Hope we improve in 2nd half

Great chart Sena. The reason we're countered more than usual is because of the lost balls in the final third. Chelsea's nimble attacker exploit the space left by our fullbacks.

Need to improve on that front and hope we score a goal somehow and than park the bus for the rest of the match.

Just one of those days when nothing comes together.

Montpellier had it last week now it's our turn it seems.

Gervinho effing pathetic, koscielny horrible, verminator impatient. My day is ruined. Wenger should stop playing gervinho as striker. Pathetic!

Here are my thoughts:

Those were 2 soft ass goals to let in . Scz would have stopped em both. Manonne is fkin scared to commit when a ball is crossed in the box. THat last goal being the perfect example. Defenders did have an off day, but those goals should have been easily taken care of .
Fair play to Chelsea, they looked as tho they wanted the 3 points more than us.
This game makes me realize just how important Per Mertesacker is to us (He should start from now onward). Hope we learn from this match.

Oh yea, and not at all convinced with Gervinho.... Would have rather we kept Podolski instead.

this game did slip away , but I cant convince my self that we deserved 3 points from his

Wenger should stop playing Gervinho period. Watching him play is like watching a dolphin try to swim through a fishing net.
