    Lojack's a good keeper, particularly for one so young, but needs to be more willing to bollock his defence and dominate his area imo. The CC final wasn't a goalkeeping error it was a communication error - a more experienced keeper would have screamed at Kos to get out of the way and dived on the ball, knocking the defender out the way if necessary. But that's something that will come with age.

    That said, I still think Arsenal need a better back up. Fabianski's improved this season, but the defence still don't seem absolutely confident with him between the sticks. But GK is not a major problem area atm.

    This is constructive criticism.
    Arsenals biggest problem is they have no backbone.When Arsenal were successful they had as much style as they do now,but they also had 4-5 big athletic battering rams.They were one of the biggest sides in the league in terms of height.And they were monstrously strong.Pires,Henry,Viera,Ljungberg,Edu,Gilberto,Bergkamp,
    Overmars,
    Wiltord.They were able to handle themselves.Arsenal need more Vermaelens.I do however admit he has been a big loss.They should get rid of the likes of Diaby,Rosicky,Denilsen and Arshavin,and sign big strong athletes.

    Being small doesn't harm Barcelona does it? Obviously we aren't as good as them but the point still stands.

    Barcelona play in a lot less physical league so can get away with having smaller players

    We most definitely are not 'poor' (poor sides fight relegation, we are 3rd in the league), we are very good individually (RvP, Fabregas, Arshavin, Nasri etc) and what the **** do you mean by not having physical ability? Does pace count, because we have that in abundance. Djourou, Sagna, Song, and Diaby are all pretty strong whilst players like Nasri and Wilshire are all pretty stocky. You make it sound like we are a group of disabled pensioners.
