What concerns me more than anything is this team seems to have gone back to the Arsenal of last season prior to our decent run, I don't know if it's because we are playing decent opposotion but we just look so toothless.

Upfront isn't our only issue either, we are beginning to see problems in Central Midfield again. Moreover Ozil who is suppose to be our star man has been absolutely woeful in the games against City and Chelsea, weak, immobile and afraid to make decisions.

Forget the title, we have a huge battle on our hands to finish top 4 IMHO, it's getting that tight.
I hate that the warm feeling of a month or so has leached away - but it has. Citeh; the Chavs, even Manure will get better - and Liverpool seem to be moving through the gears and have the best striker in the league. Before the season began you'd have said we'd be fighting for fourth - even with our record in 2013. Nothing we've seen so far this season suggests any different. Ozil's underwhelmed hugely, for me.
