Arsene Wenger has had a few key decisions to make over the last few days, but most of them are about how to ensure that Arsenal are stronger defensively than we have been of late. The attacking and creating side of the game has been pretty much okay, but we need to have that solid platform o build on to make sure that we beat Anderlecht tonight.
A win is a must if the Gunners are to keep the hopes of winning the group over Borussia Dortmund alive. So as expected the Frenchman has kept our most combative midfielder Mathieu Flamini in the starting line up. And having Aaron Ramsey back in the middle with the in form Jack Wilshere should also help to protect that back four.
The other big decision Wenger has made is to keep Monreal in the centre and use Chambers to replace Bellerin at right back. He has also resisted the pressure to play Lukas Podolski, with Santi Cazorla likely to start on the left. At least the German striker has made the bench this time.
Martinez
Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs
Flamini
Alexis, Ramsey, Wilshere, Cazorla
Welbeck
subs: Huddart, Bellerin,Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Rosicky, Campbell, Podolski
We need a fast start and to make sure that it is the Anderlecht defence, not Arsenal’s, that is put under serious pressure. Come On You Gunners!!!!
subs
Wenger, you need and deserve a vacation.
Please vacate the manager spot.
Arsenal needs a massive clear out . If arsene is not ready to do it , I think he needs to leave the stage for someone else to do it.
I have never been part of the wenger out brigade but right now, I have about had it.
New owners will do just as good.
Wonder why the ball is zipping around faster? He substituted a certain player .
We scored 1 min after this comment
NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WENGER NEEDS TO FCUKING GO!!!! THIS GAME SHOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED AT HALF TIME!!!!!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WENGER, thanks for all….. now GTFO and take all the AKB with you…..
Our two CB were split again 🙁
Well isn’t that lovely. Finally a goal and guess who ?
F#ck off Wenger
We deserved this.
Wenger you are crap
We deserve better. We don’t deserve to endure Wengers failure.
We all watch the games and after each mistake we all think, wenger will learn, but he won’t, why does he have to be so stubborn if he played Campbell and he fails it’s not his fault, if coz/Ozil play no 10 and fail it’s not his fault, but his reputation is gone, I really hope Monaco want him , I don’t enjoy watching us anymore , it’s not only about winning its about the way we play the game
Oh and they score, who will wenger blame now ????,
Prediction he won’t come out or will say the usual tripe , we showed commitment and focus, oh and it’s the refs fault
We sack.. What the fck was that?
Well deserved !! We suck!! We dont deserve to take even a point from this. Kudos to Anderlecht.
ONCE AGAIN MERTS FAULT!!!!
Monreal …..aaaarghhh …he should never have let that cross in
and Flamini is a fool too
Same old shti! Crap defence and for some reason we just get pushed off the ball! Just so poor
All the AKB come and defend this performance !
Two thumbs down we must have some fans for other clubs on here.
3
and wilshere loses the ball again and again…..
Clueless defending.
These people are paid millions.
Hahaahaaaa, some professionals they are!
Shameful tactics by Wenger. Can’t say more than that.
thats it for me..until wenger leaves this once serious club we are not worth watching…he is an insult to fans who have been supporting this club for decades.. JUST GO
To little to late. Thanks
Why didn’t we bring in Chamberlain around the 60th minute mark?
Hahahahaha..75 min and subs..classic wenger .. Hahahahaha.
Wenger should use some of his 8m to refund the Gooners who have travelled to Belgium to watch this sh#t performance.
Evening mate I did say hello on the last page 🙂
Sorry mate missed it,evening to you this is dire and embarrassing
lmao our defending is utter garbage.
1 – Mert needs to go. he’s only good in the air… runs like a snail
2 – Wilshere needs to go see a shrink and simply revamp his entire game
3 – we need a commanding, physical DM
4 – we need a commanding, physical DM
5 – points 3 and 4
Late substitution after conceded a goal, pathethic
Happy birthday wenger? Isnt it your time to retire already?
