We've got to get another forward. How can Wenger watch this and think Giroud can be the number one for an elite team? Ramsey deserves better

Giroud and Santi continue to look bad. They're dragging down our attack in a major way right now. I say run Alexis through the center, bring on Ox and Rosicky.

Would it be out of line for me to say that Michael Bradley would be perfect for this team? We need someone who can sit in front of the defense and provide staunch defensive support all game and who can recycle possession. His long balls are awesome, and he has the ability to get forward in attack if we need a late goal. I know it's a pipe dream, but I really think he would succeed at Arsenal and provide a lot for this team. I think he would be a better version of Arteta, and essentially a long term replacement.

i've said it for years now, but arteta has been criminally underrated. he was key to our win saturday with his smart positioning and ability to recycle possession. posted this before and i'll post it again: arteta has been damn great and so far this season, he has played similarly well. Bradley is 27. don't think he'd better better in the role arteta plays for us right now and is not exactly a long term replacement. not sure who we'll pick up, or if we see chambers in that role, but yeah, bradley isn't happening.

this 4-3-3 just isn't working. haven't really sorted out who aids in attack leaving sanchez with little options on his runs.

Don't like that Sanchez is coming out, he's been one of a few bright spots today

Not a yellow. Terrible officiating. frick this game. Tired of seeing us play like shite. Santi and Giroud especially are pissing me off.

I don't think it's a coincidence that Besiktas' Taken looking manager yelled at the ref and then arsenal proceeded to get 8 cards in 20 min. Probably threatened his family

Come on Ox, you gotta finish that

ETA: didn't realize the keeper got a touch, that was a great move by Ox. Wish we would have taken Santi off earlier instead of Alexis

at this point we should start ox on saturday (especially if arteta is out) and seriously consider sitting santi

Why do we leave Santi on for the whole damn game when he was playing like hot garbage?

The referee also played like hot garbage.

Giroud is not good enough. I would give his performance today a 1/10, and that might be generous.

Sign a striker and only play santi as cover for ozil in the middle. He absolutely should not be playing on the wing when we have options like Chamberlain, Sanchez, Theo, and Podolski.

First CL qualifier we haven't won under Wenger. He needs to make adjustments to this starting 11, it looks great on paper but it just doesn't work

These are typical performances, but I'm not upset. Looked like a rough field and both teams went at it.
