He's injured

Memphis is the most overrated player we have ever signed, not just from this game, ive said it before we signed him and still feel that way. Get him off for anyone. Lets just launch it into Fellaini now, we have nothing to lose.

Untied · Oct 4, 2015

It's amazing how fragile Arsenal look even 3-0 up.

Having said that it makes our performance even more embarrassing. So many players not working hard enough.

Hammerfell · Oct 4, 2015

I'm rather glad I'm out and can't watch this. Have they all been dreadful?

Rezyuz · Oct 4, 2015

This team has no leader. No pittbull to motivate and punish players who under perform.

Injured.

bosnian_red · Oct 4, 2015

Awful half from us. Mainly because of the opening 10 minutes. Have a huge task to come back but its doable, arsenal will still crumble under the pressure if we start the second half well and get a goal. Carrick needs to come off though as does Memphis. Both been shocking.

TBF singling out Rooney is a little unfair. I mean pretty much every single player has looked absolutely crap.

True but unlike the rest of the team, he is playing at his current level.

RetroStu · Oct 4, 2015

The only bright point about this is that we surely can't be as bad in the 2nd half.....right?

#07 · Oct 4, 2015

Don't know where to begin with this. We are very lucky not to be even further behind. Would never have expected this.

We looked totally lost when Arsenal pressed high early on, and we couldn't cope with the runners from midfield. Our midfield is too slow.

No idea what tactical preparation went into this, the players seemed literally stunned by Arsenal's approach.

Slevs · Oct 4, 2015

Honestly speaking, does anyone have any hope of a comeback in this game?

mav_9me · Oct 4, 2015

Martial's chance was our way in. 3-1 and try again in 2nd half. Not to be.

Rowem · Oct 4, 2015

All 3 of Depay, Rooney and Mata look toothless.

Need Schneiderlin for a game like this, and Jones CB + Blind LB would have made far more sense.

The Law of Denis · Oct 4, 2015

I think we can take plenty of positives from that first half. For one, it ended.

NessunDorma · Oct 4, 2015

The one consolation is that if there's any top 4 team capable of throwing away a 3-0 lead at home, it's Arsenal.

We need to hope they take their foot off the gas, and that we drastically improve in the 2nd half.

Otherwise:

Very similar to last year's game, only this time Arsenal took their chances, where as last year they didn't. Blitzed us from the off.

horsechoker · Oct 4, 2015

It's a shame we can only make 3 subs.

Revan · Oct 4, 2015

Boycott said:
Depay's got a shit attitude

Yep. The bad thing is that he doesn't look like that raw young talented player. He just looks like an awful player who doesn't even bother to run.

thank god for that, in my years of watching them , this is the worst.

Agreed.

The worst part isn't even that we're down three to nothing. It's the fact that we're down three to nothing and still playing as if we're a goal up that's killing me. We have no other facets to our game than rolling the ball around in fromt of the opposition, regardless of the circumstances. It's fecking infuriating.

No tempo, no urgency, no spine, no nothing when the going gets tough.

yep - like robots.

If we score a goal.. they will crumble..

Doubt it. They look like scoring everytime they come. I think Martial's miss has effectively handed them the win. Would have been a great time to score and give us something to aim for in the second half.

Now we shall see what LVG does.
He is supposed to be tactically astute and he knows he must try and win or draw this game.
So, lets see how he sets out to do this.

Do you honestly think that is going to happen? He just has to make sure this doesn't turn into more of an embarrassment than it already is.

Beside Martial and Blind

You're not wrong, but when the team is malfunctioning like this you look to your captain to get people going, and him being on of the worst out there just exacerbates things.

I don't think he's been the worst. Carrick, Schwein, Memphis, Young and Darmian have been the worst players.

Rooney would rank somewhere in the middle.

Flying_Heckfish · Oct 4, 2015

Memphis, Rooney and Darmian all deserve the hook

snk123 · Oct 4, 2015

Well we can't blame Valencia today that's for sure.

I know I didn't have any hope by 2-0.

Gandalf Greyhame · Oct 4, 2015

One thing I don't understand is, how can we so be lazy, half-arsed and pedestrian even when 3 down? We're casually strolling about. I can understand going three down, I can't understand not showing any desire to get back.

Where's the tempo? Where's the hunger for the goal? Do we even believe we can come back?
Or is the only solution possession again?

MajorTom · Oct 4, 2015

The guy behind the stream that I'm watching has decided to play The Sound of Silence at HT. Fecking cnut.

hbgreg · Oct 4, 2015

Mentality of the players has to be questioned, look like a team ready for the international break and not one fighting for first.

we better not be.

need schneiderlin on ASAP. we are getting overrun far too easily.

prath92 · Oct 4, 2015

Reminds me of the 3-3 at the bridge.

Kill 'em all · Oct 4, 2015

Rip good start of season.

glazed · Oct 4, 2015

Can we take off Rooney and Carrick and Depay and Darmian and Blind? Is that allowed?

DevilRed said:
Fergie had the perfect tactics against the gooners. Sit back, absorb pressure/frustrate them by giving them no space for at least 15/20 minutes in the first half and counter attack them. Also involved us playing more physical and putting in some strong challenges.

This was really naïve tactically from LVG.

1000 times This.

I said this exact thing in pre match and was almost certain we'll lose today.

Acole9 · Oct 4, 2015

I think I'll just be happy if this isn't 5, 6 or more for Arsenal. We was pathetic in the first half. Schweinsteiger needs to come off his performance has been a disgrace.

PSingh · Oct 4, 2015

Reminds me so much of the United bayern game when LVG was the Bayern manager. Fair play to Arsenal they have been excellent on the break. It's so frustrating that we continue to know the ball around as if we are winning the game.

We better not be. Need to at least make it respectable and get back some goals.

Maradona10 · Oct 4, 2015

we havent been bad, just got caught 3 times. Its just one of those days, i am not liking it but arsenal have had 3 shots that have gone in. we have one opp that didnt. I expect us to score and run the game close. I hope we can turn this around but dont thinks its our day.

3KDré · Oct 4, 2015

The problem is, we have no impact subs. Literally no one. We have back ups, but no one who can turn us around.

Best thing to do is sub on Herrera and Pereira.

LLMU · Oct 4, 2015

I am switching over to watch Bayern-Dortmund game. Memphis and Darmian having a nightmare.

Giggs86 · Oct 4, 2015

Only reason i'm still watching is because it's Arsenal. The only teams in the world that can bottle a three goal lead are Arsenal and Tottenham.
