That's a problem. Do we have a DM that can do that in the squad? Also, what do we do if that DM is unavailable as we're seeing now?Quote:

Decent result, didn't see the match but it seems it wasn't a good performance from what people say, it's the away games where we're more likely to struggle however.
You couldn't be more wrong, we've just had a big laugh at Wenger and his cronies, it was a blast!Quote:

Good stuff from Bif today, he had to fight for everything on his own because the two in the middle did fuck all for him and Ox and Theo were nowhere. Ozil way too good for this bunch, seems to be the only player who can retain the ball. Kos was okay too, having to do his job and Mertesacker's.
Wenger outclassed tactically by Schteve, embarrassing. When's he going to find some balls and lay down the law to Ramsey? Ramsey wanted a start in the middle, he has it and now he wants to be Ozil. Time for him to buckle down and work for the team.
Cech won us a game in which we were second best for most of the 90. At home. Against Newcastle.
We pubbed the 3 points but this team, with its lack or organisation and continuing failure to appreciate the opposition and react based on in-game events, is always one slip away from a Southampton style calamity. Fortunately we're the least shit team in the league this season.
Some very, very poor performances out there today, the ref for one. But Theo sticks in the mind.
Can we continue to slog our way to a title? Looking at the opposition, we could. It won't be pretty and it's a shame because we are all aware how well this team can play.
Oh, and Letters has started the year with a bang. Two threads and both his initial contributions designed to start arguments.
Sorry. I forgot that's your job.Quote:

I can't see Arteta, Flamini and Rosicky lasting beyond the end of this season, I don't think Wenger likes playing Ramsey there, Wilshere is becoming little more than a bonus when he's fit, but is no one you can count on, and Cazorla is in his 30s and has just ruptured his knee ligaments - that doesn't mean he's finished, but it's something we may have to manage from this point on? Bringing Mo in is a start, but I can see us needing a second addition in CM before that start of next season...
Or the right formation? He'd probably work a lot better in a 433 than a 4231.Quote:
