It was inevitable that our midfield would get exposed. Before that red card, look at how much space Willian had to run into. Flamini and Ramsey nowhere to be seen as they're casually jogging back from an attack. Of course Willian and Fabregas are going to run riot when we have no CMs. Just watch Flamini stand there and point at people while he actually does nothing to defend.

LMAO after a couple of minutes I remembered the discussion on here between you guys about how Ramsey leaves Flamini alone with his positional indiscipline etc.

So I tried to figure out where Ramsey was and whether he was helping.
Then suddenly there was Flamini popping up in what is roughly a second striker position and I thought 'oops.. who's actually playing in CM'

and Özil is absolutely stinking the place up today

Try playing 10 against 11 for 72'.

Has had no support around him whatsoever. He's not Messi and we all know that.

He's not been the same since Alexis and Santi got injured. Hopefully, now with Alexis back, ...

Why would u expect Ozil to play good when team is in crunch situation?why?

Awful manager. Single handedly brought down both Everton and Wigan from top half to lower half. All in the name of supposed "possession football" smfh

Oh I should add.

Walcott - playing LW since he came back from injury and been shit and off form.
Alexis - first game back from injury today.
Özil - has been at high injury risk, rested from training all month, missed 2 of last 3 games.

Sure. They'll win the game.

He's kinda carried the team since Santi/Alexis injuries. So much so that marking him out of the game pretty much made us toothless in all games so far.

Remy coming on is not good for Arsenal !

luckily you are not the manager of Arsenal, defending yourself before even 90 minutes are over.

Mate. I called this BEFORE the game.

And I am not 'defending' this team: I have been CRITICIZING them heavily. As I have for the last 4 weeks since we facked up at Soton.

Where is this Ozil is a choker mentality coming from?

I don't remember this when he destroyed Man City's entire life. Nor do I remember it when Arsenal killed Man U (back when they were actually playing pretty well). Nor do I remember it when Ozil was carrying arsenal basically every single game.

What I do remember is watching Arsenal-Soton where Ozil was so closely marked that he was surrounded by 2+ players every time he touched the ball, and Arsenal ended up losing that one 4-0.

GL loves its cliches and outdated stereotypes. That's where.

One ball-turnover-machine off, another on.

Ox on for Theo, that is.

It's so typical. A player is hyped up because he's actually been the best player in the EPL and then when he plays poorly for one game "I knew it, called it from the beginning, fraud who can't turn up in big games". Typical GL

I never purported that narrative. I just noticed he's shit today, which he was. From minute one.
Now he's playing as a central striker or something which is not helping.

Been playing there since the 23' mate

yes as I said it's not helping. But he was already bad before

Sanchez ball hogging during a counter

Why are Özil and Sanchez not reversed

So chelsea replaced their only man advantage over arsenal with hazard. Let's see if anyone notices..

Flamini has had 3 shots in prime. All off target. And we have not managed to convert 2 goal mouth scrambles.

Was hoping not to GL jinx it

You weren't the only one Hans

Arsenal

MAJOR FAIL

clowns

Thank God chelsea scored their only goal before the game was 10 vs 10 with hazard sending on!!!
