On this form there's no way we're getting a top 4 spot. Tottenham and Everton look much better teams and unless we make some top quality signings in January, I can see us playing Europa League football next season.

Personally, I would like to see Rosicky start in midfield to add a bit more drive and energy. He's good at carrying the ball forward and trying to link up with the forward players (his goal against Spurs last season a classic example) and that's what we need, rather than the conservative passing of Arteta who's not contributing enough.
Spot on! I said the other day that we are never going to get fourth, Spurs and Everton are much better sides with a drive for success. Wenger and the board will go at the end of the season! We only beat Newcastle because they run out of energy! More cracks papered over in that game !
