Aye, he'd be a class impact sub for us

Are you doing a Spudil, mate?

33 off 7 players, only Suarez left.

Cabaye must have blazed over a few shots throughout the match in non-pressured situations. Hatem's a popular scapegoat though.

Awful. Arsenal played him very well. Don't want to see our players acting like theirs, but it would've helped (eg. Gouff going down off-the-ball after a two-handed shove by Sagna following a tackle). Probert was fucking awful though. Just awful. The foul on Anita before the goal and the foul on Sissoko first half. Clear as fucking day.

Only one way to settle this. SCREENGRABS

I do agree in a way - but I think a lot of what clouds his judgement on the pitch is down to how he introduced into a time-pressured situation. I'm not exonerating him or giving him a free pass btw, just explaining why I think he plays as he does when we're chasing / need a goal in a very limited time frame.

Tough to take, because it was a good performance. Arsenal used all their "experience" to good effect, which is the way the game is these days. We didn't do much wrong, restricted their chances really well whilst occupying some great positions in their half. The goal was a shoddy one to give away, Williamson caught the wrong side of Giroud. Lacked a real goalthreat ourselves though, and when we finally did get two strikers on - Shola had the requisite aggression but no ability to back it up, whilst Remy had all the ability but not the aggression to get on the end of anything. Tiote was a beast. Sissoko faded a bit. Cabaye was a bit disappointing for me, but not awful - just a little overly-ambitious at times. HBA had his heart in the right place (which is a weird thing to say for a footballing cameo ) and you could see it was desperate to get us a goal, but his zeal probably got the better of him on or two occasions, when a calmer head may have yielded better results. Thought he was right to take on the shot at the end, as only Shola was in there (and well marked), but just took it too quickly. Disappointed with the outcome, but a performance the team can be proud of - hopefully it didn't take too much out of then.

If Remy hadn't slowed down, that'd be in.

Sickener

Classless from Cazorla

Sissoko to the left (much as it pains me to see him there) please.

Would take off Cabaye for HBA soon.

Would keep it the same second half. Wenger's in-game changes might fuck us up, but if they come out the same I think we should do too. Good balance of attack/defence. HBA last 30 maybe.

Great save from Szezcney. Sissoko thunderbolt! Great from Debuchy too.

Unbelievable decision

Injured fouling Tiote haha

Williamson

Let's all just hope Obertan comes on and scores a couple at the end `

Unlike Spurs, Chelsea and Man Utd - I think Arsenal will have too much attacking guile for any stifling tactics to work. If that's our plan A, can see a similar game to the Everton first half or the Liverpool home game last season on the cards.

Yellow card and suspended next game

Horrible advert for the game.
