The pain of 3-2 is still very much here. I pretty pissed off. The team let us, AW down in a very bad way. When I was chatting with a friend, I told him the lineup was very defensive. Within the first 20 minutes, I could see we had a problem – we still hadn’t got our passing moves flowing. Half time came, still goalless. AW should have chosen to inject more creativity at the start of the second half, since we were struggling to have possession. The first goal went in. I was damned angry about the way Sagna got turned inside out for it. The second goal was HORRIBLE. Almunia somehow managed to redirect the ball into his own net. Wenger then inexplicably decides to take off Koscielny. Why didn’t he take of Song? Song was awful in the match, giving the ball away needlessly. Diaby was matching him in this area too, giving the ball away countless number of times. Then the third goal came. I was horrified. 3-0 down at home against WBA!
However, inside I was secretly nurturing hopes of a comeback. Nasri, the only man who looked like he cared managed to notch two goals, but his heroics would go in vain as no other teammates put in decent a effort enough to assist him or grab a goal themselves. The only decent performances were from Nasri, Rosicky, Chamakh. The rest can drown themselves in a sea of shame.
Still, nothing is over. Beat Partizan on Tuesday, smash Chelsea at the Bridge next week and everything shall be forgotten. However, another half-hearted performance like this will only incite the Emirates faithful to unleash their wrath on the players and the manager.
C’mon Arsenal!
