Dont get me wrong on this but don't you think that our performances have not been the same since the fabulous CESC has been dropped in favour of our inspirational skipper Vierra? I love Viera to bits but it seems that we were playing better without him, I know he is still a bit rusty but surely we gotta use him more at least as a sub so as to give time for Viera to come back to his normal self?

ARSENAL TIMES REPLY
I can see your point, but it wasn't just about Vieira yesterday. In fact he made the first goal. The team is carrying hangover of international week and they will get it out of their system this week with a full weeks proper training. Meanwhile the only way Paddy can get truly match fit is by playing-its catch 22.

COMMENT2)I cannot understand why Wenger persists with that bald headed freak CYGAN, he is totally useless a total liability everything he gets the ball I swear I feel that we are gonna concede a goal surely Keown would have been a more reliable and comfortable player with the ball regardless of his age, I cannot usually find any fault with the messiah(Wenger) but I think Pat needs to hav a word with the Guvnor

It would be easy to just blame Cygan. On the first goal no Arsenal player was anywhere near the scorer.We should defend enmasse at corners. On the second Kolo missed it first, Cygan failed to clear up, and Jens was missing for the final trickle. So it was pretty much a team effort.
We need Campbell back because he will organise the defense, nobody is doing that at present and it shows.
