Looks like things are back to normal, ah well it was good while it lasted.
We seem to have gone from people thinking everything had changed defensively to them thinking we're no better than usual.
It always a good idea to wait to see how things pan out in a season before jumping to conclusions on whether things have changed.
I personally don't see how losing 2 1st teamers and bringing in 3 (only 2 of which are really proven) can suddenly make us a lot better, especially when one of the players we lost was one of the best forwards around.
We didn't invest enough in the summer and in the end it'll cost us just like it always does.
We just don't have a great attacking player, to offset that, we need better collective play, there was no cohesiveness today. Seems like this squad still hasn't gel yet.
And also, I keep harping on this, but we better contribution from our fullbacks in the attack, they see too much off the ball, to not be able to produce something.
This. Once Wenger never spent that money we were fucked anyways.
Spot on, although we were not as bad as the chavs, the diffrence in quality showed. If we bought a llorente he puts away that chace Giroud did not. You buy a replacement for Song, he does what needs top be done. Its not about Selling players, its about replacing them with quality and it showed.
We may be lucky enough to go and win the CC, but if we want to win the league, we have to have better players for the whole season.
