Match Reaction vs Tottenham (home, FA Cup).

Exactly, the guy is going to be a world beater. He has it all: the vision, the skill, the technique, the attitude and the strength. I've said it before but playing him and Theo on either wing would make a devasting combination. He'd be starting weekly for any PL team outside of us, Man City and Chelsea - he'd certainly walk into United's midfield right now.

Low needs to cap him immediately as he's still eligable to play for the Ivory Coast through his father. They're not going to waste any time trying to tap him. Hopefully Mertesacker, Podolski and Ozil will have a word with Low during the next International break.

.....and why should it matter to you whether he plays for Germany or Ivory Coast. are you German?

Don't know what state Ox will be in after his injury. I'm not expecting anything from him this season. Perspective: while the system we had yesterday worked from defence to attack, it was just one game against two lightweight CBs, 4 man midfield compared to our 5. I'm also interested to see more of Theo upfront and more of Gnabry, but things might well be different in a trickier games, or even in a bigger sample size than 1. Wenger clearly likes the big man upfront with Theo playing off him. And if we're being fair it's a method that has been getting results for quite some time now.

True indeed but you can see we're starting to run out of gas and ideas with the what we have been playing recently.

We've won our last four games, amd currently top the league. What ideas are we running out of?

Not so sure, I think we've been playing like we have through the whole of 2013. Apart from a couple of really fluent performances (against Napoli and Liverpool, say) we're mostly about being efficient and getting the wins even if it's not pretty. That's just the sort of team we are now. But I think the best thing this game would've done is give Wenger more confidence to trust playing Walcott upfront for another game if Giroud is unfit or off form, and certainly more confidence to play Gnabry more. So with more players impressing it just gives him more options. That said, Wenger's the one who put him into the first team squad from 2012 so he must really rate him anyway.

Our strikers are injured for starters.....we're gonna have to switch things up.

I'm also thinking about the Cardiff game and how late we left that plus Giroud's lack of goals.

It's good to see we have more options instead of seeing players like Wilshere and Ramsey playing on the flanks. I think Wenger will trust Gnarby with a few more games or at least I hope so if we're lacking options from wide.
