    Everyone has to drop so deep to get involved, leaves us nothing for when we eventually get forward. The one thing I thought Wenget always had a handle on - how to build an attack, has gone.

    It's not the individual players that are the problem.

    It's the style of play and the way they go about it.

    Cazorla is getting the same 'he's shit' treatment which is way off the mark IMO.

    They are both good players along with giroud, but they aren't being utilised correctly and they have plenty of average dogshit around them that can't provide them with what they need to be of any use.

    If we set the team up around these three and played in a 4-4-2, we'd be seeing a much better game from them.

    Also it doesn't help that they've got a twat in charge and a dressing room that is on the brink of civil war.

    Its not that he does not play very well he does not even try, he is played where he has played all his career so you can't use that excuse. He has been poor and we need to accept that. not let him and Santi get away with it.

    Players have to be accountable if not. no point them even going out to play.

    He was doing fine when he first got here, full of fight and trying as much as he could, same with Santi.

    Do you think they have suddenly been found out as shit players?

    Not a chance. This is just further proof that there are major problems in the dressing room. If we played fast counter attacking football, these two would be having a field day. They just aren't used to this slow, sideways passing, plodding shit that they are being told to play now.

    I was very dubious when we signed him pre-season, my concern was how can such a good player not be on the radar of Citeh, Cheslki or Man Ure. Perhaps their scouts had seen enough to say he was passed his best, it just troubles me when a so called talented player signs for Arsenal and there is no competition from the above 3 clubs. It seems as though we have seen the best of Podolski.

    He's not very good tbh. Has no pace so cannot play as a striker and doesn't have the skill on the ball to get involved much with the build up play. Just an average player of which we have so many.

    I don't know why any of you expected much from him, what exactly has he done at the club level(not international level, which is shit) to warrant any expectations?

    Oh no, apparently he has always played on the wing, throughout his entire career in fact.

    He isn't a forward at all, he is a winger.

    He was shit at Bayern and shite at the Euro's, Berti Vogts warned us he was lazy and has been proved right. Stop making excuses for the players, we tell Wenger not to, so we should stop being hypocrites.

    He playes on the left in a front 3 not at left back. End of the day he goes missing for most of games has nout to do with where he is played.
