Cazorla is good, Cesc is great.
Michu scored two yesterday, straight swap for Cazorla?
Too direct for Arsenal.Quote:

Read the game so well at a you g age and was never caught in possession which is what we often see nowadays with Caz, Ramsey and Arteta. He never played passes that put his team mates under immediate pressure an always made himself available for a pass. Never want hiding or ducked his responsibility of controlling the tempo of the game. All this before he was in his 20s and belter he started banging in goals. It can't be underestimated how special he was. We now have Wilshere, Arteta, Cazorla and even with all three on the field they can't dictate the tempo of a game. Rosicky is the closest one but he's always out injured.Quote:

Spot on. Its not a coincidence since Diaby has been out the midfield has been woeful.Quote:

You can see the difference in the Champions League - home games we used to dominate and rack up good scores with Fabregas at the heart of it, we are now labouring and getting outplayed. The RVP factor was different but almost equally key, the way he was playing and the quality of goals he was scoring for most of last season was a godsend in an average team post-Fabregas.
Santiago is lovely to watch but has a lot to prove. I think we know Podolski's game by now. Good finisher but that's about it. Olivier Sex has been #decent but look at the boots he is filling. The lack of quality matchwinners and difference-makers is clear.
Never said he was :coffee:Quote:

problem with cazorla is he's knackered. the guy has played pretty much every game for us this season. at some point he'll need a rest but he wont get it with the run of fixtures we have in december/january and the lack of adequate cover. he's playing poorly because he's a lion surrounded by cubs. he cant do all the work himself when he has crap like ramsey playing near him. put him in a midfield of scholes, carrick, kagawa or oscar, hazard, mata and you'll see how good he is. 1 player can't carry a whole midfield.
squad depth exposed as early as november. that is shocking. what's worse is we could all see the diaby injury coming. the season derailed at that exact point and for £7m a year it shouldn't take a so-called genius to fail to predict it would have happened.
its neglecting the sole responsibility a so-called manager is supposed to have. you are supposed to manage the squad and ensure depth, quality, motivation, determination are all covered. when you cant do this, you are breaching your responsibilities. that deserves a hearing. why can the board not see this? why has it got to this?
conventional wisdom suggests jack shouldnt be playing as much as he is because he's coming back from a long term injury but we have no choice but to play him. its funny to see wenger retreating on the philosophies he built himself on. bringing on rosicky yesterday who hasnt played for 6 months when clearly the old wenger would have played him in the reserves a few times to build his fitness. risking jack in big games straight after a long term injury even though he needs to be slowly reintegrated. these are things wenger used to preach against doing but he is now doing out of pure desperation.
we're another serious injury away from jack having his career cut short. it's risk management at its worse. and when cazorla breaks down due to fatigue what will we do then? recall denilson? Lol
Denilson :bow:Quote:

What always impressed me about Denilson was his workrate, desire and winning attitude, you'd never see players running past him as he run's casually back without a care in the world, it's just not his way.
If we bring back Denilson he will be like a new signing.
Yes he is.Quote:

Selling Fabregas and RvC, LOL. And getting just a bit more in fees than the cost of Torres. LOL. And replacing neither of them. LOL. And then selling Song too. LOL. This is the stuff that laughing stocks are made of. The lumps on Sunday Supplement actually talked some sense this morning. You take RvC out of Utd's team and put him back at Arsenal and where would both clubs be now? Would it be crisis Utd and one man Arsenal? Utd are excelling at nicking games they fall behind in with RvC leading the way with goals. We are clueless in the top third. No club could survive the loss of its top talent season after season. We need to spend around £150mill to get back to where we were just a few seasons ago. A world class striker, a world class midfielder, a world class goalkeeper and two world class defenders. Maybe it's closer to £200mill then, at current market prices and wages. Seeing as that will never happen the only way is down.Quote:
