If we try to play them on the counter or try to create overloads when in possession, we may get some use out of Theo.
Some of that footage is over 200 years old. It's been a long time since Theo last had a decent game. Partly his fault, mostly Wenger's fault. Our whole game has changed. When we got the ball forward quickly it naturally suited Theo's pace. With this plodding shit we now play the game doesn't move fast enough for him to be effective. That's why he's so static, that's why his back is to goal, that's why he lays the ball off so much. Horrible tactics based around possession we hardly ever do anything with. If you're hoping we go out and play a different game, that we up the tempo and try to hit the chavs hard and fast whenever the opportunity arises, rather than fucking around with the tippety tap, of course I'm with you. That's all I've ever wanted to see. How often do we see it?

What we'll most likely get is an even slower tempo with Wenger complaining post match about the fixture pile up. We can live in hope, in fact as Arsenal fans that's all we can do.
