Do we ever do well against teams that excel in pressing?

Do we ever do well against teams that excel in pressing?

Absolutely not. Even when smaller team press us like southampton and everton we really struggled. I think its the way we train. I dont think our players are used to that kind of pressing as they must have very relaxed training. I remember Clichy saying he was shocked when he started to train with City and saw players tackle. We didnt do that at Arsenal

im sure this will have something to do with out terrible injury record?
they are jut too damn scared to go near each other in training and this must rub off in actual matches. either that of they are just cowards which i dont really believe.some of them maybe but not all

they are not cowards. They are football players who all done well for other clubs. But you adapt to where you go. If you train less intense than your opponents every day. Its gonna become obvious after a while. Another worrying thing could be discipline problems. We have been hammered 3 times in early matches. With Girouds actions and him suggesting to join a threesome with another player. Maybe he is not one of and our players are not very professional and its obvious when you have a match 12pm with not alot of sleep the previous night

[Angelito]

The League is gone, and I just hope that Sanogo gets the now over Giroud. I can't believe we've fallen from van Persie to Giroud.

thats the worst display of football i think ive seen from an arsenal team they are a disgrace and wenger should have the balls to publicly shame them,it beggers beyond belief how they can play so badly and nothing said wengers to soft and in a nutshell some of this present crop are not worth a toss and should be made aware of this,you dont see chelsea city or liverpool being hammered in such a way,and this really can only be wengers fault as a tactician he sucks no plan b never has never will,hes living on pass glories.

Arsène Wenger gave his thoughts on the 6-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday.

Read a transcript of what he had to say below:

on the defeat...
It was a nightmare and I take full responsibility for it. What is important is to give a response on Tuesday night and that is it.

on what went wrong...
I don’t believe it is the time to talk too much about that. The players are deeply disappointed as we all are. I think let us prepare for the next game

on the sending off...
The referee made a mistake because he missed the identity of the player. He has not seen what happened at all. He gave a corner. Maybe it was a penalty. But it was not Gibbs.

on whether it was a sending off offence...
I don’t know I have not seen it. If it is a deliberate handball yes. If it is not a deliberate handball then no.

on the title race...
It leaves it in a very bad situation. But we want to respond. We had two difficult away games at Tottenham and Chelsea. If we had played two draws we’d have two points. Having won one we have three points. But today is a huge disappointment of course. When you don’t turn up in a game if this stature – nobody takes that easy

on whether he still believes...
We have to win the next game. That is what we have to focus on now and give a strong response.

least he didn't spout his usual bollocks got to give him credit for that

[redordead]

and why take podolski off when we are already being battered at least he could of told them to go all out to try and get something out of it

[greengoonerie]

Sorry VCC? Read it again! IMO it was a classic wenger bolloxology response and typical of arsenes disdain for arsenal fans.

He flatly refused to discuss the shambles - avoidance technique typical of the man when faced with a problem.

'What is important is how we respond' - eh no arsene what is important is that you explain how you got it so hopelessly wrong in team selection yesterday. That's what arsenal fans expect at the least.

'I didnt the see it'- his most famous phrase!! It appears that only arsene and the match officials didn't see it. (the hand ball) - almost as embarrassing as the teams performance yesterday.

' it is important how we Prepare for the next game' - in the same manner as the team prepared for yesterday, and the pool game and the city game?

There is a systemic failure in the club this season and arsenes ego refuses to acknowledge or deal with it.

The beatings will continue until the manager improves

Or goes, his refusal yesterday was pathetic, the fans pay the money they desire better, how many time has he said ...my fault, then do something about it FFS.
