Match Reaction - Farmer Giles and the Gang 1-1 Arsenal

[LDG]

There are no standout teams - we don't have a Barca or a Bayern in the English league. We should have with the money City and Chelsea can throw around but our best teams are nowhere near as good as the best teams in Germany and Spain. But we do have more depth in England which potentially makes the league more interesting.
Either way, somehow we're still in the mix. We made a hash of the last 2 league games, we can't keep doing that but win the next 2 and we'll face City with the chance to leapfrog them. If we win the next 3 then things will look a lot rosier.

With no Alexis, Cazorla, Koscielny, Walcott or Coquelin.

Hmm. Forgive me if I'm slightly pessimistic of achieving that.

We don't need any of those players to win the next 2.
They'd come in handy for the City game though, obviously. I'm not sure how badly we've broken him

Yeah, I think the league is more competitive here than in say Spain or Germany but...the top teams in England are now miles behind our equivalents in Spain, and to a lesser degree Germany, well Bayern and Dortmund given their form this season are better than anything we have to offer and by some distance. I think the top end teams in PL are as weak as they were many years ago when PL teams struggled in Europe.
Of course we are in the mix for the title, but so are Leicester, Spurs and Liverpool, along with the Manchester clubs. I don't think the fact we are in the mix is a sign of progress, it's a sign of how inconsistent many teams have been this season.

You are joking right?

We fucked up the last two with (most of) them.

And smashed Dinamo in between who are better than either.
There's no logic to football results a lot of the time.

Have a think about the probable starting 11 with all the injuries. On paper it should smash Sunderland and Villa.
Whether it will...well, who knows.

Chech

Bellend Merts Gabriel Monreal

Flamini

Ox Ramsey Ozil Campbell

Giroud




Defence is ok, but Midfield (Ozil aside) stinks, and Giroud is woefully off form.

That side should still be beating Sunderland and Villa.
Whether they will...

Villa yes because they are shocking and off form, I would like them to stay up but will be stunned if that happens. If we don't score a couple against them then there are real problems. Sunderland though have won 3 out of 4 or something and have Alladyce in charge so will be difficult to beat and that could easily be 1-1.
