    Miquel is above Squillaci so there is enough bodies in the way from him.....(jinxed it now...)

    Well, Squllaci was allegedly injured when Miquel sneaked onto the bench so I'm going to keep the panic button within reach until he leaves the club and the danger is completely gone.

    Do we train on a minefield or use live rounds for shooting practice, or what? Or are our players some sort of freaky science experiment, running up and down in radio vests with broccoli sticking out their aresholes and Wenger feverishly recording his stats until they all drop? What do his stats tell us about our fucking eternal injury list? I thought we were getting this sorted, last year we managed a mere disaster in terms of players missing - well up from the usual cataclysm. Back down the hill though.

    I am hoping we can revert to 4-4-2 and have Song in the CB position with Mertesacker. The 2 CM positions can be filled by Arteta, JW (next season), Rosicky, Jew, Ramsey, Ping Pong

    Why, when we have two CBs better than Song, would we move him back there?

    Nowt wrong with keeping a high line if the rest of the team pitches in and most of the back line are mobile and organised, those are the things you pretty much need for any defence anyway so it's not much of an issue.

    Don't give a shite about these injuries anymore, they're pretty much part and parcel of what to expect.

    Come on dude, our attacking players, pretty much hang our defenders out to dry, and now with Kos and Mer as our two CB's, we are playing with fire playing a high line.

    We better hope RVP and Theo don't get hurt, cause our only chance this season is simply out scoring team, any team with a decent attack is gonna work us over.

    Our attackers shouldn't though, with a competent midfield and a little more work from our wingers it's very workable, especially against the smaller tems that sit back more, I'd like to see us sit deeper at times against the big teams as we did against Barca but in general it's fine. Incidentally, Kos is very well suited to this strategy actually, as he has decent recovery skills and reads the game well, Merts lack of pace could be an issue but as long as we stay organised he'll fit in fine.
