I agree we needed RVP today, but the reallity is that we are going to be without him for a Very long time. Who we have in place of him HAVE to raise their game. From our earlier matches, we had scored from good and well worked set pieces, from shooting outside of the 18yd box etc.. We seem to regress into the “old” Arsenal and rely too much on our passing ability and our ability to keep hold of the possession. We are going to have to try and relight the burning passion we had and get it into the players heads. We play great when confidence is high, but it shows when it isn’t. Nether the less, I’m a Gooner through thick and thin. I just want to see them players play with the heads as much as much as the hearts!

Win, Lose or Draw.. Gooner Til I Die!!!

We have to accept that we got beaten by a better team with the right tactics. it also didnt help missing our top striker. all in all wenger has lessons to learn ..he has built this team and there are obviuos dificiencies with this team when it comes to playing certain teams…wenger has to find the right personnnel especially for such a long season.

i hope wenger is listening to me…put your money where it belongs…take a gamble on carlton cole…he is the only striker in the league who can make a difference in our team

the players have to learn to play the game with grit and with simplicity …there are a lot of teams that we can pass off the park but when it comes to other teams the players have to take collective and individual responsibility to vary the game…i saw countless times when theo could have played a pass quick and simple…and vela on the attack could have been direct…its time to take a look at jay simpson…the no frils and direct approach is critical in games such today’s..

We certainly got a lesson in football upfront today. Did we actually have a shot, Eduardo couldn’t even do the basics right, no control, run timings were off. Theo couldn’t dribble past a traffic cone. Arshavin just annoys me with his sulky attidude. We need improve and quickly as the Sp*rs have now gone above us in the league….and that my fellow Gooners is unacceptable.

Yeah Pete…can’t blame Edu and Vela…they did try but weren’t gud enuff on the day unfortunately. No RvP really did affect us as well.

The difference was Chelsea has their main striker available and we didn’t. Otherwise we pretty much had the better of them. Drogba was the only Chelsea goal scorer, and you can bet your bottom dollar that RvP would have scored today as he’s our most reliable player in the final 3rd. He’s the one player we have who can break a deadlock. It could also be said that had Drogba not been fit, Chelsea wouldn’t have scored today.

Song had to be taken off as we needed another attacking player. Theres no point in having defensive player when you’re chasing a 2-0 deficit.

I’m not going to come down on Eduardo or Vela because thats just looking for excuses. Chelsea were just able to field all their best players, we weren’t, and in games like this you can’t afford to be without your best.

Still, fair play to them.

Wenger is a slow learner. He had a rush of blood in changing Song and Arshavin should reinvent himself pls.

I know! *Sigh*. I think when next we play Chelsea, someone should lock Drogba in a room and only release him when the game’s over! I think he was the main difference (and Ashley Cole a little bit) between the 2 teams, and I do think Chelsea will struggle when he’s away, and who knows, maybe he’ll pick up a handy injury! Lol

Really disappointing but we need to continue to learn, stick together and grow. I’m not gonna panic but give Jack his jacket… Chelsea were more efficient than we were and, like Man U tend to do, got the job done no matter how good/badly they play.

We certainly looked better in the 1st 40 mins but all they need is a chance or 2 and they get a goal…efficiency. We ran into a brick wall 2day. I felt our CB pairing did a decent job, Sagna was good, Traore is a very good 3rd choice LB…granted his obvious lack of a right foot is horribly noticeable! Cesc was good too. I’m inpressed how much Cesc has come along in terms of dealing with the physical aspect of the game. We had ideas but Chelsea were solid and played as a strong unit defensively. The 1st goal was crucial and we didn’t get it, then the OG was unfortunate. I wasn’t in the slightest angry with Verm.

The GK thing…i really don’t know anymore. I think we needed Given and we missed him. I think Almunia is good but he does look suspect at times…like goal number 3. Bet your bottom dollar Given/Cech/Van der Sar would have saved it. In fairness to him, I couldn’t see him preventing either of the 1st 2 goals tho.

I really liked how Rosicky was stuck into Mikel! I enjoy seeing us get stuck in but we did try just ran out of gas. Nasri was very physical so he tried his best too. Theo’s season hasn’t started properly so I didn’t expect a miracle from him…he needs games in my opinion…as does Vela but I felt Chelsea’s defence was just too good for him and Eduardo 2day.

I love how Man City can’t win games so mid-week shud b interesting. Big Clubs respond to disappointment, not dwell in it! Gooner 4 life!
