So we lost. To Ipswich. Strugglers in the Championship, buggered by Chelski 7-0 three days earlier. So we failed to score again. We thought Leeds with our v.2 team was bad. But to lose with our "A" Team is spectacularly pathetic.
Wenger has been characteristically vacant in his analysis. He thinks it's not time to panic.
Erm, okay. Zero goals from open play in 270 minutes. 180 of which were with obviously lesser teams from lower divisions. We played Cesc and the "A" Team for 90 useless minutes. Now we'll have to deal with the real consequences for a real tie with a real Premier League team on Saturday. Play like this against West Ham, and we sure gonna get embarassed.
We could've been playing Non-League opposition with 10 men, and we still wouldn't have scored. The Ipswich defence was so comfortable, it was downright disgraceful. Them lot should stick their day's wages in the can for charity.
I mean, I'm just glad we got out of Portman Road just one goal to the bad. It could've been worse, and really, it should've been worse. Which, if we take Wenger's advice, ain't nothing to be worried about.
Right...
So, it's now West Ham, Leeds, Wigan and Ipswich in our next four games.
For a team trying to doing something right this season, I can think of four easier games to win. But alas, it's looking scary.
But Wenger thinks it's not panicking time.
Wonder when it's time to start.
When he decides not to buy a defender? Or when get knocked out of both cups and lose to West Ham?
Who knows?
Arsene knows, it seems.
Ta ta. Me going to go be Zen Master now.
