Besiktas v Arsenal LIVE

I still feel like my calibrations are different from a lot of people's in terms of what counts as terrible -> mediocre -> average -> good.

I see a lot of merely OK performances getting decried like this was 8-2 at Old Trafford or something. Relax.

Giroud isn't having a great day but things will be fine.

At this point I would take anyone as our CF, this first half has shown just how bad we need to buy another striker.

Really not happy with Cazorla also.

..............some times, the posts on GL make me wonder why I am here.. Jeeezzus!

Put alexis as striker please

Wenger just took off the only player who was positive offensively, what a dense idiot.

wow

What a dive. Appaling reff

then did not call the same thing when it happened to jack.

Giroud is starting to look like he is on a Sunday stroll.

Nothing to say. Ramsey sending off for tugging shirts TWICE kinda sums it up. Forgettable night.

Wenger

Takes off Alexis of all the underperforming players on the pitch and decides to bring Rosicky on on the 90th minute, that must've made big impact...

Awful match

Wenger took off Alexis because he was thinking about Everton, I imagine. That's all.

i can feel it, this side is going to click soon, but wenger just need to get the right team. i would try out campbell up top. ox just has to play too.

Painful performance at least, we're still in it. We stood firm thanks to Sir Chesny and the back line, really impressed by Debuchy, 3 games in a row. Other than that, nothing to say about midfield or striker play today as it's so disconnected with only 1 or 2 moment here and there.

Wenger needs to find an idea position for Sanchez, he has the pace and dribble but often forced out wide instead of cutting in. Right now I would bench Santi and play Sanchez on the left and Ox on the right, Ox did really well when he came on. Three games I feel, Jack and Rambo can't operate together, they're too similar and often step on each other territories. Forgettable display by Giroud, don't scapegoat him but sometimes he should try harder with his 1v1.

Word.

Alexis was spent.

you're here because we need you, sri.

i feel up beat because i know we are going to be awesome onces wenger gets the team right,

flamini
wilshere ozil
OX campbell sanchez

that side will be bleeping amazing imo. we should play this vs besiktas.

Rambo > Wilshere
flat-out, Jack has not earned anything yet.

I'm confident we'll beat Besiktas at the Emirates, better pitch, better home record, players returning. Ramsey/Cazorla/Giroud performances are worrying though.

Chambers/Koscielny/Monreal/Szczesny were good, Wilshere was our best attacking player I thought. Important was that we kept a cleansheet, the rest should be done at the Emirates.

He talking about the next qualifying game that Ramsey wont be playing in.

Hansie My faith is restored

(Btw, I read your play on the Folly of Kroos going - Loss of words mate, top top read!)

I have important things to do, with pressure mounting, that's why my procrastination activities become more and more creative
