It’s a slow day on the Arsenal front.
Saturday’s limp and pitiful performance has left everyone in a state of ‘Meh, whatever’.
Let’s have a poll to relieve this listlessness ….

No Mesut, not injured but a tactical decision to leave him out of the squad? What does that say to the other players going into the game? Something’s afoot.
First Half
Two equally poor teams created a roughly equal number of half chances. Really dreadful viewing. Is anyone else sick of watching forwards running around like blue arsed flies trying to close down centre backs with the ball. About 10 minutes of that first half seemed to be spent trying to move 20 yards up the pitch. Shockingly painful to watch.
As Didit said “Sick to the teeth of this passing the bloody thing around between 9 ‘effing defenders all sodding afternoon”
Second Half
We couldn’t be any worse, surely? Oh yes, we could.
Three minutes after the restart, a poorly defended breakdown from a corner and the most committed player on the pitch has a free strike from 14 yards. Leno had no chance.
Torreira and Ramsey on for Xhaka and Mustafi at least gave a semblance of hope. Ramsey, playing without the encumbrance of an Arsenal future started to make things happen, popping up all over in dangerous positions. Chances came and went. Auba had one of his barn door days.
Hector added more hope but ultimately we were just not good enough to score.
Conclusion
Wagner will be happy his side sneaked the points. They did seem hungrier and snappier in the tackle. Arsenal seemed lethargic and listless after a week’s solid training to get the team nailed down and perfect for matchday.
We were swamped in midfield as Kola and A.M-N didn’t help at all, leaving Wobbly, Laca and Auba isolated.
Auba and Laca do not a good combination make, regardless of the fact that they’re two of our best players – no linkage whatsover.
Making a poor West Ham side look ok, FFS.
Ratings
Leno – Nowt to do except pick the ball out of the back of his net … 6
Maitland-Niles – not sure he found a mint choc shirt with one pass in that dreadful first 45 … 2
Mustafi – awful tackling, think he might be a bit thick … 4
Sokratis – tried hard to shackle both Arnautovic and Carroll … 5
Koscielny – not really much to do as a centre back, had plenty of touches trying to get the ball up to the halfway line … 5
Kolasinac – so far offside for the chances he set up in the second, pretty clueless … 5
Xhaka – No command of the midfield today, though missed having a link player to pass forward to. Most ducked the responsibility of making themselves available for a pass … 4
Guendouzi – passing a bit off today – popped up all over when we really could have done with attempting to establish some midfield control – needs to work on his shooting … 5
Iwobi – flitted in and out of the match like a moth battering its head on a lightbulb – perhaps looked most likely to open up the bus once Ramsey had come on … 5
Aubameyang – not his finest day in a pistachio coloured shirt – perhaps should have had at least one … 4
Lacazette – huffed and puffed without really doing a great deal … 5
Subs
Ramsey – my MOTM – looks to have had a weight lifted from his shoulders … 6
Torreira – should have been on from the start sat in front of the back four … 6
Bellerin – suddenly the right flank was an option when he came on … 6
Managers
Wagner – Overjoyed his team faced an even worse team today … 6
Emery – Oh dear, not good – strange team selection after a full week to get things right in training, led to a disjointed team performance – no discernible plan visible … 3
chas
=======================================================
You also have some player assessments from LB to savour – you lucky folk.
Leno: couldn’t do anything about the goal, otherwise, and in view that they didn’t score anymore, he was fine.
Koscielny: one of the few bright spots in the sense that he no longer looked out of place.
Mustafi: 6th place defender for a 6th place team.
Big Sok: no mistakes, slightly better than recent past.
Kolasinac: couldn’t get his byline thing up and running and we suffered because of it.
AM-N: so disappointing, poor passing, poor positioning, no penetration, let it not be said that he didn’t get his chances.
Xhaka: another of the few and far between bright spots in this game; that’s to say, Emery finally took of his “I Love Granit” glasses off and hooked him. Another school boy error to gift WH the points.
Guendouzi: not bad, wish he would show a bit more strength, he is muscled off the ball too easily.
Iwobi: in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
Lacazzete: ran around a lot in the first half, faded in the second.
Aubameyang: poor close control, poor errrrr pretty much everything really completely ineffectual.
What a crap day when Nasri is the most talented player on the pitch.

