Appalling management from Wenger tonight

11 December 2013

The game was crying out for Theo at half time . If he is not fit then don't bring him.

When Arteta was sent off why didn't he replace Ozil with Vermaelen? Our players were dead on their feet....but Wenger could not see it !!!

We are now second in our group and destined to meet Barca while Manu Utd get Galatasaray or Olympiakos.

Higuain showed us what a good striker looks like. Does nothing for most of the game but still looks dangerous, then makes something out of a half chance. I like Ollie but he is not good enough to start every game for us.He is just too slow.

Who cares of we get a top team. We'd have to play them in the quarters anyhow.

Maybe wenger thinks Walcott isn't quite ready and doesn't want to risk him for city/ Chelsea coming up.

If not at half time then 60 minutes for sure. At that point the team started to look wobbly. Exactly the time to inject some pace and incision to keep Napoli on their toes and who knows, get on the end of some promising move. We had the more purposeful possession but had no movement up front.
Instead he throws in Ramsey as RW to keep playing keepball. Pathetic.

Yeah. We were dying for Walcott. Surprised he brought on Ramsey and Monreal instead.

Monreal was a no brainer as hes good when he comes on. But why Rambo for Santi who was actually playing ok for once. Theo should have come on.
