Giroud NEEDS to come off at half-time for Oxlade-Chamberlain. gotta exploit that high line with Theo.

The Ox has been pretty bad this season, I wouldn't stick him on right now.

 

[Yen]

We could still win.

No

 

[ShallNoiseUpon]

Is Piers Morgan melting down yet?

 

[Judderman]

My phone was dead so I couldn't post from Mobile GAF. Goddamnit our defense is dreadful.

 

[Gareth Bale]

So many times Parker has had the ball in front of Arsenal's defence and has no idea what to do with it. Only once he played the right ball. That needs addressing.

 

[Ingeniero]

the defense....

 

[CyclopsRock]

I bet on 2nd half to have more goals. It's going to have to be fairly bombastic for that to happen... But it will. Come on 5-0.

 

[3Sixty]

This is hilarious.

An example of how to do everything wrong.

 

[Meier]

Ahaha, Piers Morgan is one of the studio analysts on FSC today. I love seeing him get so worked up.

 

[Clegg]

Arsenal were pretty comfortable in that first half. But they have the worst defensive positioning and patterns out of the top Premier League teams. The defenders don't know where their partners are. They don't even know where the opposition is ffs.

 

[arkon]

Arsenal to pull it back to 2-2 and then lose 3-2 with a goal in the last minute from Lloris.

 

[jtb]

The Ox has been pretty bad this season, I wouldn't stick him on right now.

maybe Podolski on the left then. someone, anyone. (as long as it's not Gervinho...)

 

[Judderman]

I'm so glad I don't have to listen to Piers Morgan, the cunt.

 

[Salvadora]

No

Why not? It's a very open game.

Giroud NEEDS to come off at half-time for Oxlade-Chamberlain. gotta exploit that high line with Theo.

Its quite sad watching Giroud play against a high line, completely unable to exploit it because of his lack of pace to get behind consistently, and poor touches when he does get in behind

 

[arkon]

Why not? It's a very open game.

Just hard to see you outscoring Spurs by two in the second half, especially as they don't really need to keep a high line. They can just look to counter while sitting on the 2-0 lead.

The Steve Bould effect.

 

[K1LLER7]

Bale was pretty quiet up to the goal.

Both teams defending too high up. Arsenal grab the next goal, they could get back in this. Take Giroud off for Gervinho.

 

[Randdalf]

Arsenal always turn up in the second half so I wouldn't count them out yet.

 

[Facism]

Hahahah red card for Jack Wilshere.

Two footed. Jack the ripper indeed.

you lied to me.

 

[bud]

Half time he needs to come off for Podolski and move Cazorla back into the middle.

why put cazorla in the middle when ramsey can play there?

 

[Kyoufu]

Would be amazing if we got Wenger in the summer.

 

[Ushojax]

I'm still bricking it. Arsenal always come back in the second half and we need to be strong and determined.

AVB needs to do something about Ade, I'm not comfortable with him. The booking has made him unsure of when to press.

 

[Joel Was Right]

It's not time to worry yet. If we score next, we have a game on. The actual match doesn't reflect the scoreline. I think we will score.

They've conceded the fewest away goals in the league

We've never had a problem scoring against Spurs. It's on.

 

[Keyser Soze]

LOL @ Paddy Power offering 4/1 on Bale Anytime

 

[The_Hitcher89]

I don't think Wenger will manage anyone after Arsenal. Maybe DoF somewhere

 

[Slizz]

It never does apparently when Arsenal play.

 

[feel]

Nooooo got distracted and missed the first half! Fudge

2 goals up is sweet

 

[CyclopsRock]

Ahaha, Piers Morgan is one of the studio analysts on FSC today. I love seeing him get so worked up.

He was against Lawro on the BBC's prediction challenge this weekend. He stated Arsenal to win 8-0.

Ancelloti to Real, Wenger to PSG, Pardew to Arsenal, Shearer to Toon

Not time to worry? Our defence sucks. Our goalkeeper sucks.

Lol. What a load of crock!

Take off Adebayor, bring on Holtby, and play Dembele/Parker/Sigurdsson deeper. Don't let Wilshere have space to run through in the middle and force them to play on the wings where they're much less effective.

Niall Quinn has massive hands

 

[bone_and_sinew]

Arsenal need a new keeper defenders manager team.

 

[Randdalf]

You know what they say about men with massive hands.

Spoiler

That they're fucking terrible pundits

 

[Kyoufu]

Ancelloti to Real, Wenger to PSG, Pardew to Arsenal, Shearer to Toon

I'd kill myself.

 

[Timurid]

Ancelloti to Real, Wenger to PSG, Pardew to Arsenal, Shearer to Toon

That would be awesome!

 

[Clegg]

Both of Spurs goals were carbon copies of each other. The defenders keep backing off and then Vermaelen inexplicably steps up and loses Bale. Monrael and Vermaelen lose Lennon and then he scores too. Both goals were created from simple passes that went through an Arsenal defence leaving way too much space.

That's just awful stuff from Arsenal.

 

[bud]

the spurs are such a mediocre team. it's only due to arsenal's absolutely comedic defending that they've scored two goals.

this is depressing.

Ha, I was gonna say 'they're fucking terrible commentators?'

 

[Freewheelin']

LOOOOOOOOOL

We suck.

 

[Joel Was Right]

I can still see us winning this game if we score early. The first half didn't see a Spurs team we should fear

 

[Fry]

Spurs are fucked when Bale leaves.

 

[jtb]

I am so sick of Vermaelen. I used to think he was a decent defender, but now I'm convinced he can't do anything right. Christ.

That means the square foot of fuck all. We've seen how bad Arsenals defence is home and away, in Europe and domestically.

You're defence is a shambles. None of the big teams in the Premier League lose their shape as badly as Arsenal. It's like they're not even being coached.

Their team is quite decent on paper. Even without Bale.
