Quality wise, Song has everything.
He just smokes weed before every game so it's lottery as to what performance we'll get from him.

12:45 kickoffs are shit - depression hits earlier, longer until the kids go to bed and you can raid the drinks cabinet to go coma. Fucked up 12:45 kickoffs. Isn't there a cup final on today at some point? Might slash my wrists and squirt blood all over that.
Song needs someone sane next to him. It's not a balanced midfield otherwise. He and the centre-backs are clearly employed in a big way for their ability going forward. It's fine, but the midfield will just tend to empty and get easily bypassed without a sane head in there. We can't say we haven't seen the upside of it - look at Song's passes to Van Persie and Vermaelen's record of scoring important goals. But a common theme of most of our defeats at the Emirates is how the midfield all become sucked in to the same areas, notably against Man Utd on the counterattack a couple of seasons back. Today was just far too easy. The centre-backs were left in lots of one-on-one situations and actually did well to limit the number of shots on goal. The system demands a lot from them.
Wouldn't be surprised if Ox is our DM next season. Think of the craziest fucked up possibilities and then add a special surprise factor.
All this scrambling for CL football is a nonsense anyway. It disguises the fact that we are not competitive in the PL and haven't been for years. Tbh a year out of the CL and rid of Wenger would be a result now.
The bottle is on!! :bow:Shoking really. Got ourselves back into it, then panicked. Ah well. Always next season.
