Ramsey back in at the heart of midfield and we play shit?

No surprise there.

Told you.

Thank god for a strong bench

That was well and truly Wenger's Arsenal !!! How to almost snatch defeat from the jaws of victory !!! Cruising and then wham. Defensive shambles at times.

Chelsea are lucky to be through, Derby are unlucky to be out !!!


Yep that's exactly what I saw, they passed, passed and passed until they almost fked it up again and again.

What bothered me is we were an assist away from a 3rd goal numerous times when Auba was on and instead of ruthlessly killing off the other team like we had done prior to Palace the team literally just passed back to defence instead of delivering the killer pass.

Would of been way more comfortable if we continued to attack properly pinning them back instead of allowing them to press us to death.

It's not bloody rocket science

If you attack a team like that for long enough you'll score

And if you're worried about being beaten on the break by bloody Blackpool.....

Not our finest 90 minutes ... with some of the new 'soul' players missing we reverted to frightened rabbits in the last 20 minutes ... he had to bring on three first team players just to shore thing up ... was very happy when their guy got a pretty harsh red ....

Will need the full starting eleven for the next round ....

The real bad thing is that our senior players were playing worse than our youth players. Ramsey was like a player doesn't deserve a new contract. Mhkitaryan was like a player doesn't deserve to be in any starting line up. Cech was like a player that should have retired. And we now they are better than that. Emery has bring new spirits to a lot of our players, but surely not all of them.

Ramsey was playing well overall. Not great, but not bad at all. Agendas everywhere it seems.
And I don't see your point at all. Yes, seniors like Cech and Mkhi were bad, but AMN was quite bad too. Although still promising, ESR wasn't that convincing. Jenkinson is surely 25 by now? Not a youth player anymore anyway. So with your statement you just say that they're playing worse than Guendouzi, which is fair enough but Guendouzi was our best player until he got sent off, and has been our best player in league games too. It doesn't really say anything.

We were in complete control and douzi got sent off

We conceded a set piece and did look shakey with a man down but it evened up and everything was fine again.

Peter cech is done. I actually can't believe his biggest weakness hasn't been uncovered until now. Man's feckin been superman for his entire career but a bit of high pressing kryptonite has him Clarke kenting all over the gaff

My thoughts after a nights sleep....Any progress Iwobi appeared to have made at the end of last season and the beginning of this, has been dramatically lost....as he’s now back in full ‘headless chicken’ mode.

What should have been an easy win turned out to be quite opposite against a team worth £ 450. ( inc subs)
