    It's a choice of intelligence but incredibly slow reaction from Mertesacker or erratic speed from Gabriel. The former seems like the more logical option but as you stated, he truly has regressed these past few seasons.

    Mertesacker is FAR better than Gabriel and the stats back that up.

    Unfortunately I think Arsenal will need a few favours if we're gonna seriously challenge because we're so inconsistent.

    Massive half coming up now. Our title aspirations basically hang on what happens in the next 45 mins.

    COME ON YOU GUNNERS !!

    I'm no fan of Giroud but looking at utd's center back's it's probably a game made for him.

    Kinda in the back of my mind that we missed out on Klopp now.Well not reactionary but eventually we will need a replacement and it looks like it mostly will be in 3years.

    Trouble is we know Wenger won't see it that way.

    Sanchez and Walcott both need to come off. Offered us absolutely nothing so far.

    The problem is that the position has been highlighted as a weakness of yours for years and Wenger has done nothing to address it.

    Same thing with our goalie. Until Cech, Lehmann was the last world class keeper we had. It took us nearly 10 years to replace him. We still haven't found a similar leader/player in Viera's mold. We still haven't replaced Henry/Van Persie with a world class striker.

    We just don't do urgency do we?

    We need to be taking quick throws, switching play, getting the ball moving as quickly as possible.

    Also Varela has been on a yellow since the 9th minute but Sanchez has barely tested him! He should be taking him on, forcing errors, making him uncomfortable.
