Arsenal 0 - 0 Southampton

Well.

Not the day I was hoping for, that's for sure.  Fourth place, behind the Spuds on goal difference (10!).  I don't have much to say.  Flamini was awful, and I don't understand how Walcott gets on the field anymore.  Everyone else played well, but the Saints defense was too well organized and too strong--and Forster made a couple very good saves.  It could easily have been worse, had Mane, Long, or another Saint converted good chances.  But we had ten shots on target to their three, and dominated the second half.  We should have won this.  My optimism has evaporated.  It's not enough to have most of the players back; Wenger has to play the right ones.  We miss Cazorla.

Three points out of twelve.  That's relegation form, not trophy form.  I guess this is who we are.  One point out of Southampton, none from Chelsea...unacceptable.  Even a Champions' League place is questionable if Wenger can't turn things around, and quickly.
