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

[Power n Glory]

Careful. Those veins in your neck will let go any minute now
You remind me of Cripps. Walcott love was his greatest flaw.

Even you should be able to figure out that there is a vital component Walcott brings to this team. Something Giroud lacks but what our most successful strikers under Wenger had. Speed and mobility. Without that we's never have beaten Bayern or Man Utd. Try to understand what I'm saying here even if we disagree on Walcott being the solution. Don't bring up a useless stat that blurs the argument and ignores the fact that we haven't been the same team since his injury.

Walcott is good (not great) and we can do better. My problem with Walcott is that he is hardly ever fit, and I am tired of the club gambling so much on crocks. Another person who I think is a great player is Rosicky, but what is the point of him? He has hardly made any significant impact over a season for us. I'd rather we get rid of crocks like Walcott, Wilshere and Rosicky and invest in people who can stay fit for 10 games at a stretch!

Theo being a long term solution up front is debatable but what should be clear is that we need to start bringing in strikers with pace. Go back to what we used to have in players like Wright, Anelka, Henry or even Ade.

The injury situation is ridiculous. I’m not sure clearing out the ‘injury prone’ players is the best way either because I think Wenger’s regime is the problem. Wilshere is a clear example. He picked up an injury on international duty, we misdiagnosed the extent of the problem and let him play on, it got worse and we found he’d actually been playing with broken bones! To make matters worse, we rush him back from that injury and he then picks up another injury. And we don’t learn from this because we’ve done the same with Ramsey recently. We’ve done it with Cesc. We’ll probably rush Sanchez back. It’s a serious problem and one we’ll continue to have as long as Wenger is here. He refuses to take responsibility for our injury problems. He’s practically blaming Sanchez for making himself available to play.
