    I do like the look of

    Oxlade---Podolski---Walcott

    Just clip it to the corner flag and let England chase.

    Shame it'll never happen.

    I don't think Podolski is one of those who is going to look good when the team isn't playing well. So by definition a bit of a fairweather. When the team is playing well and creating chances, he's one of the likelier ones to score them. But obviously he doesn't have the skillset to make chances for himself. Maybe little bit illusionary efficiency. His tracking to help the left-back has gone downhill which is very poor. I would have my doubts over him succeeding upfront but it would mean only one of him and Giroud playing and that'd be good as they have no relationship whatsoever.

    If we want a goal scorer out on the left, I think we should be using Theo on the left so he cuts in. That's if we're not going to play him down the centre.

    He was anonymous at the Euros and has pretty much been non-existant to start the season. I expect more from someone who has the club and international experience he has. At least Giroud has been making himself very difficult for defenders when he is not scoring, cant say that much for Podolski. Very troubling to say the least.

    He's right, we should try him out centrally. Too many square pegs in round holes at the moment.

    Well, let's see what Wenger does about it. It's obvious he isn't suited out on the flanks for us and you could tell that from the early games. At least he has spoken up about it.

    I think Wenger is losing the dressing room.

    He's hampered at the moment by not having any support behind him.

    Gibbs compliments him, as he hugs the touchline rather than coming inside. Half the reason why he looks more competetent at fullback than Santos, who leaves so much room outside of him.

    He may well be more suited centrally, but if you don't have the players that can exploit his finishing, it's utterly pointless....just the same as playing to Giroud's strengths would be to get quality crosses in....which we don't.

    The problem, is entirely down to Wenger's philosophy of possession, and how best he feels the team is able to maintain it. And he will forsake a players best, and most natural traits in order to facilitate that.

    Lunatic.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Yep, I think Wenger is losing the dressing the room.