The scene:
First up, the bleeding obvious. Real Madrid and Juventus are always looking to strengthen/upgrade. All teams, from Barcelona to Bognor are always two players short. We will never be any different.
The CB? If talk of limited budget and only loan deals is to be believed, where’s the benefit of signing some short-term aged colossus? One of the essential ingredients of a good defence is understanding between the back three/four. I reckon we’re better off with what we have until a sensible budget is available. Also, we may get some top level experience for the promising Mavro and therefore have a clearer understanding of CB requirements for the summer after the return of Holding. We may well need a quality CB, but I don’t believe a stop gap loan is going to make any significant difference this season and I ‘d rather we wait.
Oh, and by the way, in that poll, I voted (twice) for an attacking midfielder.
Throughout this first half of the season, we’ve been plagued with the repeating pattern of a game of two halves. As I said earlier, our Goals For column is ok, unlike the Goals Against and the temptation for many is to assume that automatically implies the need to strengthen at the back.
BUT, throw in the fact that our defence has been ravaged by injuries, and I come up with another explanation.
Bloggers have mentioned our rope-a-dope sixty odd minutes of containment before invariably only landing the knock-out blows late in the game. This means the defence are under pressure for too long in every game. To be expected when playing the better sides, but we’re subjecting our defence to this every game, and this may explain the high casualty rate.
This brings me back to the Goals For column, which I described as Ok. Of course you can never score enough, however, we lie joint third in this column, but here’s the problem. We don’t score a higher enough percentage of these in the first forty five against the lower calibre sides. We don’t finish ‘em off before oranges. The problem this side has is not how many we score, but when.
In short, the attacking midfielders are not performing.
Unai is clearly still evaluating his largely inherited squad, and I’d expect a cull before significant quality replacements are brought in to compliment HIS ideas and vision.
I’d be ok with no arrivals this window, unless of course, Stan unearths a stash to……nah.

This question was posed on twitter by @ltarsenal and some of the replies were quite surprising, so why not have a crack at it on here while we wait for the weekend?
Runners and Riders (in no particular order)
Rob Holding
Many were surprised when Calum C went out on loan before the season started and a certain lad we bought from Bolton for a £2m was chosen to stay and develop at his home club. His play this season has been a revelation. Cool, composed, able to bring the ball forward and with an eye for a pass, too. Some might say our defence looking decidely ropey has coincided with his absence.
Lucas Torreira
Eased in slowly frustrating Arsenal fans at the start of the season, Lucas began by making top notch contributions from the bench before getting his starting berth. Perhaps, if LBG is correct and he’s been moved further forward in Unai’s recent formations, his effectiveness has been slightly lessened when not sat right in front of the back four receiving and destroying.
Alex Lacazette
Many replies on twitter mentioned Laca. He is a fans’ favourite and certainly brings an aggressiveness and work rate which often seem responsible for lifting the whole shooting match. Less goals than Auba from perhaps more chances but he’s often won back possession from his feisty closing down (and given away a few free kicks into the bargain!).
Granit Xhaka
To some, Granit’s inclusion in this list would be the biggest shock but he does seem Unai’s first name on the teamsheet in many respects. When we are playing well, he does seem the centre of the well-oiled machine. Countless accurate passes and an ability to switch play others lack. Detractors would say ‘yes, but how many of those passes actually achieve anything’. Then again, all teams require water carriers, ask Gilberto.
Hector Bellerin
When he’s missing from the team, you do start to realise how important he is on the right side. Still not the finest defender in the world but such a talent on the ball. Arsenal’s right flank without the Catwalk king and, to a lesser extent Micki, has been a little lacking in punch, drive and creativity.
Pierre Emerick Aubameyang
Goals from nowhere, some have suggested we’d be floating just below mid-table without Auba’s 14 goals. His strike record in October/November was simply stunning, scoring from virtually all of his shots on target. A fair few of his goals have come when he’s made an entrance off the bench. Some point out his lack of fire, Laca style, but maybe that isn’t the quality he was bought for.
I’m not sure if anyone else should be regarded as a contender.
What do you think? Could you make a case for someone not listed above.
Mesut anyone?

