Despite creating very little yesterday, we have to keep Rosicky playing or maybe get Cazorla in the middle with Ramsey like how we played in the final 20 minutes of Everton. We looked so disjointed in the middle when Jack is playing and it's not a coincidence. Maybe Wenger should get him out on the wing if he needs games.

Thoughts on the piece overall....I get that we won the game and came away with 3 points. We should be happy with that. But we know our team and when we start to lose momentum you just know the wheels can come off at any minute and we start dropping silly points. I have serious doubts about us beating Utd next week which makes me really worried about the upcoming games after that. We're playing teams with a lot on the line and you have to wonder if we'v e got it in us to turn up. I can only hope Spurs bottle it and slip before we do.

It's possible the substitutions changed things, far more likely it was what we have seen so many times over the years - mental frailty, making it harder for ourselves than it ever has to be, stupid tactics (almost certainly that) and the rest. We had a lot of possession because Fulham were content to sit off and hit on the break which we seemed powerless to prevent. In the last 15 minutes it's not surprising they became a bit more adventurous, there's nothing to be gained from hanging on for a defeat.

Rosicky didn't have a particularly impressive game. But I wouldn't have taken him off at all, it would have been Giroud to go and Podolski up top. But Wenger's never going to make a sub like that because it's not part of the algorithm. In hindsight I'm glad we didn't take Giroud off because it would have avoided him picking up a ban. But you can't give Wenger credit for accidentally giving us a big boost going into the Utd match.

Other than that Arseblog seems to be saying, okay we're total shite but we've done pretty well considering how shite we really are. Fair enough but don't go charging those ticket prices then and keep PHW under lock and key when it comes to the annual round of boasting about financial performance.
