Positives: Giroud, Theo, Better attacking display, Kos, Chez is back (He could have saved the two headers), Rosicky is back (That extra movement and creative flair), Rumors Gibbs will be back for NLD, didn't lose (Fulham are decent), SJW is back Negatives: Panicked after 1st goal, Fulham better than our midfield, LB still suspect, Need Daiby back too, Savable shots going in, At times little or no movement, Blew a two goal lead Overall I'm slightly disappointed, thought we could have won it, especially since we were two up. Fulham, are a decent team but still we should have won. I saw some encouraging signs and hopefully Arteta gets back to is usual level next game.

Cazorla is being run into the ground. This is his first season in a new league and he has already become the key man and the guy that whole game depends on. He has no decent back up and can't be rested. For his troubles, he will travel half around the world this week and then we need him again for Spurs next Saturday. Good luck, Santi.
Don't look at Utd ...we will for sure not challenge for the title....just make sure there is no gap to the 4th place. Sad but true.
That is very negative. Arsenal are a good team and they will get better. They are not like man u or man city or chelsea but they can be on a level playing field with everton and spurs and fulham.
Having said this, time for Wenger to go? Bring someone in with bigger ambition? I.e Guardiola who wants prove that he can make it in another team/league than Barca
This is the first season i really can't see it happening. In the past when we struggled we always had at least one special player that pulled us through, Henry, then Fabregas, then RVP. We just dont have that kind of player anymore
I think between Walcott/Giroud/Cazorla we have great potential for goal scoring - this season we will rely more on the team as a whole than one individual. I think we sill sign someone in January as well.
Is it really? Think both the board and wenger want this youth system to work. Bring in a coach who don't care as much and is not afraid to spend some money.
The whole point of the formation we play with the 3 central midfielders is to dominate posession in midfield. If we can't do that against mid table teams at home then maybe time to try something different?
Wenger can't just spend what he likes.... It's the board who will have to sanction the sales/purchases of players.
Arteta is another played that needs to play in nearly all our games and he needs to play the whole game because again there is no back up. At least for him he gets a rest when those ****ing idiotic international friendlies come up.
By the way i think it's worth mentioning that as well as the goals he scored, Giroud had a few other good attempts including the one where he turned his man, went past another and then hit a brilliant shot bottom corner which was saved. He is showing it isn't just his head that he knows how to use.