Prompted by my Bros to expand on my criticism of Dick’s current tactics evident at the Fulham game, I offer another controversial effort for the perusal of AAers the world over.
I qualify what I am going to say in advance with the facts that…….
To explain:- Dick has regularly opted recently for the following three players in the vital “central triangle of defence”, and it is here he is making his mistake. Mustafi and Sokratis as CBs, with Xhaka in the central holding/receiving slot.
I will start with the CBs (without really needing to for anyone with eyes).
Sokratis has got guts, is committed and occasionally is in the right place at the right time (See fourth goal against Fulham). But good enough for us as a CB? Nah!
Mustafi is dog’s poo (thought I’d do your job for you, ed). Positionally poor, rarely wins a header as he is a short arse, slide tackles late and nowhere near the ball. Good enough for us as a CB? Nah!
Now, given this criticism, Dick has doubled the problems in his triangle by allowing Xhaka to play at the top as holding/receiver of passes from these two! Xhaka is in my eyes massively overrated. Sure he can spray long balls, but only when the oppo back off, and these long balls are rarely “dynamic” in their effect. (He is no Alonso). Under pressure he shovels poop, and under real pressure, he makes potentially disastrous passes. (He is no Gilberto). He cannot tackle really, and is regularly booked for this (lack of) “skill”. (He is no Kante……or for that matter, Terrier). And much of this slaughtering criticism is because he is not quick enough of thought or limb.
Sorry, I seem to have been a little scathing!
Does he deserve a place in the starting eleven? Well, for the moment my answer is ‘yes’. But play him forward of Terrier and Ouzi (alongside each other and in front of the defence). Both of these two are better at the job required there and, will shore up some of the defensive frailty currently evident. “For the moment” for that is the position I advocate for A M-N in the future, and then it could be bye bye Xhaka for me.
My view, sorry if you think I am still drunk with joy from my recent Birthday.

Much of the build up to the game focused on the owner of Blackpool FC who appears to want to watch the club go under rather than cede to public opinion. Hopefully the large band of travelling Gooners were all aware that money spent in the ground was only going to benefit one person. The empty stands showed the depth of contempt there is for the man in Blackpool. Really sad.
The other big concern in the warm-up was Kos suffering with his back and having to be replaced by Jenks. Hopefully it was more of a precaution due to the ropey nature of the pitch, rather than anything long term.
First Half
An entertaining opening to the game should have seen Arsenal over the hill and far away but Blackpool did have the odd effort or two. Eddie didn’t read his script. First he tried a near post shot when going across the keeper was the obvious option. Then he was unluckier in that A.M-N’s ball across the face of goal was just at the limit of his stretch causing a miss that looked worse than it was.
Eventually we did take the lead when a Rambo free kick came off Shearing’s shoulder and flew against the post but fell nicely for Joe Willock to nod into an empty net. Jenks could have nodded for the net instead of back across goal from a delightful dink from Wobbly.

