win!

Anyway, last night was a disappointment, but in all honesty, was the result unexpected? I don't think so.
Mourinho is a better manager than Arsene and proved it again last night.

4 of those are wing forwards. Thats like people going on about chelsea not having depth when:
Willian
hazard
schurrle
de bruyne
or
nani
young
Valencia
Junaj
etc etc are ruled out for months.
its strange how people refuse to acknowledge these situations when going on about how poor our squad is.
