Match Reaction vs Swansea (away).

[Power n Glory]

Welbeck on the wing doesn't work for me. He'll work hard to defend but he's like a blunt knife on attack. Ox is a lot better on attack and dangerous when he gets going but not that good on defence and it has costs us.

With Campbell, we have a player that's sharp on attack and willing to work for the team. Best of both worlds. He still has a lot to work on but I wouldn't reserve that right wing for Ox or Welbeck when they still have a lot to prove themselves. Some about these South/Central Americans. They work their socks off.

Great result and one that sends out a statement that we are ready to challenge for the title. Love the celebrations from Giroud & Kos, pure passion!

As others have said we got the rub of the green in the first half, but second half we opened them up and played at quite a high level.

Happy for Joel Campbell, I hadn't written him off but I had severe doubts about him, seems he played well in the second half and he took his goal really well.

Really pleased with our current form, we have been doing very well.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Well I don't base my doubts on Campbell on this one game, where he was decent but more on his record so far, where he's been third choice in that position and only thrown on with the kids or when we're chasing a game and we've got no one else to turn to. I just don't think Wenger rates him.

Mind you, Wenger didn't rate Coquelin at the start of last year though he usually is a better judge of attacking players.

Honestly, I think the only reason he didn't get sold in the summer was because the club knew that Welbeck's injury was a lot worse than initially reported.

[I am invisible]

Didn't really see much of the game, but it sounds like Campbell is playing it smart, and concentrating on working hard for the team, rather than showing off (too much) and trying to make an instant name for himself? That's the right move for me - individual brilliance is all well and good, but first and foremost Wenger is going to be looking for someone who 'fits', and the easiest way to immediately show that is on the defensive side of things. Ultimately, he'll need to show that he's on the same wavelength on the offensive side too, but getting that instinctive understanding with the other attackers can take a little longer, and he could easily end up looking the odd man out if that's what he focusses on...

[Power n Glory]

I just think Wenger expects fringe players to be patient, wait for an opportunity and play well when called upon. Campbell signed a new deal so he could have let him go last year. I think a lot depends on the players willingness to wait for their opportunity and not ask to leave when frustrated. Coquelin is one example but you also have Bellerin. Opportunity came about through injury. I don't think it's a case of him not rating them.

From what i've seen from his spells in Greece and playing for Costa Rica, Campbell is very direct and has got good skills and a decent shot, he offers something different and in my eyese would definitely be above Wellbeck who I don't think is much kop.

Hope Campbell gets a shot as I think he could become a valuable asset for us if he gets one. If we're not going to sign anyone, we need players like him to come through and give us an edge.

I also think Campbell showed more in this game than OX has done all season. This isn't an attack on OX because I like him as a player but he should be putting in performances like Campbell did on Saturday if he wants a real crack at securing a spot in the First team.

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell has put in several dire performances too. He played well on Saturday but he needs to keep doing that so he makes a proper claim for a starting spot when the injuries ease up. This isn't like the Coquelin situation because Campbell is going to have a whole bunch of competition and unless he grabs the spot in the next couple of games he's unlikely to get a run in the team thereafter.

It's worth noting that Wenger sees him in training every single day. He did play well but let's not go overboard about him.

he played well but this season in the two COC games he was diabolical. Now i except it is much easier to play in a team with ozil, sanchez and cazorla then a team with 4 under 18s making a debut, but still he didn't show anything against championship opposition and spurs. Same last year in the cup games.

Theres been a reason why he hasn't played much and thats because so far he has only had one good performance for us and that was saturday, if he takes his chance then great, wed all be delighted but I'm not convinced by him.
