Walcott continued his nice finishing, the only thing he needs to do is start showing up more consistently in the bigger games, other than that he gets far too much criticism. I thought that once Cazorla was operating down the middle we really started to put the pressure on them. I hope Wenger saw this and will consider playing him centrally more often. Giroud had a shocker and it is apparent we need help here, whether short or long term transfer. I didn't like Ozil's body language throughout the match, he was clearly frustrated with the finishing even though he fluffed a point blank chance himself. Our goal scoring options MUST be considered this transfer window if we want to be serious about the title. Newcastle will be a test but still think we can get a result against them. Win this one and our games against Chelsea/City wont seem to harsh.


    Sagna must be signed up ASAP!! He has been an absolute beast! Our most consistent performer this season alongside Per.
    Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..

    Was he moaning or was he just giving an opinion and you've leapt on it to have another pointless dig because, for now, you've not got much to moan about.
    Never mind, hopefully we'll lose tomorrow and you can have a good old moan then.

    Moaning, you wouldn't say that unless you thought you were being hard done by, he's got previous with regards complaining about the fixture list. Instead of looking at his squads failings he always deflects the heat onto something else.

    Tomorrow is a tough game now and given that so far we've done badly in those we need to get all 3 points which will be tough.

    "It has been a difficult period but mainly down to our schedule," Wenger said. "I completely think our schedule has been absolutely horrendous."

    Every manager in the league will bemoan their luck about fixtures. It's a non story.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Unless you have an anti-Wenger agenda...

    What he's said is true, it was a horrible run and we've got another one in March. That's the price of competing at the top level.

Aguero would knock anyone on his arse. I wouldn't call either a 'brute' because they both have too much footballing ability to be lumbered with that title.....but imo Suarez and Aguero have the strength of brutes.

    So yes. I think in the prem if you want to be amongst the best you do have to be a physical match for the CB's in the league. Not necessarily twice as strong as them to knock them out of your way like some oaf, but strong enough to hold them off, occasionally knock them off, give them the shoulder charge back and simply physical enough to fend them off whilst executing the technical things in your game.

    RvP, Rooney, Suarez, Aguero, Negredo, Lukaku, Giroud all have enough about them physically to be successes to greater or lesser extents.

    You have pretty much repeated my assertion about Reus. He starts from the left and he gets somewhat of a free role in his actual forward play, which fluent and fluid. SO tell me? Why actually play him from a different position to the one he plays so well from at Dortmund. I repeat, if this is his natural game and it works from where he has been so far (starting from the left), what is the actual need to start him at CF, where the emphasis and starting position changes as its proximity approaches the CB's?
    Why not lump Reus in there? Sure he doesn't have the same physique as say Suarez or Aguero but he has plenty of upper body strength, more in line with say Bale or RVP. We are just arguing over semantics here? You listed alternative players like RVP who has succeeded in PL, OK so Reus is like him then.

    I am not entirely clear on what your point is regarding Reus?
