Y'all think Ox gets another start tomorrow after his game Saturday? I'd like to see him out there.
Hopefully we don't get anymore injuries and Gab-Kos partnership works well.

Maybe rest Ox for Everton with City in mind. Could get Perez, Giroud, Iwobi, and Gibbs some time. The problem is making sure we don't change up too much to the point where we lose our momentum. We will see what Arsene does.

Just do what we usually do and that is to score atleast one more goal than Everton today. Arsene has a pretty damn good record against them.

Please start Xhaka, he should be an auto pick.

Reports that Koscienly, Giroud, and Coquelin all in line for contract renewals.

Saw one report that said Giroud gets a 1 year extension and Coq is signed until 2021. That's great news

I really love Coquelin. He has worked hard and improved every year. He also brings a competitiveness and passion to the squad. If he ever scores I'm afraid he will spontaneous combust from pure excitement.

Me too. And whats even better is he's committed to Arsenal. He's an academy player that's said he wants to retire here. Those are the kind of guys that I love, not the money chasers like we've had in the past.

And it would be totally amazing to see him score today, provided he doesn't die from ruptured blood vessels while celebrating

Needed Santi today. We lacked the ability to start any kind of counter.

We looked tired all game. Ox was shameful with his lack of movement. His man scored the equalizer. He looked gassed all game.

This game begged for rotation. But Wenger remains stubborn.

All that said, Ozil buries his chance and it's a different game

Is this a match I should try and catch a replay? I forgot to record it, so I'd have to go out of my way and find a stream. Just seems disappointing to lose to a lackluster and banged up Everton squad with first up for grabs.

I wouldn't rewatch it. It wasn't a terrible game, but it wasn't us anywhere near our best.

Forwards were a little lackluster today, really would've liked for Iwobi/Giroud/Perez to start today instead of Ox/Theo for squad rotation.

I would just watch the last sequence and marvel at how we managed not to score.

Tough loss. Worst I've seen us play in awhile. Very lackluster really.

Reminded me of too many losses the last 2-3 seasons where we'd start strong and then shite the bed.

I did always have the feeling though, we could pull an equalizer out of our arse and we nearly did. Many matches in the past, we could have played all night and I knew we wouldn't score.

The game was good. Crowd was rocking. Ozil scores and puts it to rest. Def could have used some rotation. Everton played well though.

Guess I'm not as mad as usual because we still had chances and they could have scored at the end but players hustled back. I like to see that fight in this team.

Not trying to be pessimistic, but I'll be happy to get out of here with a point, then run the table against all the weakies we have coming up between now and February.

Well the league is gone...again. I was Arsene out before the season started. I decided to back the team and give Arsene one last chance. Well the same problems still exist from previous seasons. Its time to take our medicine and let him go and get someone with fresh ideas into club. If Arsene leaving means that Ozil and Alexis leave to then so be it. There's no point of keeping them if Wenger is still in charge. And sure some of the blame goes on the players, but many players have come and gone in the last decade and the results still stay very much the same. I am tired of the same thing happening every year. We need to rebuild and keeping Wenger is only delaying that.
