Closed Arsenal 1-0 Chelsea

We`re going to get relegated with this clueless clown mourinho in charge

Hmm...

[Special Juan 28,133]

Some goal though, bloke I was sat with said TC should of had it.

[Henrique 9,133]

Not the result, but some things are worrying:

1- You just can't accept that in his 3rd season Mourinho doesn't have a proper left back. More worrying: we are starting the season with no left back at all. Azi is not a left back, he was used there as a quick fix to Ashley Cole bad performances. If Mourinho thought Luis was not good enough, then a new LB was a priority. You don't left priority signings for the end of the window. Azi performance today was so poor, Mourinho needed to use Zouma in that position.

2- You have a team with Fabregas, Hazard and Oscar, but for some reason the players are using long throw ins like Stoke City.

3- Again Ivanovic as an undisputed RB. Not sure how many of his crosses could not even pass the first defender. He offers 0 when the team is attacking. Full backs are usually under-looked, but easily one of the most important roles of the game. This team is far from superb in that aspect.

About the game today:

.Bad performance from Hazard. Disappeared for the whole game, and missed what was supposed to be an easy goal.

.Oscar was easily the best player. Created chances and really improved the team in the final third.
.Too early to judge Falcao, but looked exactly that same United player who spend most of his playing time committing attacking fouls. Nothing wrong with his ball control as some people were saying.

Weeks ago I said Arsenal were my favorites to win the PL this season. They were the best team for 2nd leg of season, scored mored points than any other team and made some important moves in the market. Our squad lacks depth and playing style became really predictable. Its not a good sign when Zouma and Moses is your answer when things are not really well.

Willian's performance today showed exactly what's wrong with him. He is just not good enough, when he plays decent he still can't carry the team like Hazard, Oscar, Mata(used to do) Willian will never be good enough for Madrid, Bayern, Barca. His a jack of no trades he has never had 10 assists or goals in a season in his career even when playing in a shitty leave like Ukraine. If you want to see how not good enough he is you you just had to watch Brazil this last summer

Wow, Ramires gets way too much hate.

[The Mak 4,459]

I agree 100%

I'm not directing this at you specifically - I don't blame you, it's contagious these days at TC. It's just that the main perpetrators are on my ignore list so I couldn't direct it anywhere else!

Wenger still hasn't beaten Jose in the league, league cup or fa cup. Sounds just as sweet tbh

No offence taken mate, like you say it's the way around here lately.

[Special Juan 28,133]

Looking forward to seeing our reaction to this, should be interesting.

[Barbara 15,149]

But they already have a really good team, mate.

and we don't? they're better than us?

Yeah, the table from last season supports this idea.

[CurlyHairLikeLuiz 1,625]

I was at the game so positives at least... We thoroughly outsang Arsenal even when they scored, and we were far more respectful of Petr than they were of Cescy, who they booed as their players repeatedly kicked him to the ground.

And well... That's it. Both teams were bang average and Hazard couldn't bail us out this time either.

Cesc was hesitant.

Oscar MOTM. He looked the best player on the pitch imo.

and we don't? they're better than us?

Yeah, the table from last season supports this idea.

I don't know if they are better than us. But their squad is pretty good.

[The Mak 4,459]

Quick, someone do an Arsenal selfie count!

[Barbara 15,149]

I don't know if they are better than us. But their squad is pretty good.

but you keep hinting ours isn't... that's why I asked.

[zolayes 14,489]

What worries me is that Arsenal are continuing their great form they grabbed from the start of 2015. They haven't stopped.

And we are doing the same, continuing on that run.

Last season means nuff all now. It's like an Arsenal fan saying, "look at 03/04 that team will beat your team!" They didn't have Cech last season. They didn't have Coquelin and Walcott at the beginning of the season. Not saying our team is so bad that we won't get 4th place, but retaining the PL will be 10x harder now. Expect Arsenal, City and maybe United to breath through our necks.

agree I would have liked to seen us strengthen and I dont really think we have
