    Agree with this <ok> Arteta and Ramsey did really well in those deep lying positions last season, with Ramsey making bursts into the box. This year Ramsey seems to have got to ****, but overall most of our midfield players (barring Sanchez) are below par. Also agree with playing Chambers at CB and Bellerin at RB, Monreal is a back up LB and that is where it stops. Also agree with the pacey wingers coming back to defend because it is something that both Sanchez and Waclott do well.

    Agree with the OP. Bellerin RB and Chambers CB. Monreal as 1st reserve.

    Disagree with the muppets slating Wenger on this thread, there has been another set-up for the mindless attacks.

    What you have to do is play better than you are currently playing.

    We have a manager that doesn't know how to tactically defend, so unlikely going to happen.

    I concur. We'll probably win more games if we outscore the opposition in every game.

    Last season that would have been Suarez down that hole for you lot.
    This season you're all just staring into that hole

    You lot must be jumping. Brenda acts like he's a Liverpool legend but without Suarez he's really being shown as an average manager. Also the amount of money you've spent is almost criminal, especially as he slated the spuds for spending so much and achieving so little.

    Our right back getting skinned by Swansea's left winger. The intelligence of the Swansea's right back to stay back, knowing that chamberlain doesn't have the intelligence to to help the full back but instead make the wrong decision to sit on the half way line with Swansea full back and watch my team mate getting raped.......Now its Wenger job to say to chamberlain to get back and help out Chambers and nullify the threat...Mourinho, Ferguson even the mastermind Allardyce would of sorted that one...but not Wenger and thats why he needs to go.

    Were 1-0 up...Ramsey and both full backs are bombing forward....the counter attack which lead to the free kick goal shows both our full backs on the edge of the opponents 18 yard box, what ever happen to the schoolboy basics of when 1 full back goes forward the other stays back to cover the centre backs. 1 pass has taken out Flamini, Ramsey, Chambers and Gibbs leaving 2 pacy forwards against Monreal and BFG, where the defensive coaching to tell Flamini at 1-0 up with a quarter of the gamethat his prime responsibility is to protect the centre backs.

    Your saying muppets slating Wenger on this thread but where the f*** is the defensive coaching, why on earth happened to basic fundamentals of 1 full back attacking the other covers the defence. Where is the manager telling Chamberlain to stop man marking the Swansea Right back on the half way line and help out full back. You slate us for criticizing Wenger but when you see these glaring problems week after week, you think does he actually sit there and go through the tapes of past matches and tell Chambers or Gibbs why the **** are you both bombing forward at 1-0 or tell flamini sit back and protect your back 4 and do the f***ing job your paid to do....
