ashley cole set-up volley for drogba to open things, vermaelen own goal identical to drogba's 3 minutes later, and reminiscince of cristiano ronaldo on drogba's screamer of a free-kick to put the 'cherry on top'..

after sunday's result, i think its clear cut that we gooners are in a load of trouble..no van persie. no potentcy in attack up front. no points. men against boys in a 3-0 chelsea demolition. top 4 pretender you can say we are right now..loss here loses a spot to well playing tottenham and we're sitting pretty for villa. not long for them to take 4th spot by recent form....we must start winning and to hold off the climbers but tough without a muscle players...

muscle you ask? traore just bounces off drogba in attempt to grab hold of him. arshavin gets bulldozed by ivanovic on a challenge for the ball..men against boys no? intimidators like vieira and sol campbell we need..not lunchbag-size toys like denilson, vela, or eduardo. you trade power for speed, but when you have a team straightly built for outpacing the opposition but fail to do so..well the answer is quite obvious. you lose, and you lose big just like sunday.

its obvious that not having lifted any silverware since '05 i think a little encouragement is needed to bring quality depth to a youth filled club. mainly at striker. very disappointing if arsene wenger expects eduardo to carry the load with arshavin the rest of the season because they cant. we need to buy at least one striker and pray bendtner can be fit gunnerspeed!! midfielders also need a big upgrade..half of arsenal's often first team midfielders should be 2nd team at best..hardly any depth at all, and with that thin depth all built like featherweights.

having said you can see im clearly depressed over arsenal's recent form. just shocked on how fast reality of the league just caught up in a blink of an eye..makes it even tougher to accept the fact that we, are no longer in title contention.
