Shocking performance from back to front, totally flat and no energy or speed of play and no creativity going forward. With Ramsey, Xhaka, Ox and Walcott contributing nothing going forward no wonder we created next to nothing as team.
Defensivley just as bad being exposed by simple direct long balls just not good enough and defending from set pieces is woeful but that always has been with this silly zonal marking system. No leaders or orgainisers at the back.
Wenger no clue from the sidelines as usual same old tactics trying to pass the pall endlessly side to side more in hope that a gap will open up in centre where West Brom packed out the central area, it was crying out for more width.
We are just too easy to defend against. We basically either rely on Sanchez doing something or the opposition just getting tired watching the ball go side to side and make a mistake.
We had Wellbeck and Giroud on and yet we hardly put any crosses into the box shameful really.
On that performance we are light years from being contenders and I just can't see us getting top 4 this season based on that.
The board needs to bought out by people with real ambition and real money to back a new boss. Wenger and his staff needs to go for sure he has lost the motivation and real desire and the fight is just not in this team and that must come from the manager and coaches.
Too many average players that are simply not good enough to be in a top squad, Monreal, Gibbs, Gabriel, Jenkinson, Dubuchy, Ramsey, Ox, Couquelin, Xhaka, and Walcott. That is half the squad so tells you all you need to know.

Top 4 has gone I just hope we finish outside of any Euro place, I don't understand why Wenger hadn't announced what he's going, that's a mystery to me why play such a secretive game it seems to have completely messed with the players heads.

Xhaka did get an assist so it's not nothing from him lol.

Chelsea fan here. You can all blame Wenger to the core. But remember it's the players who are committing too many mistakes. I mean come on how can one team lose the same player twice from corner and gift him free header. U urgently need leaders on the pitch. Need street smart buy this summer irrespective of where u guys end up. Should be looking at centre backs who are leaders. That's a start.
{Ed025's Note - double edged sword though indian, is it the players or the manager who picks them?, the whole team are very low in confidence and motivation it looks like to me and thats down to the gaffer im afraid mate..

Spot on ED
Wenger has lost the ability to put belief into the players.

Indian blue same players got Mourinho sacked yet same players are about winning the league with Conte. Is that about right?