That man Wobbly was again instrumental in the second goal. Controlling a nice forward pass superbly on his thigh, he laid the ball into the path of the oncoming Corporal who crossed for Eddie whose little nick at the near post fell nicely for Joe to add his second.
Eddie then missed the easiest of his chances, not fooling the keeper in a one-on-one.
Second Half
Didn’t see a lot of the second period but it sounded like I didn’t miss much. Wobbly popped up to seal the victory, tapping in after Laca had set up Rambo’s toe poke.
“We want you to stay” Paul Ellis/AFP/Getty Images
I was disappointed that Saka was given just a few worthless minutes at the tail end of the game whereas Laca was forced to play for a full half hour. Still what do I know, Saka for Eddie wouldn’t have made sense either.
Conclusion
Job done, no injuries hopefully if the rumour about Kos being cotton-woolled is correct. Fourth Round for us this year, unlike last, with the draw to be made after Monday night’s game at Molineux.
Good luck to the Blackpool fans in their quest to remove the offending excrescence from their club’s shoes.
Ratings
Cech – only flapped at the odd one, otherwise competent … 7
Jenks – looked lively and involved in the game throughout – great for him to get a full game playing for his beloved Arsenal … 7
Lichtsteiner – a bit iffy in places but he was expecting to be terrorising a winger not having the extra responsibility of playing centrally … 6
Papa – enjoyed his duel with Blackpool’s big lad up front … 7
Wardrobe – his defensive abilities weren’t really tested … 7
Elneny – busy and efficient – not sure if he played his way into the first team though … 7
Ramsey – a class apart and seems to be enjoying his role as senior spoke in the second string wheel … 8
Willock – two goals and looked excellent on the ball especially in the first part of the game (i.e. the bit that I saw) – extra point for the brace … 8
Maitland-Niles – (definitely need a nickname for him?) another who looked above the level of the game but then again, you’d hope he would since we all have such high hopes for him … 8
Wobbly – Enjoyed himself at the seaside – another fine performance from the Nigerian Messi … 8
Eddie – shame he couldn’t take one of his chances – his running, movement and ability on the ball were excellent though … 7
Subs
Laca – When Unai was giving him instructions about coming on, you could see he would have preferred to stay snuggly in his sleeping bag – didn’t really affect the course of the game apart from freeing Rambo for the third … 6
Medley – had a nasty bump on the hip when flipped by a challenge while he was in the air, looked composed … 6
Saka – poor lad goes all that way to touch the ball three times … 6

So, the achievement of Arsene’s squad of 2003/4 remains without equal for another season.
Liverpool succumbed at the 21st hurdle thanks to a determined Citeh side keen to make a decent fist of defending their title and to 11 millimetres of a football which refused to cross a goal line.
The tide swung towards Pep’s side when Aguero lashed in superbly at the near post but Firmino’s equaliser had us all wondering if last night wasn’t to be the night when Liverpool’s Lost column clicked round to ‘1’. Leroy Sané scraped one in off the far post and via a small deflection to give us what we wanted in the 72 minute.
Dejan Lovren’s ‘Liverpool can go unbeaten’ claim a day or two ago now seems faintly ridiculous with the Christmas decorations still up. I doubt he was too popular in the Liverpool camp putting the bock on it, big-style.
The red mancs managed 24 games at the start of the 2010/11 season before losing to Wolves which remains second to Arsenal’s full season unbeaten in the Premier League era.
To go the full 38 games seems unbelievable and is rightly up there as perhaps Arsene’s finest achievement.
Maybe some club will eventually emulate the achievement of Paddy, Thierry, Sol, Ralph, Jens, Kolo and Arsene (amongst others) in the modern era, but until they do, let’s celebrate the glory of that magnificent accomplishment in the 2003/4 season with all our hearts.
p.s. it was LBG’s birthday yesterday – quite a nice present I’d say.

