Yeah agree completely, it was very apparent against Everton who countered with real pace, conversely we moved forward at a snails pace. Think it's time we brought in players who can stretch the opposition, we have a few but not enough IMO.Originally Posted by MOëL
Barcelone have the midfield to play the intricate passing but upfront they have explosive goal scorers with pace. Messi, Sanchez, Neymar and Pedro all love a run in behind.
We need players like that, at the moment we only have Theo who can do that and to a certain extent, Pod.
Don't make me laugh! When Walcott has a bad game you're not afraid to shit all over him and sometimes you just have to hold your hands up and say he's not having a great game! It's the same with Wilshere and that simple!
I'm very critical of Walcott, but he gave us what we needed yesterday. A bit of pace and some good finishing. Him starting against Chelsea is a no-brainer. As for playing Jack back into form - I see the logic in that IF we are playing for 4th as we were when we were attempting to play Ramsey into form.
(hands up here - I did not see the logic in playing Ramsey at the time)
But this season, we are still playing for something better than 4th, Jack needs to do something that earns back a starting place in the team imo.
Didn't say Wilshere had a good game, I'm talking about an agenda that seems to be building against him. It's reminiscent of the whole Ramsey thing where we were all wrong. Wilshere has shown enough in the past to suggest he can be a great player for us, let's not do a Ramsey on him. I wonder if with a bit more support Ramsey would have fought back even sooner? The media is shite, they aren't about reporting the last game, they are all about marketing the next one and the more hype they can generate the better for them. Fans don't need to be anywhere near that unless they want one of those bandwagons to start rolling when bullshit turns into reality simply because everyone is swallowing it. Wilshere is neither the savior of English football (media bullshit) nor is he crap as some would make out - they say he's "overrated" which is pretty much an admission they buy into the media hype in the first place. He's a decent young player with a ton of potential and hopefully he'll realise that potential here at Arsenal.
As for Walcott, difference with him is he tried to worm his way out. And he's been every bit as off-form as Ramsey in the past or Wilshere now. But if he's back and ready to do a shift for the team then great. He owes us big time and I'll be happy to see him deliver.
Für eure Sicherheit
And when Walcott was off form like Ramsey you were twisting the knife at every opportunity so it's very hypocritical to talk about support. You were critical before the contract talks so don't even try it.
How long is Aguero out for? Hamstring injury, wasn't it? A lengthy spell out may hamper Manchester City's chances.

Sometimes , it is good to accept defeat with dignity and avoid trying to lay a blame on anyone or looking for excuses . The game was lost and there is nothing we can do Today . The best thing is to move on and look forward to the Chelsea game .
We have a good squad that's why we are topping the table until now . They had and a bad game Yesterday and we have to accept it .

DO NOT POSTPONE TODAY'S DUTY FOR TOMORROW .IT MAY BE TOO LATE .
Assuming it is the least possible time out, he'll miss three games for them probably, four including the game against Leicester.
However we'll have Vermaelen and Mertesacker together which is the death partnership a la Koscielny/Squillaci.
It's not just hype in the media, there's hype on this place as well, as I said before I don't really see the fuss, he's a good player but I haven't seen anything that's blown me away on the pitch, in addition he doesn't behave very professionally.
I personally think he believes the hype about himself, I also don't really like the free ride he gets.