WHOEVER IS THUMBING DOWN COMMENTS ABOUT WENGER BEING SACKED- GO KILL YOURSELF!!
HE NEEDS TO BE SACKED END OF DISCUSSION
Too bloody right, but the AKB’s run the club you know! They love putting up with this shite,
These are the sanctimonious people who are actually pussies, to be frank.
Basic semi pro football, both your centre half get caught in front of the near post, it’s so bad we deserve nothing
And we take a centre forward off when we 1-0 down
WHY!
man city and bayern interested in ozil and monaco want wenger. thats a double get out of jail free card. time for change at AFC and that would be a good start.
I really feel sorry for our supporters that have travelled to the game. Their money is worth more than this.
so true. the fans fill the stadium and follow the team all over europe but some fools still consider us glory hunters for wanting success.
Where is Rosicky?
We are sh*t
All I can say is FFS
We are a joke at the back and one man is to blame
Hahahaha..we are insluting the name of EPL abroad.
Liverpool will roger that
Shameful..i wont shed a single smile on this..we deserved to lose and we should have..fu#k you gibbs..
WOW, PATHETIC…………… i am speachless
speechlees
Go on Campbell show the boss he is deluded.
Wow we are so lucky.
See that! Ball comes off of the crossbar and mert just watched it go to the other player instead of trying to clear it…..useless the lot of them! Including our two bob manager!
Few observations so far:
– Flamini doesn’t offer a whole lot of protection for the back 4, nor does he even really break up play much. Mostly see him chasing back after their midfield has got in behind us.
– Monreal isn’t a centre back, feel a bit sorry for him playing there, he can’t do it.
– Mertesacker isn’t as good as his supporters think he is. It’s becoming clearer every game that it is Koscielny who makes our back 4 look half decent, and Koscielny who covers Mertesacker’s weaknesses.
– Wenger is very reactive with his substitutions. Waits until we have a problem or the damage is already done before he even thinks of making changes.
Poor old sanchez must think iv left barca for this lot!
No bad we got more possession.
Mert is MORTE-must be released.It is so obvious that he is useless-put him on transfer market and nobody will buy him.Where is our Italian goalie?Eisfeld?And several others?Money is spent and than you never see the guys?Bould looks completely withdrawn from the game.Just mess.Should of gotten Di Matteo or Mancini.
The italian goalie was only on loan and eisfield got sold to fulham
who thumbed you down? you speak the truth about Mert.
Wenger = C U Next Tuesday
🙂
At f-cking last
This could easily be 3-0
Luckily we are not playing with big team.
And the search for the perfect beautiful goal continues.
Hahaha @ Wenger not buying a defender
And being smug about it
I said it they have scored Wenger y change welback n not whilshare.
They think it’s all over it’s know for Wenger.
You obviously don’t know our board members, they don’t sack Wenger when he loses, they give him a raise.
I have to be honest I never thought it would be this bad
My friend we are in a pit so deep
Its not bad its worst brother………WENGER GET OUT N LOST
Very sad to see that after going 1-0 down, we haven’t woken up at all, in fact it is Anderlect who look more likely to score next…
#FACK AW#FACK AW#FACK AW#FACK AW & o yea #FACK AW & who ever thumb me down #FACK u to! Mothe Cu*t
MOTHER CONT!!
Its like we are leading the game lol.
WEnger has killed arsenal Fc
goldfish… all your posts are about your hate for AW… correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that you do not like him too much?
Not a bit he has a loosing mentality and its costing Arsenal FC
how fuc**ng sad is this.. Hull then Anderlecht. What happened to one of the biggest clubs in the world? We are now all worried and tense no matter who we play. how sad
Why the hell is wilshere still on the pitch
Fa cup final win has only papered over some very large cracks which are reappearing
8 mil pound per year for this old useless manager… it’s really embarrassing
gibbs save the wenger ass
thankyou for Gibbbs!!!
