For those blaming Wenger...

This is the same team he's put out during our incredible form for the most of this year. They were shite in the first half (ZERO shots). Not quite Wenger's fault.

He tries to instill energy into the team by putting in two pretty energetic players in Wilshere and Walcott. To be fair, Wenger is damned if he doesn't make substitutes and damned if he does according to you lot.

How about we blame the players for being shite instead of Wenger for sticking with what has been working.

Why f*cking sub Giroud when we are chasing the game? who else is gonna score if Sanchez isn't on his game?

You admit not watching untill the 70th minute. How do you have the audacity to judge Ozil again? No agenda right :lol:


Saw the score and watched us pushing for the goal and then chasing the game. I'm not judging everyone, but don't you think our "most important player" as you call him should be taking charge when we look desperate? He was nowhere to be seen as always when the going gets tough.

So black and white for some people.

Of course at 0-0 you make subs, what you don't do is take off 2 players from the spine of your team. wilshere for Ramsey was the logical sub followed by Walcott for Ozil. Then at 1-0 down you show some fight but no not even 2 mins for rosicky

After working for together with Walcott for nearly a decade he out of all people should know he loses 95% of his effectiveness against teams that sit deep and even more so when he's played as lone striker. Taking off Giroud was a managerial howler. One could argue he had a knock or two but he clearly wasn't limping or suffering from it and looked very disappointed to be taken off, and rightly so. You could just tell by his facial expression he was fearing the worst and he was right.

As is starting Ramsey wide at home against a team you know will sit back.

I believe Wenger was proven right in putting Walcott in as a CF. Walcott has been begging for it and Wenger knew it wouldn't work. I think it was so Wenger could have the last laugh.

He sabotaged the team so he could say 'I told you so' to Walcott...?

I can get behind this theory tbh.

Wenger looses 1 game in what? 13 matches and already people want him to go. Because swansea get lucky and we mess up?

the only thing we learned today is we badly need another striker.

Thank you! Someone finally gets me.

To be fair, we didn't have anything to lose really. Top 4 is in the bag. 2-4 doesn't matter since the Champion$ League money is the same.

Good point. Wenger's only mistake of the night was replacing Giroud with Walcott

When having Wilshere at his disposal, a player that doesn't drift inside constantly, who can actually provide you with some wing play as well as baby-sit Bellerín - who I believe has being overprotected by Wenger lately - especially today at home against a side that showed very little intent of going forward.
