Good performance by Ospina, but I'm not sold on the "world class" accolades.

Of course, we hung him out to dry like the usmnt did Tim Howard in 2014.

Why did we have such a hard time getting back and keeping our shape? Are Kos and Mustafi going too far forward on offense?

And yes, Ox is a just-okay player capable of occasional flashes of brilliance. At this stage of the game, I think that's all he will ever be.

we've been a lot better since alexis took ox's spot and giroud went up top.



That's because, and I'll go slowly here since this is ground-fricking-breaking insight...

Giroud is better at CF than Alexis.

AND, and....

Alexis is better on the wing than Ox.

I think Stewie was stating that ironically.

It was more a jab at Wenger and his lineup choices.

Amirite, Stu?

Watching the game again and I just want to reiterate how terrible we are in both offensive and defensive positioning. I don't even see the point in playing attacking football as we do if we aren't going to give the players a framework to thrive. It's like we play decide to play a pick up game each god damn game. The absence of positioning is particularly noticeable these past two years. I wonder what the hell is going on.

Time for Arsene to hit the old dusty trail.

This article, Arsenal have an Arsene Wenger problem, talks about our bad positioning and how it hurts us.

Hopefully Walcott can go today. Wouldn't mind seeing a Lucas, Walcott, Alexis trio up front.

Wenger has done it again! Alexis up top and no Xhaka.

Is Xhaka already in Arsene's dog house over something? We get our world-class MF and don't play him.

Serge Gnabry goal. To think, we sold this dude for 5 mil. Should have sent Ox out on loan and kept this kid

Johannsson with the assist.

Does anyone care at all about tomorrow? Play the kids and see what happens. Don't really care if we are ousted.
