I've seen enough of the Santi-Giroud-Theo-Jack attacking group. Time to try something else.
Also, we should probably start our best CB. The shitty part of TV5 being named captain is that Wenger feels obligated to play him.
Jenkinson sub was really odd. He was playing well in the second half, though Ramsey did solidly at RB he didn't offer the width and pace. Ramsey was playing well in MF, I thought. He and Arteta were playing well. Jack was poor. As were Santi, Giroud, and Theo, even though it seemed like Theo made some really good runs that weren't picked out.

Jenkinson was playing well, so his sub made no sense. Ramsey should have been taken out instead. Taking out Jenkinson really put a crutch in our subs after that.
Poldi looked poor.
Giroud looked poor.
Ramsey looked really poor. (sorry OBU, I disagree with your sentiment here)
The defense had serious lapses that really cost us, especially Verm.
Per was solid, as was Arteta. Jack played decent for 70 minutes and then looked gassed.
Our attack is impotent. Our crosses from the side yield nothing because Giroud or Walcott (lol) is going 1v2 or 1v3 against the defense trying to win headers or low driving crosses in the box.
No one shoots. We seem unable to play through the middle. Our go-to attacking play seems to be scramble around in the middle until it gets clogged, then pass it out wide and hope for something to come from a cross. Clearly it's not working.
I would love to see what a combination of Giroud and Walcott up top could do for us. I think a switch to a 4-4-2 is in order, because we simply aren't getting it done otherwise.
I used to have faith in Wenger but now I just doubt his tactical acumen.

Disagree here, Kos might be AS good as the other two but in no way is he better than.
