Lukas Podolski Thread

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Not his first, certainly won't be his last. How much does he actually get right these days?

Well it is right. You can't play him up top when Giroud and Theo don't want to be there. He is only being played where he always has been.

Poldi has been shite people need to stop hiding behind he has been played in the wrong place rubbish. Tell it for what it is.

I know, but you have to admit that Gervinho was far more effective down the wings compared to Podolski. But Wenger has lost his mind and thinks he can turn him into a 30 goal a season striker. It's worrying to think that he sold RVP and had Gervinho in mind as his replacement. Giroud was on the bench for a while and had to flaw his way into the team and we don't play his strengths either.

TBH mate never wached the game for some strange reason. And yeah it seems Wenger has flipped his lod, which is why i think he'll be gone in the summer.

But i Poldi has been poor and i just think it don't matter where we played him he still would have been poor.

But yeah Gev is not a striker don't play him as one.

That is the best freudian slip of all time.

Lukas Podolski remains adamant that stuttering Arsenal can rescue their Premier League campaign - despite only winning five of their opening 15 games.

The 27-year-old Germany international believes it is possible for Arsene Wenger's side to ignite their season and close the gap on the leading pack, but insists they must start improving away from home.

He told the Daily Express: "Right now we don't speak about the title because we are 15 points behind."But football is very quick and you win three or four matches and another loses two or three matches and you are in.

"We have more than 20 matches to go. When you are sixth or seventh in the table, people say you are not so good, or what has happened to Arsenal? When you play 38 matches then you can see.

"We have played a lot of away games where we were the better team but we only got one point. These are the kind of matches that we want to win. We will do this."

The former Cologne star feels he has settled into life in north London well - scoring seven goals in 17 games from the wing.

Although Podolski remains happy with his role, he has made it clear his best position is down the middle.

He said: "I think I have done well but I don't like to speak about me. There are fans who say, 'Podolski score goals, score goals'. But I play on the left side and you must keep tracking back and this is different.

"My best position is in the middle and if I am asked to play there I can do it. I feel comfortable on the left side and I think we won't change now with the system.

"Arsene Wenger is a good coach, he has authority and straight away I can see he helps players with small things to make them better."

Well yeah we can rescue it as we're only 2 points behind and the fight for the top 4 has been pretty poor so far, in another season we'd be a long way behind based on our performance so far.

I hope the fact we're so close to 4th place doesn't stop us investing in January as I think that would be a big mistake.

Yeah can't use the played out of place excuse for him surely not. Tbf we were warned he was lazy and it showed again.

All he does is talk big abit winning the league gets on the pitch and does the opposite.
