Revealing stuff from Wenger on Walcott:
Shows Wenger is thinking what we are saying and it's understandable he won't come out and say as much at the time. It's just a relief to know he sees it though."Theo has been struggling because we make him work very hard but he has become a more complete player today," said Wenger. "He is not a liability any more, defensively. He does his defensive job. At the start that makes you heavy-legged when you win the ball back, and he went through a period when he was working so hard defensively he did not have the resorurces to go forward, but now he has got used to it.
Which means he should get a right slapping for Denilson.
Für eure Sicherheit
The reality is, we’re still considered a very shaky team and one performance against Chelsea won’t suddenly change opinions about the squad. We beat Chelsea last season in a very convincing fashion but managed to stumble against Wigan in the next game. Our title hopes have been written off and until we put together a serious solid run and start putting other teams to the sword, then maybe opinions will start to sway in our favour. Nobody takes us seriously anymore. We’re not the force we once were but hopefully that will change soon.
I do have a concern that we were on the right side of these thin lines we keep hearing about on Saturday, it could have been very different if Chelsea weren't, well, a bit shit.
We need to ensure we are hammering teams in a constant fashion and not taking our foot off the pedal, the main concern is that Ramsey cant play like a man possessed week in week out, i think we will rotate most of the team against Marseille and we all know what happened last year when we started that shit
on a serious point though, its not just one result is it. we have now won 8 of our last 9 games. sure the chelsea game was probs the best performance of the lot, but we are winning now, winning late as well, stoke, sunderland, chelsea etc. this team is fighting its socks off to get us back in the race for 4th. credit due where credit due and that is to Arsene. he takes the flak with the shit start but he has turned it around
