Some good points but it also highlights the lack of balance in your team, you could do with a Lucas for example and some pace (your pace is broken and doesn't work). As a squad you certainly have more options but I don't think we're far behind. I feel that if we up the pace and don't let you play we would have some joy on most occasions, the Arsenal that can mix it up only appears now and then.
Walcott is not injured, neither is Welbeck. What about Sanchez. Bellerin is very quick as is Gibbs. Rosicky is also quick as is Ozil. Chamberlain is likely to be fit for the Liverpool game too.
Walcott is injured often as is Oxo and they are your real pace the others you mention are quick but not at the level of the 2 I mention or in comparison to Sterling for us for example.
Technically, if we're being pedantic, Bellerin has taken the fastest player record from Theo. I have a feeling I heard that Alexis was in third and AOC fourth but don't quote me on that. Looks about right anyway!. Necromancer is right though, we have pace throughout the squad now which a far cry from recent years. Our biggest problem is consistency imo, not helped by the injuries you mention.
Yeah you do have good pace, Sanchez doesn't look fast but certainly is. Your team looks good overall but you seem to have the odd game where evrything just goes wrong.
Will we ever the paciest front four the premier league could ever see? Walcott---------------Sanchez--------------Oxlade ------------------------Welbeck-----------------------
Possibly! Also maybe the quickest defence if we lined up with: Gibbs---Koscielny---Gabriel---Bellerin
We still haven't hit close to top form yet. I would say that we are operating at around 60-70% at the moment. But i pity the teams that when we do reach that level, we will start destroying them.
At the moment we certainly have balance to the team with Coqualan, all the stats show he's one of the current best DMF in the leagues, so not sure about the Lucas point. And then you put in Ramsey as well, who adds further stability, and we are looking good and stable for our more attacking minded midfielders to do their thing.
I haven't seen much of Coqualan tbf so am not qualified to comment, I'm a big fan of Ramsey he's a brilliant player and it's a pity that he's been injured a lot lately. With everyone fit you do have a certain balance but the problem seems to be keeping those key players fit.
Broken nose aside, Coqualan has been fit since coming into the side. Wenger has hinted the medical team have found the reason behind Ramsey's recent injury proness so fingers crossed they can keep him fit longer. And with the defence improving in all positions, Arsenal are much more balanced than they were a few months ago.
