Arsenal v Sunderlan (FA Cup)

here we go again...

of course they'd score. sigh.

To be fair TV puts Djourou into trouble! Then, the freekick is well defended but nobody gets to the second ball! That's always the problem with freekicks like that. Sagna is too slow to get to that second ball.

commentator "they've played ok".

No we haven't. We've passed the ball around a lot, and defended appallingly.

Just how long did it take Sagna to run to close down Richardson?

WTF with this team, getting beaten day in day out, AW had a transfer window to make things right, bring new players, sell the rotten wood, instead for our most important match (where we have a real opportunity to get a trophee) we have Squilacci and Djourou in central defence, one goal down, and a prick doing tricks like Ramsey, the more i see the game, the more i feel like losing my time...

I STOPPED READING HERE

Horrible defending, horrible attacking.

Rubbish performance. Two passes in behind aside, we have been as creative as Djourou-Squillaci have been reassuring. Who is really surprised, though?

Need a huge 2nd half now, come on Arsenal.

It's not Ramsey's fault that he keeps getting picked.

We knew that he would give the ball away because he's in horrible form at the moment. But the boss had other ideas.

Plenty of possession, but we are doing very little with it except for getting into trouble. Lacking pretty much everything

Well, we can always bring on Thierry...

What a load of dros. Our team is full of sideways songs and Titus Brambles back in his Newcastle days. I still don't quite understand how our centre backs struggle to deal with simple hoofed balls over the top. The moment Djourou and Squillaci were paired together at the back our slim hopes of winning this game were all but made impossible.

We don't have the quality or hunger/desire.

Typical of our team this season...

Squillaci never fails to disappoint.

Come on Arsenal !!!

Oh no, not again...

Why the fuck is no one spreading it wide to Gervinho who's been in acres of space all night?

Theo and Rosicky going to come on. We need a shape change not just a personnel one

4-4-2, Gerv and RVP up top?

Poor Squillaci - LOL

I was thinking the same thing when Chamberlain was surrounded by three players on the left. We're not passing it quickly enough to make use of the full width of the pitch.

Good to see Rosicky on.

All of our back four bar Song has been booked. Can't help but feel we are going out tonight.

I think it is Walcott and RVP playing strikers in a 4-4-2

Cracking game. Both teams going for it.

I think we will be seeing quite a few Rosicky slide tackles...