Three home games in the Prem plus a little trip down to the Olympic Stadium in East London. There is also the small matter of an FA Cup trip to Blackpool (which is nearly in Scotland).
So, New Years Day and Fulham at home. Writing this before the game, it is absolutely imperative that the manager plus his team (however patched up it may be), get the supporters back on side after the disgrace of that Anfield performance. (4-1, not to be sniffed at)
The first weekend in January we have a trip to the Lancashire Riviera in the FA Cup and a tea time kick off. Blackpool are a club in turmoil at the moment with fans boycotting matches to protest against the current owner’s lack of financial investment and regard for the club in general. Read more here.
https://atthematch.com/article/how-the-oystons-destroyed-blackpool
Maybe the visit of the mighty Arsenal will stir the locals. If not, there could well be more Gooners than home fans in Bloomfield Road.
West Ham away the weekend after is a lunchtime kick off. We’ve done pretty well at the London Stadium so far with one thumping victory which Ant and me saw sat in with the home fans. We were virtually the only ones left in our row by the time the ref blew the final whistle. Last season saw a tedious 0-0.
The chavs at home on the 19th Jan is back to a tea time kick off. (Arsenal are always good box office – shame it’s not always for the right reasons these days). Chelsea have been on the slide in recent weeks but now seem to be turning things around.
The last weekend in Jan is for FA Cup 4th Round fixtures. Our participation will depend on how well we do up the Tower this weekend.
Our fixtures for January 2019 are capped off with a home game against Cardiff on Tuesday 29th and will be our third chance of doing the double over a Prem team after Fulham and West Ham.

After that disgrace at Anfield against the country’s best team, a decent result was essential heading into a New Year against a Fulham side also struggling for confidence.
First Half
Both sides showed some nerves early on and it was a bit scrappy. Thankfully Sessegnon left his shooting boots at home. Suddenly Granit decided to risk a nosebleed by moving into the rarefied heights of the penalty area. Wobbly’s pass was cleverly left by Laca and the big Swiss had a fairly simple toe poke finish.

