Just had my Dad pop over and he watched the first half with me - he couldn't stop laughing at Arsenal's defending :lol:

Chelsea know they can let Arsenal have the ball as much as they like in the middle of the park - they just cannot work it in to the box because that is what Chelsea are defending. Crossing the ball is the only way in and I can't see Nasri, Arshavin or Walnut powering in a header above Terry, Carvalho, or Ivanovic.

You'd think we would have learned from last week. Here we are now, against an even stronger team and making the same mistakes.
Basic defending mistakes are being made, you'd have thought Wenger would have checked that.
He didn't learn from two seasons ago, when he should have bought when players got injured, he didn't buy.
What do you expect him to do? This is not so much about Arsenal going forward - at least we could get a point from a 0-0 draw. We have our strongest defence out there. We had it last week and if I'm not mistaken we had it against Chelsea at the Emirates. If they can't do the job, what is Wenger doing to do in one transfer window?

They don't try. Arsenal players stand in the box and wait for the ball to arrive. Players like Rooney and Drogba will move towards the ball, make an effort to bust a gut to get there. Our players don't. Nasri floated a beautiful ball into the box - Arsenal players just watched it. Nowhere near enough hunger. It's like the game against Man United has drained something from Arsenal and I didn't expect that.

Chelsea seem to be holding onto the ball more this second half, maybe trying to take the sting out of the game

Like last week, Arsenal are lacking serious composure. They're not passing the ball to each other, they're blasting it.
