I thought he was top class? Looks like a complete donkey.
A sh!t Didi Hamann imo
Pretty much everyone appeared to chuck the towel in after the penalty. I thought Bellerin was the worst. A couple of times he was stood in the box making no effort to reach a loose ball at all. Noticed Elneny do the same.
I doubt it is much more than a lack of confidence and morale in the dressing room. Unfortunately, none of it will get addressed as Wenger will focus on the penalty. The truth is it is our reaction to the penalty that cost us the game. Wenger sulked, so did the players.
Thought Troy Deeney's comment were spot on.
A general lack of conviction from the team...the 1st half was a little too casual for me...just happy to tap it around without going for the kill.
"Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.
"But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."
interesting thread on Reddit where they're arguing about the formation i.e. Back 3, back 4, 442, 443, 4231 etc
Personally think at times we could have 12 on the pitch and still lose because the attitude of the players isn't right.
They can do it...we saw that when they mastered City and Chelsea in the Cup...maybe Wenger isn't ruthless enough with them.

For sure. We lose too many silly games in similar circumstances year after year for the results to be down simply to individual error, it is a collective problem starting at Wenger and down through the players.
There are 2-3 players who will always be the lightning rod for fans anger, in some twisted world of reality I expect Ramsey is taking stick for Saturday even though he was absent. Xhaka stood still while Cleverley moved into space but the collapse in performance had happened long before.
The situation with Ozil and Sanchez, an absolute fúcking shambles which we created for ourselves in the summer. We are not selling, no way, we will stand firm, okay we will sell, shít it's too late.
Every bad performance or result turned into an over analysis of effort and attitude.
Long season ahead.