Gibbs!
YOU LUCKY FCUKER WENGER!!!! I STILL WANT YOU OUT YOU CNUT
Get to fack out wenger good win boyz #FACK AW
Well done the ox! Good goal
Of course Wenger was unlucky with all these injuries, and of course the players have some responsibility but it is my view that wenger not buying Fabregas and thus offering him to Chelsea is was a criminal act and Wenger will regret it in the end of the season. Actually it is as bad as when he sold RVP to Manu. Finally I would say that Wenger insisting that Wilshere is world class player because maybe seeing something in him (during training session) is honestly being ridiculous and making a joke of him self. The bad news is Wenger is not going to go and in fact the board has decided to sack the fans instead…
lmao kieran well done
and chambers nice cross buddy
useless manager, he should have left years ago(2005) with honor…
BANG!!!!!!!!!
PODOLOSKI!!!!!!
PODOLSKI
Gibbs !
I love Podolski.
lucky french b*astard
Hahahaha…..keep the faith losers
Against a better team we would have been down and out.
go to suck wenger´s balls kido
@medvet…no thanks, not my thing
duhhhh……but who the f@ck cares? 2-1 away win!
HOW LUCKY WE ARE!!!!!
Well done gibbs and Podolski this doesn’t change anything.
How the f did we get out of that, Wengers ass has been saved
He scores when he wants ! Poldi well done son
Wenger might listen to the supporters know.
LMAO WHAT
Wenger is so f*ing lucky
play Podolski, Campbell, and the Ox and there you go.
Wilshere off and Arsenal winning
#YeahIsaidit
The one that wenger got no faith of him, save his face.
Ohhhh fu#kkkk.. Wenger wins this game..fu#kkkk… I want that c#nt out…
Btw Khedira came on as a sub for Real.
the moment Wilshire left the pitch the team scored, please take a note the nutty professor so called manager
Who do you think don’t deserve to be paid their wages today?
We’ll give it to Sanchez.
We shouldn’t have won that, but I’ll take it
The players saved Wengers behind
The players were total shite (apart from Sanchez at times) until last two mins. I thought Cazorla much worse than Wilshire, Monreal, Flamini…really really crap
Did you see Sanchez when he left the field not happy !
you know why?, stubborn manager and pathetic perfonmance and tactics
That’s a get out of jail result ! I’m off for a lie down well played Gibbs And poldi
Lucky old Arsenal and fkg Wenger, that keep the AKBs happy
Wenger: we show the spirit and determination to win the game.
Lol your spot on
hahahahahhahahah, wheere are the sniper when are needed???
GTFO wenger
Except we didn’t, in fact, we were pathetic. The second we put Podolski, Campbell, Ox on all I wanted was for Ox, Sanchez and Campbell to make some direct runs towards the penalty area and it to somehow land at Podolski’s feet so that he could shoot.
and of course I agree
Hahahahaha this is actually sad. I’m happy but there is no way anyone could condone that Wenger did the right thing with sub’s and we all of a sudden score twice.
Again I’m thinking maybe wenger Will realise and play Campbell and Podolski with Ox in the next game, thumbs up yes thumbs down no
Can’t understand why he doesn’t start Ox
Brace yourself for Wenger’s praise of team’s character and determination. When will this old crook get humiliated agian..waiting for it.
Whilshare changed n arsenal wins….Wenger leaves and Arsenal will Become great again
So basically players that Wenger ignores made a difference for him when they come on as sub’s and his favorite’s let him down.
I swear if Wenger uses the terms ‘togetherness’ or ‘united’ or ‘spirit’ then he deserves a wedgy
He said spirit. Give him a wedgy Sky Sports
Wenger is Arsenal’s problem..1)poor team selection….2) poor tactics…3)Poor transfer policies…..4)poor player management…..Wenger ooohh Wenger I wish and pray for u to leave our beloved Arsenal Fc