Arsenal’s play picked up from there and we should have added to the lead before half time.
Second Half
The second goal was a thing of beauty with incisive work filleting Fulham’s left flank. Auba’s clever pass to the Wardrobe put him in the ideal position to lay one on a plate for Laca.
After a couple of chances to extend our lead the Tinkerman brought on two forwards with a gambler’s throw of the dice. A sloppy pass out to the Terrier and a barge in the back won Fulham the ball and the inevitable, ‘brown trousers watching The Arsenal’ period of the game came as the lead was halved by a sub. Fulham scented a wounded animal, so the next goal would be crucial.
Thankfully Rambo came on as sub and almost immediately followed up an Auba pinger against the post and we could breathe easy once again. Auba then missed a little dink finish over the keeper before finally getting his goal via a deflection and a Papa assist.
4-1 and game over for a Fulham team which probably expected no less.
Reuters
Conclusion
A fine result considering the less than perfect performance, though why we can’t see out winning positions without giving everyone kittens will, seemingly, forever be a weakness.
Ratings
Leno – competent, making crucial stops when the game threatened to slip away from us … 7
Maitland-N – right wing back or right back, equally adept – starting to get some confidence back … 7
Papa – far happier playing lesser strikers and his first assist for twenty years … 6
Kos – our captain is slowly beginning to find his feet again … 7
Shkod – Injured or another half-time tactical admission that we got things wrong in the first half? … 6
Wardrobe – majestic at wing back – like a runaway train on the burst, setting up chances with its front wheels … 8
Guendouzi – heart of a lion – more to come from the young man … 7
Xhaka – his goal should have been the cue for a landslide – he himself could have had another – excellent through ball in the second half to set Laca free … 7
Wobbly – big chances galore came from his feet in the first half – much improved … 8
Laca – Fine goal and perhaps didn’t moan quite as much when he was subbed …. 7
Auba – a goal machine – he’s going to run away with the golden boot if he can sharpen his finishing even further … 7
Subs
Terrier – clearly he needs a rest as he’s been carrying some of the team on his tiny shoulders earlier in the season … 6
Rambo – instant impact at exactly the right moment – thanks for all the goals Aaron … 7
Saka – debut boy got a brief taste of the high life … 6
chas (who largely saw the game through BBC goal flashes and Arsenalist clips on Twitter)
How lucky are you? Double Bubble and a rather more sombre reflection on the day’s proceedings from LBG, your man at the stadium……
At the start of the day Chas asked for a “game to be proud of”. I will include the word proud for as long as is possible, but I’m afraid readers may see it disappearing into the ether quite quickly in my assessment of the game.
Be proud AAers of the result and three points, of some evidence of determination to rectify the travesty of a performance that was Anfield.
Be pleased with another goal from Aubang ( even thought he should have had an easy hat-trick) and Laca being given enough time on the pitch to score his goal before being (ridiculously) substituted. (Be pleased that he thought about kicking up a right fuss on seeing his number, but refrained when he heard the whole ground boo the decision, and instead went off graciously).
Be pleased with the short period of time AM-N was able to influence the game further forward before being dragged back in the rearranged defence.
Be pleased Fulham were useless in front of goal and Leno had little to do. (Two x Sessegnon chances put away early on and we could have lost!)
Be pleased that Kos is back, even if puzzled by the couple of pub defenders playing alongside him, which makes him more nervous than usual.
Be pleased Ramsey mishit a shot and scored.
Sorry, that’s the best I can do on the “proud”ish front.
I have an opinion, on why much is not right currently and will share when others have disagreed with everything I’ve said!
LBG Ratings
Leno – What he had to do was fine. Goal was up the other end and, although looked somewhat chaotic, didn’t seem he had added to that … 7
AM-N – Some good things going forward, breaking inside. Shame dragged back, where he is wasted, but still kept his end up defensively … 7
Mustafi – No pace, poor positioning, no sense of danger. Always tackles to the ground. Rarely gets the ball … 3/4
Sokratis – Didn’t win anything in the air. Always tackles to the ground. Sometimes gets the ball … 4
Kos – Some good work. Unlike the other two, does find his own players mostly with passes going forward … 5/6
Wardrobe – Some good work going forward. Not a very good defender … 6
Ouzi – A good game generally. Looking to play “dynamic” passes and succeeds generally. Makes some mistakes (He’s young), but positive, which is what I want from him … 7
Xhaka – Slows everything down, shovels poop, passed back more often than forward. Is simply not good enough, not quick of thought and action enough to be “the Controller ” in the deep-lying central position. And because he is (trying) to do this job, displaces Terrier to the right, which wastes him through lack of contact with the ball … 3 (for his goal)
Wobbly – End product, passing, shooting, dribbling generally poor. Knocked off the ball several times easily. Dribbles round and round and round and up his own backside … 4 ( for his pass for Xhaka’s goal, and probably something else that I’ve forgotten)
Aubang – Goal. Missed goals, closes down occasionally. Would like to see more heart … 6/7
Laca – Goal. Works hard, makes runs, rarely found due to people like Xhaka not looking up unless opposition back off and then Laca’s runs are marked … 7
Subs
Ramsey – Goal … 6
Terrier – ( couple of poor tackles on him. Lucky not to be injured …. again) … 6
And the winger Did he touch the ball?
Graham Scott? more like Terry Scott Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images
Referee – Absolute pants (original choice of description didn’t pass the censors – ed). One penalty waved away. Tackles from behind allowed throughout the second half … 1

Fulham were formed in 1879 as Fulham St Andrew’s Church Sunday School F.C., founded by worshippers (mostly adept at cricket) at the Church of England on Star Road, West Kensington (St Andrew’s, Fulham Fields). They won the West London Amateur Cup in 1887 and, having shortened the name from Fulham Excelsior to its present form in 1888, they then won the West London League in 1893 at the first attempt.
The club gained professional status on 12 December 1898, the same year that they were admitted into the Southern League’s Second Division. They were the second club from London to turn professional, following Arsenal then named Royal Arsenal 1891.
Famous names like Johnny Haynes, Bobby Moore, Rodney Marsh and George Best had been part of the team through the years.
Our first league meeting with Fulham was in Division 2 on March 14th 1914 and it ended in a 2-0 victory for Arsenal. Overall we have played them 27 times at home and Fulham have never won a single game; they have managed just 5 draws and have been outscored 67 to 23.

At the time of writing Fulham’s 2018-19 record is W2, D5, L12, GF17, GA43 and they are in 19th place.
I cannot envisage anything other than a victory for Arsenal.
