Pretty much, as soon as Diaby was taken out, we lost a lot of legs in midfield. Arteta and Cazorla are great but they have no legs to compete with more athletic Chelsea's midfield. :coffee:Quote:

Diaby can't kick a ball without getting injured. Not his fault I suppose, but just a fact of life. So get rid of him and get a player in that can kick a ball without getting injured. This seems sensible.
No point starting a game with a player who has a 70% chance of not lasting the first half. He should only play COC games until he has become whole again. He is a waste of a place, sad but true.
Totally right. Ridiculous of Wenger to get rid of Song on the basis that Diaby would be a more-than-adequate replacement. Another example of AW having lost the plot completely.Quote:

ignorant prick, taking gambles and treating us like your toy. relying on a player who's played 20 games in about 5 years to help us through the season. and now we're relying on a player who's been out for 14 months to take his place.
how he's able to get away with things like this every year is a joke. £20m in the bank and we're taking naive gambles. you'd think using up 9 lives by getting through a whole season with only van persie as the striker would trigger some sort of precautionary action but this knob takes the same risks again.
forget jimmy savile, we have our own joke act here.
Thigh muscle strain. Back 20th Oct (along with Szczesny and Rosicky).Quote:

rubbish. he's taken too many gambles over the years and its cost us too many times.
everyone could see diaby getting injured a mile off.
Whilst you have to gamble to succeed, relying on someone like Diaby was just madness.

True, im assuming Francis Coquelin was in his plans too, as well as Jack coming back. Not saying he should have gambled on Diaby, but i doubt he did not buy just cause of Diaby.Quote:

Presumably, the 'gamble' was selling Song. If it was, I don't think its affected us. We are mob-handed in midfield.
I don't think selling a lazy crackhead is that much of a gamble really.

if arteta replaces song then we're still one man down in midfield.
Even though we have numbers in midfield I'm not sure we have the depth. Wengot spoke about the lack of physical players in our midfield after this latest injury. We know we were in for Sahin, and reportedly Cabaye late in the window, so there is (or was) at least an acknowledgement that despite the numbers, we might lack little bit super quality.
My fear now is that we run Arteta and Cazorla into the ground (red zone injuries ahoy). Diaby is out for 3 weeks minimum, and I'm not sure I want to see Ramsey in anything other than a Yossi Benayoun role. If we lost either of Aterta or Carzola as well, shit could really get real.
Still amazes me how he can get injured by kicking a ball.
Wtf?
He needs to go
Dont worry guys.. Rosicky will take his place! :lol:
legitimate argument.Quote:

and we're also an arteta injury from finishing outside the top 4. which angers me more- we rode our luck with van persie last season yet wenger has taken the same chances and is willing to make the same mistakes.
Oup Coq can fill that hole.
Legitimate point - but its the old issue of not being able to keep top players happy on the bench. My guess would be that AW sees Coquelin ready to step up to DM. Clearly, he's regarded as a first team player now. Frimpong is also back up.Quote:

After all, we have a wage bill to manage as well - not to mention that Wilshere will basically play in the same space (albeit a different type of player). Ramsey can also play there.
Attacking-wise, Jack could be used higher up the pitch to save Carzola. Rosicky and Arshavin can also deputise - in fact I would like to see the latter player in the Carzola role.
