We are indeed a beautiful pub team these days. No.9 heading in goals, 'Well-worked corners', Ramsey picking a fight for no reason, players like Arteta that do nothing but 'get the job done'....we are a Frimpong away from domination.

We need a big leg breaking, knuckle dragging, racist, shaven headed, not that kind of lad type central defender though.Originally Posted by Syn
When do you start playing?
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
Being German and all that, Mertesacker has got potential.
Santos is currently the most English player we have though. I reckon he'll be raking his studs down a few calves when he's too fat to deal with the poncy winger.
I'm not racist!!
Oh...
They need more goals and assists. Goals especially. We are heavily dependent on RVP right now and that's noise coming from
coming from our own camp. I get the feeling this team would suffer a knock of confidence if he picked up an injury.
It's a team effort but besides RVP, all of our attackers are a bit hit and miss. They're setting up goals but RVP's movement off the ball can't be underestimated. He's making the right sort of runs and that's important. Bring in Chamakh we'd see a huge difference. He'd be dropping too deep and passing at every opportunity instead of shooting. Not so sure about Park, but he's had a couple of quiet games and I'm guessing the team would need time to figure out his movement and runs.
We've still got a way to go and we need the rest to start hitting their stride and playing with confidence and consistency. We're solid at the moment, but still not there yet. As Wenger said, it can take one game for a team to lose all confidence and many games to build it back up. I just hope RVP doesn't get injured anytime soon because that's the one blow that could completely mess with our confidence. It wasn't just the Invincible team that carved teams open, i remember incredible attacking displays some years back when we'd have Cesc, Ade, Hleb and Rosicky on fire. Champions League nights when we'd bury teams even Carling Cup nights where the kids would get in on the act. Games where we'd play so well, we're trying to set up a hat trick for someone and we're stringing together stunning one touch passes. Samba type football. We're not there yet. And I'm not just talking about the style of play or thrashing teams, i'm talking about the confidence that flowed through the team and players having the audacity to try certain things. I'm getting carried away.
We used to play some stunning stuff but it agent stale somewhere down the line. probably after the Ade and Gallas fiasco. We're looking better now but we need a couple more players to hit the sort of form RVP is on because we used to have teams where two or three players were red hot. Still got a way to go.
and we won't see that type of football again. the experience he has bought in means a lot more discipline across the two lines so the football will be more functional at times, combined with our ability to attack well, which is what we've been crying out for.
Park seemed to link up well with Arshavin. Which says to me, he's an intellegent player.
Arshavin is often too quick thinking for most of our team.
But he is also fat.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
I very much doubt that because Wenger's philosophy on football hasn't changed. The longer the team play together, the better the understanding and movement gets. That's what happened with the Invincible team. It just evolved into Total Telepathy. The Cesc era had those moments as well. Wenger still believes in the beautiful game and in time this team will develop their own rhythm but hopefully, we're more solid. This is a brand new team and we're just getting starter. His job is to make sure we're hard to beat.

It's actually quite exciting
