hello mr wenger it's not too late yet to buy a whole new defence

[–]HotDamnHellYeah 21 points22 points  (3 children)

Haha, just saw this on twitter: "It's depressing to think that anyone who bought an Emirates snack this evening has spent more in January than Wenger has."

[–]gruesomeb 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Walcott needs to trust Giroud. He had a good chance of scoring there.

[–]Ygqk 17 points18 points  (10 children)

@bbcsport_david confirms on @bbc5live that Arsenal are still in for David Villa & also confirms #AFC have back up targets. (via BBCSport)

He's pretty much one of the most reliable sources on Arsenal.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (5 children)

I'd love to see us make some signings, but I just can't see it happening now.

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (3 children)

really? i feel like a ton of our signings happen at the end

[–]Drewsta1987Once walked out on to pitch with the team, Bould patted my head 19 points20 points  (3 children)

We are the absolute best at comical defending.

[–][deleted] 56 points57 points  (3 children)

Suarez is a better LB than Santos is.

[–][deleted] 31 points32 points  (1 child)

Guys! The game doesn't start for another 40 minutes! Chill out!

Edit: Yes.

[–]TomFotz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arsenal are so good they only need to play one half...

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Sagna, Verms, and Per all managed to screw that one up. That's awful.

[–]Tuc_44 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ah are you serious?! Podolski won that challenge!

[–]113CandleMagic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

God dammit Sagna.

[–]v4MunchGerman Jöy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I got 99 problems, and their all shitty streams.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (2 children)

If it wasn't for Podolski then we would be screwed. The guy is doing both the offensive and defensive work on the left side.

Santos didn't even play full match and is still walking around.

[–][deleted] 46 points47 points  (20 children)

Now Gibbs is injured! 60 minutes of Andre fucking Santos, fantastic.

[–]your_nan 8 points9 points  (2 children)

If I see "Gibbs ruled out for 3 weeks", I'm ending myself.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (14 children)

Who's this commentator on Fox Soccer criticising Sagna for competing for the ball? What a complete fucking clown.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (9 children)

I want to know why he feels the need to be the only person to call Santi "Cathorla".

[–][deleted]  (4 children)

[deleted]

    [–]micsare4swingngNOzil NOzil NOzil NOzil NOzil 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Yes, but Santi has made it clear that he wants to be called Cazorla and not Cathorla in England

    [–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (3 children)

    Wilshere is bossing Gerrard.

    [–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

    Usmanov has planted the seed, now all he has to do is watch it grow

    [–]DarthnomsterSaliba 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    BBC Sport Chief Football Writer Phil McNulty at the Emirates:

    "Liverpool lead 1-0 - and quite frankly Arsenal should be delighted with that. It would insult schoolboys to suggest the Gunners have been defending like schoolboys."

    [–]reddituser1357 16 points17 points  (6 children)

    Hopefully we'll start playing in the first half rather than the second half.

    [–]CM816Ourteta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    This is the key to the match, for me. The desire will be necessary from kickoff to the final whistle.

    [–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    nope

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    So much for that :(

    Only pussies play both halves of football matches.

    [–]braulio09One-nil to the Arsenal 13 points14 points  (5 children)

    another assist walcott fucks up. Giroud was all alone in the middle.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Seriously, easy tap in.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    So was the pass from Podolski :/

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    So far called the first goal, the mess ups by Cazorla, Sagna and Vermaelen.

    I really hope that I'm right and we make a good comeback. the Prediction

    Edit: The stream went offline right after they scored their 2nd goal. I find a new stream after like 3 minutes, tune it and see that score is now 2-2. Not complaining :p

    I've been right about the score so far. Not the time though.

    [–]rymin91Keeper of the Faith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Mert has been really disappointing the last several games. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why Koscielny isn't starting in his place.

    [–]GooseJuice-xoForward. 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    I love this club.

    [–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    i really dont mind podolski shooting every time.

    [–]TheContemplatingMind 22 points23 points  (12 children)

    It's great to see Wilshere and Ramsey getting a run of games together in the starting 11, hopefully we are witnessing the beginning of a legendary midfield duo!

