Match Reaction vs Man City (away).

[Master Splinter]

Joe Hart throws one in every other week and remains world class.

The answer is never.

Because they are utter fuckwits.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A lot.

I get weird looks at work when I suggest that Koscielny is better than Kompany.

Why do you work there?

Do you work at the Etihad?

Yeah Coq is starting to make a real claim for a regular spot in the starting XI, today he was immense, he was very good last week against Stoke too. It's still early days but his emergence is very similar to Flams in his first spell here.

We still need a new DM but Coq should be kept on as squad material, especially if he keeps on performing like this.

Edited to add: These are Coq's stats today...

Selassie , my friend , would you bench Coquelin with such performance and buy another DM ? What does Francis have to do to convince you he can be the man ?
If you sign a new DM , he will need time at least 2 years to get used the the EPL . By that time , Coquelin would has been a top DM . Why not sign a DM to help the Coqu out but keep him on the pitch for his progress . The Coq is not a big name but he is doing more that the so called big names .
Can you see that ?

Alpha, on current form Coquelin gets in the team, in fact the first XI pretty much picks itself. The kind of DM we should be looking at is someone like Schneiderlin, he's not really a DM in the purest sense but I feel he would fit well into our team and is PL ready, I also think he would seamlessly make the step up to CL.

If Coquelin continues to produce great performances then that's great for him and the team. We shouldn't be waiting to see if Coquelin can sustain this performance we should be in the market for the best available player in this position, competition is what we need, it creates a higher level of performance. Look at Santi as an example, he knows he has his work cut out with Ozil & Ramsey now back, but look at his current performance level, he along with Sanchez is the first name on the teamsheet. Ozil has his work cut out getting back in the team.

Totally agree with you , Selassie . We should sign another experienced DM . Even an injury-prone Kedhira will do for me but we shouldn't neglect our own product when they give 100% top performance simply because they are not big names yet .
I like Scheiderlin myself . We have been liked to him in the past along other top DM like the Bender brother , Kramer ..etc..but we are not sure if , once at Arsenal they would be the same player . I remember Arteta at Everton he was so good but since he moved he is just an average squad player .
Coquelin is just like Flamini at his prime . He shouldn't fuck it up as we did last time .
Give him time and confidence and he will grow into a top player . He will have some bad days like any other player as we saw Aguero today . But he fully deserves his chances . I wouldn't complain if he becomes our main DM . He has shown he can play against small teams , dirty teams and big teams . He has 100% of my vote for that position .

Santi is in great form for us and is playing the best football of his Arsenal career. The way he skips past challenges and gets out of tight situations is just a joy and the most pleasing thing is he is getting goals and assists. I just hope wenger doesnt move him outwide to accomodate Ozil because we look dangerous with him through the middle.

2 clean sheets in a row now, something to build on.
