Tonight's Performance

Good to see there's not too much bashing on the boards tonight to begin with

I know we lost but we played pretty well with our second string team out and I was happy to see Arsene hadn't buckled under the pressure of fans to field a strong team for the win

A win would have been beneficial for confidence but there are positives


-Ramsey wanted to get involved and took the playing time well

-Rosicky showed he can control a midfield well as we saw last season and will be a great rotational player to have around

-Chamakh proved all those who make him a scapegoat wrong. He is no impact sub nor a striker who we should be fielding in big games, but he is a decent enough back-up and for his 3rd start since this time last year I was impressed at his hunger. Only really the high wages I see as a downside of keeping him

-Szczesny, Meade & Vermaelen had pretty good games respectfully

-Everyone got some playing time

-We're safely through to the Knock Outs with no injuries picked up in the final game



Haters gonna hate.. but in Wenger I Trust
