    This is presumably not the chance where Ozil was through at 1-0 and hit it straight at the keeper with the whole goal to aim at. It was a lovely pass for Iwobi's chance, but I thought the goalie did quite well with that one.

    Yes, that one, keeper was out very quickly to cut the angle. Yes he probably should have scored but seen plenty of quality strikers miss those.

    Did you see the replay from behind the goal? Easier to score imo

    No, I was too furious when that ridiculous penalty was given 30s later!

    Iwobi did quite well with that one. Two quick touches to position the ball and open his body. From a tight angle I thought it was a good save.

    Ozil's attempt was pretty pathetic to be honest. Still... not his fault that the ref gave an absurd penalty and then the entire team decided they couldn't be arsed any more.

    Is it not also a bit pathetic that Ramsey is given the weekend off because he is too upset? Do other clubs do this?

    that'll be the great mental streeeength that Wenger is always referencing...

    Colney-creche, as they say, innit.

    I've been waiting for WES to come wading in, guns blazing, and evangelising about how much better the team was with no Ramsey involved.

    There's no such thing as a good save, P. There's only poor finishing.

    I wouldn't really blame either of them, to be honest; it would concern me if the Number 9 had failed to take either of those opportunities though.
