Vermaelen has been poor this season. Santos ata tusiongee. Podolski only played well in his first few games. Maybe it is time Wenger moved him into the Center Forward slot with Arsharvin (or Chamberlain when fit) replacing him on the left.

I think Arsenal's worst player in the recent past is Aaron Ramsey.
Anytime he plays the team plays poorly. He's not good attaching, not good defending work rate not good, passing not good.
I would be interested to know Arsenal's win rate when he plays for the last season and a half.

..we shouldnt loose to this this kawaida teams akina fulham,swansea,west brom etc thats the only way we can stay in touch with Chelsea,man city and man u...an away lose is ok but all home games should be won at the worst a draw...even chelsea can drop points against a team like Swansea and Totte lost to wigan at home kwanza...

Best weekend for United weekend thus far, you whip a direct competitor as all the other top teams lose points!!!!

Are you referring to the game that was played over the weekend??? That staement implies De Gea had very many saves to make during the game!!!

Rooney was undoubtedly the best Man Utd player despite missing the penalty (I don't know why RvP didn't take the penalty)...he was all over the pitch and his work rate was outstanding.

Frankly speaking it was a boring game of football (Man Utd only press hard when behind) and I actually thought it would be a closer match than it turned out, evidently I give goons too much credit. The scoreline was deceiving and the only blemish to the match was that we didn't keep a clean sheet.

Thank you @TAZ for reminding the great Man U that anything short of "victories is unacceptable for a team with title ambitions"....The team listened to you and acted accordingly.

May be its now high time you gave that fatherly advice to the team with the "strongest defence" courtesy of two words: "STEVE BOULD"

True though below the mbelt. I will take it, next up A.Villa.

That Chelsea Vs Liverfool, i will go with the latter. What is happening at Shitty?

Was wondering the same thing too. Which game was he watching? Gunners first shot on target came in the 91st minute. De Gea was a bystander for the better part of the match.

@Taz, stop postponing comparison of notes just when it suits you. And believe me, there was disappointment that United never scored more goals when you guys were there for the taking. Your team made the game so boring. Our chances were just more than Arsenal's? Are you kidding me? Were you playing FIFA 13? Podolski was MIA, Giroud was not in the same wavelengths with the midfield, Vermaelen was error-prone. Santos? Wacha tu.

@ Smano, if you look at my statement i've clearly said De Gea had a good game in quotes....what i meant was that he didn't do much in the game. My opinion of saturday's game was that Arsenal had a poor performance aganisnt Utd and deserved to lose but overally it was a very boring game especially the first half which you've also pointed out.....there was no flow in the match, no creativity or special performance to talk about. In all honesty i think TV5's blunder which led to the early Utd goal killed the team's spirit especially because he's the captain. Wenger should have started with Walcott, his introduction brought some excitement into the match. Cazorla redeemed himself and probably brought some respect to the scoreline with his sublime finish.

@ Jus Blazin.....Ati we made the game boring how now, i think its both set of plays who did that...you do realise it was a home game for Utd. You should be critical of your "lethal forward line" for being wasteful instead of praising them. Hata valencia didn't attack Santos as much as i had expected him to. RVP on the other hand also seemed to be slightly affected by the fact that he was facing his former club, i'm certain he refused to take the penalty. As one of the Sky pundits said the game was stuck between 2nd & 3rd gear. Hata Wilshere's departure didn't quite help your team at all. Anyway it was a poor performance by the gunners, only reason i'm not calling for Wenger's sacking is because it was an away game.

@ Mwenza....I actually agree with you that we have some serious catching up to do if we hold any ambitions of winning the league lakini hata in La Liga Real are 8 points a drift yet sijaskia anyone writing them off against a team that rarely drops any points.

@ Impunity.....Santos was having a nightmare on the pitch and the fans were really disappointed with his performance. Instead of concentrating on how he'll lock RVP out in the second half he disgracefully appeared to be collecting souvenir's on the pitch, hata RVP didn't want his shirt. Its like he wasn't ready to give it a go in the second half, he should atleast have done that inside the tunnel and not in full view of all Arsenal fans.

So why did Mr.Rowan Atkinson let Santos play the entire second half knowing that the kid was not up to the task?
