The Arsenal Thread XXIV

Sorry but that 4-0 defeat at Southampton has pretty much every team thinking they can blow arsenal out of sight on their own turf. All they need is a Shane Long type of striker that gets behind the defence

You're talking like Soton were not very lucky in that game. 1st goal offside in the build up (plus a once in a lifetime strike), 2nd goal Long clearly fouled Koscielny, 3rd goal not a corner.

But that's not the point. We were talking about Ramsey and I fail to see how that was his fault. May I remind you we have suffered much larger and embarrassing defeats with Cazorla in CM (5-1 at anfield and 6-0 at the bridge, in which Cazorla was pathetic).

It is Ramsey's fault to an extent, after going 1-0 down Wanyama and Clasie played him off the park. We haven't won a Premier League game from a losing position at half time for over four years.
(so basically, all that the opposition need to do is to be ahead at HT)

Again, an irrelevant stat which I'm failing to understand in your argument. What's the point of it? What does it have to do with Ramsey? There are 10 other players in the team. In our last game Ramsey came on and immediately changed the game by scoring a goal to put us ahead. I think that is more relevant.

Soton played better than us on the day too, we lost the battle in midfield but our attack was also anonymous and we made a lot of mistakes in defence. All the players take equal blame for that defeat.

You're off your nut. Cazorla was ****ting himself in midfield most of 2015, only really good performances was at the Etihad and against United (when every Arsenal player played an 8/10 that day). No surprise Ramsey comes back in CM and we start winning games left right and centre.

We got the most points in the league in 2015, so whats this nonsense about not winning matches with Santi in CM

Sorry, I should have been a little more frank, although I never said anything about not picking points up in 2015, his performances in the centre were hardly something to admire. I said he **** himself, essentially if it were not for Coquelin covering his arse we would have lost a lot more games. We went through a very bad spell in which we only won 1/5 games in November, through which Cazorla's performances in CM were appalling.

Caulker let in 6 against the club he just signed for. Plus he played in relegation teams during the two previous seasons

He used to be a high potential on Fifa. But then the Spurs genetics got him.

Doesn't that just mean he'll score against Arsenal?

Monreal, Koscielny and Smalling against Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar is straight up rape. Arsenal fans are ridiculous for even voting Monreal and Bellerin in when neither are the best Right or Left back in London.
