I'm unconvinced by our defence and have been all season to be honest, people reckon it's got better and yet we concede plenty of goals and make errors all the time, that doesn't constitute a good defence for me. Yes Man U concede a lot but they have an amazing attack, we have neither and need to improve in both areas IMO.
The team is a mess right now and it totally contradicts Wenger's words about our supposed quality, I don't remember an Arsenal team who didn't have a good defence or good attack.
Oh our defending is woeful, thats for sure and it needs to improve, but its our attack that has sucked ass and the reason we are, where we are .Like you say had we brought JKH in the summer, we be in a much better position then we are now. Our attack had always been our best defence anyways, now we don't even have that.
in a league full of shit defending, somehow we seem to have the least 'shittest' of the lot. somehow. that is worth something. i mean, that +13 goal difference is way higher than any of those immediately around us (even better than chelsea) and could prove invaluable come may.
Why?
What are the chances we'll finish level on points with another team? It might happen in midtable but rarely at the business end
i'm sure utd thought the same last season. look, i'd rather have a superior goal difference than not. it is also an indicator that we are not being completely woeful at the back, which counts for something. i mean seriously, where's the harm in having something else that could help us in the end?
We are shit at the back regardless of GD tbh
Obviously we'd rather have a positive GD but Everton got 4th a few years back with a negative GD.
