post match reaction v Swansea

[milla]

Rosicky was nothing short of magnificent for us last season. Consumate professional, made a telling contribution, and really took on the mantle after Jack's absence to injury.

It's quite ironic really because by benching Tomas, AW's doing the very thing he can't bear to do- 'kill' players.

Bringing Rosicky would kill Ramsey's footballing career.

Don't know why Arteta didn't close Graham down for their equaliser.

Thanks, I couldn't be bothered watching this - wnt out for a lunchtime curry instead. Far more satisfying these days.

God awful defending for the Swansea equaliser. They had all the space and time required to score 5 goal off that set piece.

Or better yet, we shouldn't have sold the worlds best (by a mile) striker. Especially for pennies.


Thats what selling clubs do.

Oh no, I agree we should sell all our best players. Makes perfect sense if you want to be a top, top club. It's the pennies I have the problem with. I think we could have got more. And we could have used the extra money to not buy decent players.

Silly stuff but surely he knew he would be played ina strange position when he signed?

Not really, he was signed to cover for Wilshere. Don't know why the inference here is that this is the player's fault: it's wenger being a mong again for thinking Arteta is an adequate replacement once song left.

Most important signing we could make this month is a proper defensive midfielder. We may need to sacrifice a bit of technical ability for some consistency and solidity in midfield.

He's playing out if position. A Spanish technician being used as a DM. Silly stuff but surely he knew he would be played ina strange position when he signed?

u r better than this, N_Q.

Sorry, missed the sarcasm

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like I picked the wrong week to take up sarcasm. Of course it's Wenger's and the money grabbing board leeches faults we sell a proper DM and replace with a non DM. But you have to consider, if we had replaced Song with quality then Ramsey would never get a start, and nothing good could come from that.

Arteta was a very good player at Everton and I still believe he is at Arsenal . But playing him out of position in a team which love playing attacking football without a proper defensive midfielder is suicidal .
We want to emulate Barcelona in our play but we are missing a very important point of Barca game . Barca always play with one or two defensive midfielders . That 's why they always regain possession when they lose it .Unlikely us who always create panic and pressure in our defense once we lose possession . We can't break up any threat and we can't regain possession : A Good defensive midfielder is a must in this transfer window .

I have zero faith in wumger as a managger anymore. It doesnt really matter who he buys, he will find a way to reduce their talent to the clump football we see today. that said I hope he does buy players who make a difference because right now we are haeding for a likely 6-8th place.