    Edit: Unimaginable start, definitely won't stop the calls for Jenkinson over Sagna.

    Edit 2: This just goes to show badly we need to shore up our defense, our attack deserves a more solid back 4 behind them.

    [–]TomFotz 19 points20 points  (6 children)

    British Xavi and Iniesta, right guys?

    Second half we are gonna be incredible

    [–]Iamabigdinosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Please do not take off Podolski, been our best player by a mile.

    [–]froggerslogger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    That might be one of the luckiest series of deflections I've ever seen to set up Henderson. Terribly unfortunate for Arsenal as they seemed to be coming back into the game.

    [–]TurdFurgeson22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    So..... Giroud is good.

    [–]acidity 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    You can tell Poldi does not want to give Santos the ball.

    [–]reddituser1357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    It was like whatever extra Wilshere+Podolski+Giroud added was not enough for the enormous chasm of incompetence that is Santos.

    [–]samwelljacksonboobs 9 points10 points  (2 children)

    I'm gonna support Santos because I do believe he's talented and is a scapegoat a lot of the time and an easy target... but why not bring on Kos and shift TV5 over?

    [–]MrAaronian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

    At least spurs are losing.

    [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    I respect Liverpool and think they're a great team. Now that's out the way, I sincerely hope we go out there and absolutely humiliate them for the full 90 minutes.

    I want to see Downing cry.

    [–]ProneMasturbationManRise from the Ashes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I'd rather see Suarez cry

    Either Sagna or Glen Johnson is going to end up dead the way this game is going between them.

    Ramsey has made a number of strong challenges today, very combative performance from him so far, although he could be doing better on the ball.

    [–]Heroic_Lifesaver 7 points8 points  (2 children)

    So guys, about this time last week we went in a half time level with West Ham, the produced 4 goals in the first 11 minutes of the second half.

    Something, somewhere was said or done that led to that happening. Leave nothing to chance. I'm going to do the exact same thing this half time as i did last week.

    With that said, I'm off for a wank.

    [–]ProneMasturbationManRise from the Ashes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    We've signed a player! His name is 'ibbs'!

    [–]CM816Ourteta 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    Suárez was winking at the Arsenal players in the pre-game handshake line - he's all but a guaranteed transfer addition!

    Fuck. Sagna.

    Sagna, he slipped.

    [–]ProneMasturbationManRise from the Ashes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    @OptaJoe :13 - Arsenal have made more errors leading directly to a goal than any other team in the PL this season.

    Steve Bould effect, huh?

    [–]gavbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Every time Suarez gets the ball I just about shit myself

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    I feel like Sagna just runs out of ideas on offense and tries to smash it into the box, which generally leads to it just hitting the defender.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Some ass hat has been downvoting everything. Doing my best to counter it.

    [–]UnspeakableEvil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Pretty sure the chances are going to come for us - it's just a case of how many more chances we want to give Liverpool before we actually tighten up.

    We're definitely not the best in the league, but my god we're the most entertaining.

    [–]Bearpantz 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    I have always thought that one of the issues with having Santos on was that unlike Gibbs, who stays very wide, Santos likes to cut inside during an attacking move. When he does this it has formally clogged up our midfield and needlessly taken up space. Today he has done the same thing, but now when he cuts in it seems like more often than not Santi has drifted outside allowing Poldi to still cut in like he likes to along with Santos without having to many bodies in the middle and none on the left flank. It has been a good adjustment.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Beautiful counter-attacking play from Podolski and Cazorla, gorgeous movement and foresight.

    Something is going on between Theo and Giroud. I know vision isn't Theo's forte, but he's really not passing it to Giroud when he should.

    [–]ProneMasturbationManRise from the Ashes 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Are you referring to personal issues?

    [–]DwadeHarmonious✓ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Honestly, I'm not sure. It could be that, it could be Theo trying to assert a stronger role in the team's attack, it could even be that Theo is just trying too hard to earn his new contract. Whatever it is, it's messing with the mojo.
