    We've been outplayed by Fulham and Swansea on the spin, although I do think having no fullbacks has ruined us, we've still been in winning positions until crumbling like only we can. It's a fairly limited squad that lacks something special, it needs investment, real investment that is, not selling RVP and use 1/4 of those funds.

    Absolutely. Arsene’s never been particularly strong tactically, even in his more successful days.

    And he’s never been the quickest to change tactics. Hell, the team is still set up to get the best out of Cesc in the middle!!

    Injuries aside there is nothing wrong with our squad, in fact i am very happy with the way its ended up taking everything into account.

    I don't think Theo And RvP will renew their contracts if we don't finish in the top 4 which will be the loss of one good player.

    Yeah, not excusing the result, was more of a general musing!

    We gave away possession far too cheaply yesterday. In fact, I’m struggling to remember the last time we really bossed a game in midfield from start to finish. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread (sorry, can’t remember who!) some of these players aren’t as “technically gifted” as they’re often given credit for, particularly some of the fringe players.

    Decent investment is now crucial, but I just can’t see it happening.

    Also shows just how much we miss Arteta or at least someone who can play the way he does

He is far better than Benayoun now and at 20 ,he was much better than what Ramsey is . Did you know the little Mozart ?

    Not personally but he was definitely so much better than he is now. I still think he offers nothing now. And his shooting is so far below average.

    I think you're quite wrong there. I think if he'd started the result could have been different. He's very intelligent with his use of the ball and rarely squanders possession. Something we badly lacked without Arteta in the side.

    Agreed.

    We held the ball far better in midfield when he came on.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    He was out injured.
