Very poor first half performance, 2 nil down! Lack luster performance, & you can tell most are lacking game time as they look so off pace.

Cause you did enough of that last rd when we knocked you guys out :wink:

Embarrassing performance tbh! Some players looked like they didn't want to be out there, let alone help the young kids get thru their debuts..

Knew it wasn't going to be a good night when Ox went off after 5mins then his replacement Walcott limped off 10mins later

Bad performance but cant say im too upset about going out of the League Cup

The League should be our 100% priority

A little worried about the injuries we seem to be picking up lately - hopefully the Ox and Walcott arent too bad.
Guys like Debuchy, Gibbs & Campbell cant complain that they dont get any game time either.

Also, Pulis says that Gnabry isnt good enough to be playing for WBA. Bring him back from his loan spell then.
He might aswell be training with us. He showed some real promise a couple of seasons ago before his injuries

and with our injury list growing, we may need him.

Didn't get to see the game but last minute injuries to our better defenders wouldn't have helped and by all accounts Ozil's goal should have counted. 3 points never a realistic prospect there anyway, win our next 2 games by better than we lost the reverse ties then we should still be okay.

If the worst happens then we will just have to win the Europa.

Only half time, so I'm not getting excited yet, but Spurs easily the better side so far.

Ozil and Cazorla are both weak as piss.

It was theirs for the taking but the yids just don't have the bottle to be winners, simple as that.

I wasn't overly sold on Pochettino at first, but he's definitely added a touch of steel that we needed. We're still a fair way back from Arsenal, but at least I feel like we're gaining on them, rather than going backwards.

I'll be interested to see how the Goons manage when Sanchez gets the inevitable injury, he's a class above everyone else on the pitch, even the Spurs players :wink:

The gap is most definitely closing, not for the first time we were completely outplayed this year. When you look at some of the rubbish currently wearing an Arsenal shirt and at the youngsters pushing there way into the spuds it's a real worry.

Ali certainly looks a find , Spurs seem willing to give English players an opportunity , such as Mason, Dier, Rose and Trippier. Also you have had the latest from their academy in Josh Onomah, who seems to pushes his way past Andros Townsend.

True but if he went to Man City or Chelski probably wouldn't have seen him near first team. Just look at Roberts who has gone Man City from Fulham, hardly ever seen so far.

Bad performance, or as Wenger said a "nightmare"

Bad defending for both goals, throw in an own goal aswell, a missed penalty and two more injuries.

The one to Coquelin (who may miss up to 3 months) being the worst. We'll really be short coming up to the busy December period of fixtures.

You feel some players will be required to back up game after game - which could lead to more injuries.

Fingers crossed

Times like this make Mr Wenger look like a fool - especially not signing an outfield player in the Summer! Coq is going to be a huge loss and it will show in the coming weeks. Wenger will now rush Ramsey back, play him in the middle, make him run all day & he will be back on the injury table come the turn of the year

I have been very vocal in the past on FN about Arteta :roll: how he still gets a game/on the pine, let alone a contract extension even more so the captain of our club is an absolute joke! 5 years ago yes, but now he is a waste of space and that is so evident cause he cant even play 45mins without getting injured.

Gambling on a thin squad staying fit coming back to bite us.... yet again. I see a pattern emerging!!
