John says:

We were punished because we have too many fool like you who make us feel dread once you appear on the Field. forget about learning from past mistakes, its the practice sessions that plan these series of mess up that convince me that a complete clear-out is necessary. Bringing in 2/3rd rated players to save a little is bad business.
Imagine we score 5 goals and lose 4:3
Squillaci, Koch, Djourou, Almunia. Incredible all on the payroll and not one side even a second division would take them off our hands
And under whose watch did these join Arsenal

Bendtnersdad says:

Djourou and Wenger both talk utter s**te. We may have missed a few chances but we still scored 3 for Gods sake. We lost because our defenders are strangers to each other and play like it. The ones that know each other play like strangers. It’s because they are not coached to defend. Wenger and JD are putting up a smokescreen to deflect from the real reason we’re in trouble and that is because our manager seemingly refuses to bring in a dedicated defensive coach.

dick gunner says:

this report just sums up djorou and the rest of the defense they are crap and look to blame others rather than themselves.

steve says:

Djourou ’s among the players that re not fit to be in Arsenal i was disappionted by his comments after the Man U defeat just look at his pathetic cross no much contribution and i think its better for him to be silent

Salvage says:

Why in the world do our players dont understand when to just shut up? What gives Djourou the right to make such statements? This is part of the reason we are where we are. They just dont get it. If they did, he definitely wouldnt be talking but hiding his head somewhere and thinking of how to improve.

sammymarvin says:

well i expected this to happen, you dont just expect miracles to happen overtime or over night, our problem started @ preseason, how i wished this five signing would have come in then, i belive we would be toping the league now.But i bet u my fellow arsenal fans dont worry i see us having our best season in about six years. First of all lets forgive ourselves for our mistakes:lets start supporting and stop tougue lashing the players,2nd lets pray for our injury woes to end. finally i told my arsenal fans in Nigeria that the best of the squad will come out after FIVE matches, this is because some players are now having there preseason imean the new signings and the squad is been adjusted to suite this new players and am finally happy the work rate of our players is getting high which is a positive,finally the defence is almost there lets forgive santos may he was still thinkin he was in the turkish league and matersacker who i belive would soon adapt well to the high pace of the EPL.finally lets support our arsenal and we will be champions.

So Arsenal did not convert the chances created.This has been happening for many years.The blame should be on Wenger squarely. Way back in Henery’s time they were beaten 2-1 by Blackburn Rovers.The gunners could have easily won 18-1.In recent itmes the 2-1 home loss to Hull city is another example.This has been going with monotonous regularity.Why is this so?
I believe it is thru over elaboration. I hope Wenger ,no disrespect,watched how goals were scored by Spurs/Mu and Sunderland last night.Once the opponents attack loses the ball or attack breaks down it is the speed of the passing not the pass and pass and pass.Then Nani and Defoe had less defenders to confront them.That is why they were able to score. I did see Arteta’s goal and hope it signals a change.Otherwsie the gunners will be left frustrated if chances are spurned.
Btw the gunners should get someone to run at defenders.This will really scare the latter. If it is just pass and pass ,it makes the defendrs’job that much easier.
Wenger hasn’t got many games to save himself. Bolton is a must win game. Another loss or draw,we will have to think Arsene could be finally on his way.

duke 0f arsenal says:

Same old story….when you lose out comes the comment, near misses, will do better in the next game….blah,blah…just do it don’t talk. actions speak louder. hope is all we have as fans….the rest is up to the team to do what is best for the name of ARSENAL..

s j little says:

The last oerson who should be telling us how Arsenal should have played is Mt Djourou
after all he must be one the worst centre backs ever to play for Arsenal.
His lack of professionalism is a disgrace even if Song,Arshaven and Diaby are not much better.
Their lack of decision making and coolness should never allow them to be in a top Club like Arsenal. Their clumsy “tackling” leads to dangerous free kicks and that in a team
that should be ashamed of their total lack of skill in defending set pieces.
The Manager and coaching staff should be embarrassed to say the least, and what does
Pat Rice do, why dos’nt he stand on the line and let them know he is watching them and
signaling that some better effort be put in. Likewise a proper Captain in a defensive
position could have a few choice words with some players during their panic stricken
displays.
So much is obvious to everyone bar Mr Wenger and yet he is too stubborn to listen, alas
like Arsenal he is becoming a laughting stock!

Charlie says:

I didn’t like Djourous’ attitude last season when he said he’d been satisfied with his contribution despite the teams’ dismal defensive record and i don’t like his attitude now distracting attention from the defense in a 4-3 defeat. He is a shirker, rather than identifying his weaknesses and concentrating on correcting them he is always looking for excuses and for other people to take the blame. We need players who will take responsibility when they’re at fault and when a player is in a team which concedes 3 goals in 45 minutes he needs to take responsibility. This may seem harsh but i don’t see him as a player who deserves any more chances and i think he should be replaced. Hopefully Djourou will be sold in January and Cahill will come in with Kos moved down to 4th choice CB and TV5 as an option an LB as well as competing with Cahill and Mertesacker for the CB places.

Osi says:

This sort of statement is what hate about Arsenal players; this guy was shit and contributed to 2 goals we conceded and instead of blaming himself he’s diverting the blame to other people. There was only about 3 chances but you did 2 mistakes that cost us the game; take a look at yourself before analysing other people’s game. He’s even blaming Kos to concede the own goal when his original mistake contributed to that attack. Plain stupidity. Arsene should just speak to him and others who like to criticise the others while their contribution and committment should be questioned. He should have come up and apologise to the fans.

Hillario says:

Cahill, Hazard, Mvilla, Martin and Benzema are required in this team they are a must I beg the Chief Executive, the manager, and all all the poweful fellows at Arsenal to ensure this. No need for Dejure, rosisky Ashavin and Dihaby, TV can be used as an option an LB as well as competing with Cahill and Mertesacker for the CB places.

Arsenal has never been in this position in the leaque before. Surely get this players or get a new manager
